Common Space: Gallery called into being new venues for contemporary art in Prague.
Although Prague is well served by small and medium sized exhibition spaces, the Common Space Gallery played a different and complementary, although critical, role to the existing spaces.
Common Space: Gallery engaged people who were not involved in the contemporary art scene, while maintaining a standard and focus that appealed to ‘insiders’. We aimed to allow ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ to interact, blurring the boundaries that separated these groups. As well as promoting access to contemporary art in unintimidating settings, we sought to call into being new critical publics for the Prague art scene, prompting new critical reflections and helping to make more fertile ground for new ideas.
This implicit interrogation of the current arrangements and relations of art production and experience, formed part of a wider project of critical engagement with theworld more generally in collaboration with Everything is Political: Prague Political Discussion Space & The Prague Philosophy Club.
Three major exhibitions where constituted within the Common Space: Gallery, which led to us being featured in Flash Art Magazine and being highlighted amongst Provokator Magazines STDS (Stuff that doesn't suck).
Ex1 - Double Game Squared
Ex2 - I would be happier if I let everything be true at once
Ex3 - What I never had is being torn from me. What I did not live, I will miss forever.
Explore these spaces using the guides contained in the relevant postings. Ex3 Postings remain a work in progress, as does 'Common People'.
