AFTERLAND / deprivating zone

The studio of Fine Arts 1 cordially invites you to the final exhibition of the summer semester 2025!

Behind the City Gallery Pardubice (Gampa) is a plot of land, an abandoned space where a large pile of soil full of fragments from other buildings, waste and stones was brought in during the construction of the gallery. It is a longitudinal embankment - a mound - which originally occupied more than half of this land. However, within the framework of Kateřina Konvalina's concept and thanks to the semester-long collaboration with Gampa, we turned it into a garden, which we called "AFTERLANDS".   Thus, we addressed the question of how we can relate from an artistic and civic position to similar types of (in)places, such as brownfields, and the potential of public spaces for interspecies encounters or community gardening. That was through the fieldwork itself, but also through lectures and seminars by invited guests.
