Opening hours

nonstop

We opened the windows of the former fashion house Ostravica Textilia to contemporary art. We will use the periphery of a place that has clothed several generations from head to toe for the benefit of the presentation of artists. A performance in an unused place in the centre of Ostrava, which is currently a zone where streams of projects of different origins collide. The introduction of art into the public space enlivens the mundanity of passing through the city, the location becomes an open space for meetings and the presentation of work.

The concept is based on the use of shopfronts as exhibition space, the artist chooses the number of shopfronts and fills them based on his scenario. For a short period of time, the window number becomes the artist's personal brand, under which he is presented throughout the exhibition.

Decrypting and hacking the mundane, creating a new reality behind the glass, a fictional space and a place for discussion.
