Matter of Art Ve věci umění

The Biennale Matter of Art is an interdisciplinary project which takes place in Prague and other locations every two years. The upcoming edition will run from June 12 to September 13.

Initiated by tranzit.cz, the biennale presents artistic practices that reflect the contemporary world and offer unexpected approaches to its interpretation and deeper understanding.

The biennale consists of a three-month exhibition, art installations, live events, and other interventions and collaborations.

The biennale amplifies voices from central and eastern Europe and supports artists through residencies and the commissioning of new art projects.

The biennale takes social and structural hierarchies into account, challenging them and creating space for the patient and empathetic building of relationships, which are a fundamental element of a resilient and cohesive society.

tranzit.cz is a feminist and nonprofit organization that prioritizes the wellbeing of people and communities.

tranzit.cz publishes texts in the field of critical theory as well as prose and art publications, which can be purchased in its online bookstore.

tranzit also produces podcasts on contemporary culture, which are available free of charge.

Since 2023 it has also been organizing the Performance Art Festival. tranzit.cz is part of the international network tranzit.org.
