Art of International Exchange – Slovenian artists exhibiting in the Czech Republic, Czechs exhibiting in Slovenia (2 exhibitions in two organisations within one organisation) As a result of the international artistic exchange CZECHOSLOVENIA between the University of Ostrava and the Ptuj City Gallery, in cooperation with KUD Art Stays, there are two large group exhibitions. The first, an exhibition of selected Slovenian artists at the Gong Gallery in Ostrava (CZ), which was on view until the end of November, and the second, an exhibition of selected Czech artists at the Ptuj City Gallery, which is on view until 8 January 2023. This latest installment, the double exhibition “CZECHOSLOVENIA – The Art of international Exchange” utilizes all the mutual talents that we have come across in the last 20 plus years and showcases the best of what both countries have to offer in the contemporary arts. It is a strong testament to the quality and talent that we have had the pleasure to work with, and the imperative demands action that history cannot do without.

The project was created in cooperation with the University of Ostrava. ...the creative core of the chosen curatorial approach..., ...the spatial possibilities of the Czech Center in Vienna..., ...just a fraction of Ostrava's art scene. The viewer..., ...the possibility to identify the stereotype of the relationship..., ...the stereotype of the center..., ...and the periphery, ...today..., ...perceives itself as an authentic part of the European art context - a set of unique regional art centers. Lost in Time is the name of the exhibition project, referring to a theoretical construct, accentuating the subject creative ecotype as a field consonant in content and form, or dissonant in expression with a specific niche, whose geocultural context currently continues to exist as a thought scheme, as an extratemporal space, as an open-air museum of visual, conceptual and social interactions.
