A guided tour with the curators will take visitors to all the new temporary art installations on the hospital grounds in Bohunice. It will also explain the circumstances surrounding the creation of the hospital complex, with its long and complicated construction history spanning over half a century. During the tour, we will focus on the urban planning, architectural, and artistic design of the hospital, conceived by architect Miroslav Spurný (Stavoprojekt Brno) in the mid-1960s, according to which the complex expanded over the following two decades to include a gynecology and obstetrics wing, a monumental high-rise block serving as the central inpatient building, and extensive support facilities.

The collective 4AM Forum for Architecture and Media has been active in Brno since 2010, though it develops collaborations in a nationwide and international context. It is a platform that, through its projects, takes a critical look at professional issues related to architecture, urbanism, contemporary audiovisual culture, and socio-political and cultural phenomena in general.
