GASK artfest
The Jesuit College, Kutná Hora
31st July – 9th August 2009
For ten summer days Kutná Hora is opening its gates to the first year of the GASK Artfest festival. The attractive multigenre programme will be held in the courtyard of the Jesuit College close to the Gothic Cathedral of St. Barbora, and the streets and squares of the ancient town. The festival will be a feast not only for devotees of the alternative music scene, but also for lovers of film and contemporary fine art. The festival organiser – GASK / The Central Bohemian Gallery - presents a progressive segment of visual and musical culture in an imaginative and carefully thought out programme as the best possible invitation not quite a year before it will open in the Jesuit College in May 2010.
PLACE AND FORMULA / 31st July - 9th August.
Curator: Lenka Vítková
A series of performances and visual interventions offers unexpected events and meetings that in the setting of magical, historically unique Kutná Hora may seem like apparitions t to chance passers-by and residents. The curator of the project and the ten invited artists will shift, enhance, and "undermine" the everyday and ordinary.
