14. 6. – 31. 8. 2025

The public space of Litomyšl has been traditionally occupied by an open-air exhibition organized by the city gallery. Five curators – Ondřej Horák, Rostislav Koryčánek, Marie Straková, Žaneta Richterová and Tea Záchová – have collaborated with selected artists and, through site-specific installations and performances, highlighted the characteristic qualities of selected urban locations in accordance with their history and unique narrative of the past. The interpretation of the festival theme of passion within the framework of individual curatorial concepts is coupled with a shared desire to establish a harmonious dialogue with a specific place, rather than to intervene in its integrity in a disruptive manner. The project revives the general discourse on the topic of incorporating artwork into the urban exterior, whilst emphasizing its urban, aesthetic and ethical aspects.
