Vojtěch Ptáček – Heritage Varieties Today
A talk about heritage fruit varieties such as Panenské, Grahamovo and Šídlenka. You will learn about the role they can play in contemporary gardens and why preserving them for future generations matters. A tree is not only a source of fruit and timber, but also the bearer of a story shaped by uncertainty and determination. Let us find our own way to these old varieties and begin to value them as a living memory of our history.
Vojtěch Ptáček
I have been a gardener for as long as I can remember. It was my grandmother who first set me on this path. I studied horticulture at both secondary school and university, with a particular focus on fruit growing. Since 2018, I have been involved in preserving old varieties of fruit trees through a programme run by the Czech Union for Nature Conservation, while also raising awareness of the importance of conserving and propagating them.

Hynek Alt – Fantom
Fantom, a site-specific installation by Hynek Alt, returns to the site where J. Sudek once worked in Prague’s Újezd district. The central element of the exhibition is a video created within a digital reconstruction of the studio. The exhibition includes a new photographic work that returns to Sudek’s portraits of veiled faces.
Infrastructures of Imagination
The exhibition explores how mythical and ritual narratives are reconfigured within an environment of data abstraction, distributed knowledge, and the aesthetic protocols of the present, and how digital culture shapes new forms of storytelling.
Michal Kalhous – Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory
The exhibition *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* presents a series of photographs created over the recent period. It is an experimental tool of synthesis and a search for a path to fulfillment. At the same time, it is a purposeful, captivating exploration of suddenness and their relationships. *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* is once again an attempt at a dialogue between inner experience and a higher, transcendent order.
