Art has moved to Humpolec!

Zone 8smička in Humpolec aims at blurring out differences between the city centre and the outskirts. The industrial area located half way between Prague and Brno has undertaken a major transformation into a cultural venue which conveys a visitor’s encounter with contemporary art. The Art Zone 8smička has the ambition to create an impetus for creation of a local community in Humpolec, which would also be open to all visitors from the surrounding area and further. 8smička will show 3 curated exhibitions per year accompanied by variety of programmes. 8smička opened in 18 April 2018 and it is administered by 8smička Foundation.

Everyone Is Entitled to Everything

14. 06. – 19. 10. 2025

Let us imagine a world where everyone is entitled to everything, where all desires and needs are fulfilled, and every worry finds its solution. Everyone will have a job, go to work less, and it won’t matter much that they must change jobs often or that they feel no connection to it. Everything will be close to everywhere else—it will be easy to escape, to hide. Whether to distant islands or into virtual clouds. Humanity will forget the suffering caused by past attempts to establish communism. Capitalism will accelerate definitively and merge with utopian visions of a fully automated, luxurious future. Entertainment will be ten times more abundant than today. But perhaps, nothing will truly entertain anyone anymore. Life will be granted absolute control and the required surveillance. Everyone will be entitled to everything. The difference between reality and simulation will be minimal. The world will have to unify. Or fall apart—which need not necessarily mean the end of civilizations.
