We invite you to GAMPA for the closing of the exhibition Poetry is. The exhibition reflects contemporary trends in the art world, where poetic language is experiencing a revival across artistic disciplines. In doing so, poetry steps out of its comfort zone - the pages of books - and materializes in objects and multimedia installations by artists, poets experimenting with text at the boundaries of intermedia approaches.

17:30 Opening & Guided Tour

We invite you to join us for a final walk through of the Poetry Is. exhibition, during which we will explore together the work of artists and writers experimenting with text across artistic disciplines. We will see how poetic language becomes a living part of artistic expression and how poetry, materialized in intermedia works, can transform the way we perceive and experience text.

18:00 Iryna Zahladko: Propaganda / Performance

Where and how will Iryna Zahladko's words be heard everywhere? The evening will feature a fresh new release from Adolescent Publishing, a collection of poems entitled Propaganda by Iryna Zahladko. The word here is not an ornament and the verse is not a hiding place.

18:30 Adam Borzic: Peacock Logic / Poetry

The poet's face is blue-green with a metallic sheen. The world of peacock logic is not chained, and you won't find chains of events in it either. Peacock Logic, a collection of poems by Adam Borzic, which he will present during the evening, is a playful meditation that transforms the inner and outer world into images full of colour, paradox and deep feeling.

19:00 Cera.

19:30 Libor Staněk I. / concert

A second one comes on stage and murders the first one, who murders the third one, who murders himself, who murders the first one. He sings. Libor Stanek I, father of the poet and frontman of the Slovak-Czech kraut band Sýček, will play a special set with his friends dedicated to contemporary Czech-Slovak poetry.

20:30 post-music / concert

The Prague duo post-music combines songwriting techniques with broken electronics (and calls it "pissy" pop). Stories of everyday anti-heroes wrapped in cool synth surfaces and splintered beats. Something halfway between London and Brno.
