Those who do not know their own history are condemned to repeat it. But is it always a bad thing?

Present Perfect traces the marks of art history on the contemporary art scene, be it in direct dialogue with specific earlier works, or in subtler affinities and echoes that resonate across time. The exhibition’s second unifying element is ceramic clay. A material present at the very origins of artistic practice and very much alive today, currently experiencing a renewed surge of interest not unlike that of a century ago. Older works in fired clay are brought into conversation with contemporary pieces in ceramics and beyond. It is, after all, the nature of clay to endure and to hold, within its surface, the imprints of everything that came before.

Artists: Dominik Adamec, Karíma Al-Mukhtarová, Daniela Baráčková, Barbora Dayef, Habima Fuchs, Otto Gutfreund, Anna Hulačová, Helena Johnová, Marta Jirásková, Josef Kubíček, Monika Martykánová, Jimena Mendoza, Milan Mikuláštík, Tereza Sluková, Adéla Součková, David Střeleček, Ladislav Zívr

Curator: Kristýna Pelliconi Péčová

Architecture: Kateřina Radakulan

The Benetheo Foundation announces the second year of the Signs and Landscapes competition, which aims to support the creation of new works of art in publicly accessible landscapes in the Czech Republic. The resulting intervention is intended to be consistent with the mission and values of the Benetheo Foundation.

The call is open to individuals and artist collectives who wish to create a contemporary work that grows out of a specific place and its unique layers. Supported proposals should work sensitively with the landscape and its broader meanings, while conveying a message that goes beyond the purely aesthetic and touches on what transcends the human condition.

Participation is contingent on the involvement of at least one experienced representative from the field of art, architecture or design. The selected proposal will receive financial support in the amount of 250,000 CZK for the realization of the work as well as royalties.

Application Deadline: 31 August 2026
Announcement of results: by 30 August 2026
Announcement of results: by 30 August 2026
