The ROXY club, in collaboration with NoD Gallery, is preparing a brand-new site-specific installation of artworks titled ROXY Visuals vol. 19, which builds on a tradition spanning more than a decade of presenting contemporary Czech art against the backdrop of this legendary music club.
The current edition of artworks, subtitled Contemporary Art at Night, was curated for specific locations within the ROXY club by a collective of prominent Czech artists: they will present their interventions in the collaborative project Epos 257 & Jan Lesák feat. Mirek Čáslavka, solo works by Jakub Tomáš, Slavomíra Ondrušová, Tomáš Roubal, as well as legends of the Czech art scene such as Vladimír Skrepl and Vladimír 518.
Art has long been a fixture on the Czech and international art scenes, and they also share close artistic and personal ties with the artist duo David Böhm and Jiří Franta, who are currently exhibiting at the partner gallery, Galerie NoD. The curatorial concept for the installation and the collection of artworks was developed by Galerie NoD curator Pavel Kubesa.
The next edition of ROXY Visuals attempts to continue redefining the relationship between contemporary art and the specific atmosphere of a nightclub. The individual artistic interventions present a wide variety of aesthetic and formal approaches that viewers may encounter in contemporary art. The aim of the exhibition concept is to open up contemporary art and its themes to new contexts, situations, and audiences, and to present it through site-specific installations created specifically for the given space.
