Close your eyes. Can you feel it? Even though there is no sand scratching the skin between your toes, it feels like you are at the beach and time flows a little slower. The grass beneath your feet is damp as if from the tide, the air carries the scent of fresh greenery, and from somewhere comes a quiet rustling. Is it the Rokytka stream? Or just the river flowing a few streets away, its voice occasionally reaching you here? A rustling in the bushes? Above you, it's not palm trees casting shade, but lindens – and yet it still feels like a vacation…

We are inviting you to listen in to a sonic intervention of the artist Jonáš Balcar, who explored and researched the environments of Palmovka alongside the artist and architect Savka Marenić and will arrange his field recordings into a new musical composition. The intervention also entails the sculptural furnishings of billionpalms — a collaboration of the sculptor Tereza Tecl Brussmanová and the architect Vojtěch Tecl.

Come to our Beach with your own towel, headphones, and sunglasses. For those, who do not have access to the internet, there will be mp3 players and headphones available.

billionpalms is a long-term project of Tereza Tecl Brussmanová, a sculptor, and Vojtěch Tecl, an architect, focusing on sculptural furniture and other objects of everyday use. 

Jonáš Balcar is a graduate of of CAS FAMU. His artistic practice focuses on musical and sonic compositions, presented in the context of gallery installations, performative situations, and narrative forms.
