Where I Feel You: ART CATCHING
1/4—5/4
Where I Feel You: ART CATCHING
- Community Event
The event takes its cue from the legendary exhibition Socha a město (Sculpture and the City, 1969), which fundamentally changed the relationship between art, space and the viewer. Taking works out of the gallery and into public space broke down the barrier of the “white walls”, making art a natural part of everyday life.
A walk that becomes a game.
Art Catching, taking place on 1 April, offers a glimpse of an interactive project being developed by the new artistic and curatorial group UM Kolektiv in Liberec.
Art Catching brings this idea into a contemporary context, adding a playful, tongue-in-cheek twist in the spirit of April Fools’ Day. Rather than a passive visit to an exhibition, it is an active experience that encourages movement, discovery and a fresh perspective on the city we usually pass through without paying much attention.
The artists approach Liberec as a living organism. They create site-specific installations that are subtle interventions in the urban space rather than monuments, playing with perspective, attention and interpretation. Here, art emerges through personal experience, often during an ordinary journey through the city.
The project does not seek to reject the gallery, but to extend its reach. Art need not be closed off or hard to understand: it can be alive, open and accessible to everyone.
The event will continue until the artworks themselves disappear.
