There is new art on the gates of garages. Following the last guided tour of the exhibition Present Perfect: Traces of Time in Contemporary Ceramics, we invite you to its official presentation by the artist himself, Tomáš Moravec.

If you’re traveling to 8smička from farther away, you’ll likely have to take the D1. Today, alongside fields and towns, the area surrounding the highway is increasingly shaped by warehouse complexes, which are becoming an integral part of the Czech landscape.

Artist Tomáš Moravec has long focused on the transformations of lived-in spaces and often-overlooked places. While traveling between Prague and Humpolec, he was captivated by the unfinished concrete structure of a planned outlet mall near Loket, which is gradually being reclaimed by nature. From images of this peculiar area—on the border between a man-made structure and the wild landscape—emerged the work Skelet, which blurs the boundary between the real and the almost artificial, generated space.
