RELATIONS SET-STOCK UTOPIAS/  Salon of Czech Scenography

The second iteration of exhibition reflecting Czech contemporary scenography and theatre design.

Seven scenographers and collectives of different foundations meet for the second time; at Studio Alta in Prague. Within the exhibition space, they discuss the principles of scenic work and mapping the development of their visions in its minimal (almost absent) shape. Set design as an artifact, set design as an idea, set design as a collective practice is this time presented through audio and video formats. Let’s refocus back to the heads and utopian visions of scenographers and leave the auditoriums, stages, stocks and workshops behind.

The Prague edition of this exhibition is not based on physical “set-stock”, instead audio and video is used to channel the authors’ views, processes, relations and utopias.

First part of the exhibition happened in Brno in cooperation with Terén, one of the stages of Centre for Experimental Theatre in Brno.

The featured artists include Pavla Beranová, Michal Cáb, Handa Gote, Zuzana Sceranková, Matěj Sýkora, Martina Zwyrtek and Sedlčany Amateur Dramatic Society as well as the memory of Petr Matásek.

The exhibition RELATIONS SET-STOCK UTOPIAS follows the tradition of the national “Salon of Czech Scenography” which, under various names, has been held since 1977. While in previous years the authors presented their work individually, this year the format is transformed into a thematically rounded exhibition. The salon principle is, however, represented too, by the Scenographic Album. 

Curators: Amálie Bulandrová, Anna Chrtková, Jan Matýsek
