FIGHTLESSNESS
The exhibition Fightlessness is the first solo presentation of the art group Little Warsaw in the Czech Republic. The prevailingly sculpture exhibition develops several parallel narratives that have been in the center of interest of Little Warsaw, along two basic lines: individual confrontation with the external world and with oneself.  

FLOW
In the center of the Flow exhibition stands a monumental object, dominating the space of Kostka Gallery. Here its author further develops his long-term interest in natural and meteorological phenomena, this time stepping out of the two-dimensional canvas, trying to grasp this complex theme by means of a complex environment – a total installation.  

PERFORMANCE
The small listening room in the MeetFactory foyer will show a modular performative installation DungeonTT by Norwegian musician Lars Holdhus (releasing under TCF moniker) and Czech artist Martin Kohout (Jindřich Chalupecký award nominee), created out of ceramics, tea and 4-channel sound. A performative installation will be presented as a part of the SYNAPSE project initiated by Insomnia Festival in Tromsø, Norway and MeetFactory which is funded by EHP 2009-2014.  

The our new resident, Sian Dorer, will show a dance performance at her studio no. 23 called Black Felt Fantasy, which is concerned with the meaning of the void and what constitutes our presence in surrounding environment.
