Exhibition open during the Brno Museum NightSigrún Hardarðottír has long worked with the theme of Gaia and the affinity between human expression and natural forces. In the exhibition project Permutation(s) the artist has prepared a multimedia installation connecting Icelandic nature and a survey of Brno and its surrounding forests (Holedná in Jundrov or Soběšice) realized in the autumn of 2023. Permutation(s) is an interactive multimedia installation conceived as a conversation precisely between these two contrasting worlds — on the one hand Brno, a busy Central European historical city nestled in the heart of South Moravia, a land lush with vegetation home to diverse flora and fauna and on the other hand Iceland, a land of volcanos, ocean waters, geisers and waterfalls significantly more barren. The installation poses a series of questions and thematizes subjective experiences of reality in confrontation with commonly presumed facts of understanding landscape, nature, and technology.
As part of Brno Museum Night, Vasulka Kitchen Brno has prepared a curated program in collaboration with artist Špela Petrič. The artist, whose intermedia work explores the relationships between plants or other living organisms and technology, will present the PL'AI project. It is a site-specific installation in the form of a three-channel video projection, which will be on display in the Vasulka Kitchen Brno only during Brno Museum Night. The program will include the opening and presentation of the PL'AI installation at 5 PM, in which Špela Petrič will present her research and the PLANT-MACHINE project.
PL'AI is part of the PLANT-MACHINE opus and works with the notion of play as an ontological condition for all living bodies, including plants. The project represents a several-month-long process in which interacted growing plants and a robot with artificial intelligence, whose perception of the world was limited to them. Their interactions, referring to a game that transcends the human understanding of time, provide insights into artificial intelligence and how it can be shaped by the plant, and in turn, highlight the morphology of the plant marked by the robot's interventions.
Špela Petrič works with new media and natural sciences. Her artistic practice connects biomedia and its performativity, exploring the relationships between bodies that reveal the foundations of our (bio)technological societies and proposing alternatives for their possible coexistence. She has received several awards, including the White Aphroid (Slovenia), the Bioart and Design Award (Netherlands) and the Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica (Austria).
Milan Kozelka
On the Road
11. 5. 2022 – 19. 6. 2022
House of the Lords of Kunštát
Curator: Vladimír Havlík, Pavlína Morganová, Jana Písaříková
The artist and author Milan Kozelka (1948‒2014) left an indelible mark on Czech art, mainly in the 1980s and 90s. In the 1960s he devoted himself to poetry and his poems are today placed in the context of the Czech beatnik movement. From the 1970s Kozelka became involved in action art. He drew attention to himself primarily through the series Contacts, which he created at the beginning of the 1980s in the Bohemian Forest. His extreme body actions (during one of them he suspended himself in the white water of the Hamerský stream) are an important contribution to the history of Czech body art. In the 1970s and 80s he simultaneously developed his visual art creations in the form of conceptual drawings or land-art installations. Kozelka always followed current events and his restlessness drove him to more actions, often of a political nature.
The preparation and organisation of Milan Kozelka's exhibition, which will provide a broad evaluation of his versatile, remarkably authentic and simultaneously contradictory work, has been a joint project of several galleries (Brno House of Arts, Gallery of Fine Arts in Cheb and Ústí nad Labem House of Arts). The exhibition is accompanied by the monographic publication Svázáno do Kozelky (which might loosely translate as Tied Limbs) by the Větrné mlýny publishers. It shows for the first time Milan Kozelka and his work in its entirety as a multimedia and conceptual artist, performer, poet, prose writer and initiator of diverse activities. The presentation at the House of the Lords of Kunštát will be unique in making public documentation of some of the previously unknown body-art and land-art works alongside other documents preserved in the archive of Kozelka’s friend and collector Vladimír Meistr. In addition, it will highlight the political and environmental aspect of Kozelka's work. The example of this multifaceted personality can be used to reveal the totalitarian period in all its complexity and ambiguity and show the defiance and fragility of an individual facing the power pressures of society.
Another display, this one part of the Culture of the Blind exhibition, is called "The History and Culture of the Blind", which we are organising to mark this year's 77th anniversary of the founding of Day of the Blind in the former Czechoslovakia. The objects, documents, and photographs on display show visitors how blind people were educated, how they worked, and how they spent their free time.

Come to the Technical Museum in Brno to visit a quite unique exhibition - "ENIGMA – the secret world of ciphers", which displays the legendary ENIGMA M3 cipher machine in the Czech Republic for the very first time. The exhibition has been borrowed from the Slovak Technical Museum, which acquired the machine in 2020. It is an extremely rare and unique exhibit of which there are only a few dozen preserved originals in Europe. Several modifications of the ENIGMA device were used, mainly by German armed forces before the outbreak and during the Second World War, in which it played an important role, paradoxically on both sides of the conflict. The machine was able to create more than 100 million combinations, which is why the German army considered encryption using this device to be unbreakable. The exhibition tells the fascinating story of ENIGMA itself and offers a look into the history of cryptology and how it is reflected in the life of ordinary people.

Catalogue of the exhibition: http://sbb-bienale-brno.cz/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/JanRajlich-Scala-2023-Katalog-fin-wr.pdfAbout the artist: Jan Rajlich jr. (born June 10, 1950 in Vyškov) although he has lived in Brno practically his entire life, the current exhibition is his first solo poster exhibition in Brno. Recently, his posters could only be seen in Brno at a joint exhibition with his father, Jan Rajlich sr. in HaDivadlo (2010) and in the so-called intervention in the exhibition of the Moravian Gallery in Brno together with his older oil paintings and drawings (2020).Jan Rajlich jr. exhibited posters, graphic design, serigraphy, drawings and paintings at 38 solo exhibitions at home and abroad (Ahmedabad, Bratislava, Emmerich, Fort Collins, Kharkiv, Moscow, Olomouc, Osaka, Prague, Warsaw, Vienna, Vyškov, Zlín , Žilina etc.) and at 170 domestic and 230 foreign collective exhibitions. He is a laureate of the City of Brno Prize (2001).
Jan Rajlich jr. is an architect by education, but from the beginning of his professional career, in addition to a 7-year intermezzo in interior architecture (State Project Institute of Commerce), he tended to draw and paint and at the same time engaged in graphic design, which gained a dominant position in his work. He also taught at the Brno "Šuřka" art school from 1983 and from the 1990s to the present day at the Department of Industrial Design FSI BUT Brno. In the last 20 years, Rajlich's art work is dominated by poster art, in which he makes use of his lifelong experience with drawing, writing and also with computer graphics, of which he was one of the pioneers in our country (since 1987).
The exhibited posters were mostly created as the artist's responses to various international calls for current cultural and social issues.Motives from posters and drawings by Jan Rajlich jr. on T-shirts, etc. - https://janrajlich.t-shock.eu/cs/
