Prague City Gallery<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and the Signal Festival bring a unique experience in the environment of the Baroque jewel on the banks of the Vltava River – the Troja Castle. The Feast of St. Lucia, which falls on 13 December, is, according to folk superstition, associated with the longest night of the year.<\/p>\nThe idea of the project is based on the combination of the refined beauty of the Baroque – opulent splendor and geometric order – and contemporary art using current technologies and approaches. We want to show the castle, its fascinating architectural details or sculptural decoration, and its gardens in a new light, as living, inspiring structures. This modern Baroque-digital celebration of light will allow us to see and understand the principles of Baroque art differently than the usual, rational view.<\/p>\n

You can also look forward to video mapping!<\/h2>\n Sleeping in Progress<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the name of the installation you will see at St. Lucia this year. \n4 talented artists collaborated on this installation:\u00a0Ond\u0159ej Raku\u0161an, David B\u00f6hm \u2013 Ji\u0159\u00ed Franta & Aid Kid<\/strong><\/p>\nThe main inspiration for the video mapping installation are the drawings of the artist duo\u00a0David B\u00f6hm and Ji\u0159\u00ed Franta<\/strong>. The\u00a0black-and-white pen drawings<\/strong>, which are created as a\u00a0daily work of the experienced hands of the artists, are full of almost Dadaist exaggeration. The projections in the context of the historical facade of the castle are reminiscent of illusory Renaissance sgraffito, which are combined with random textual messages that often accompany the daily works in progress.<\/p>\nThe figurative \u201csleep that is in progress\u201d connotes the fact that St. Lucia is the patron saint of the blind and eye defects. Animator\u00a0Ond\u0159ej Raku\u0161an<\/strong>\u00a0retains elements from both worlds \u2013 both from popular video mapping installations and the wit contained in the artistic style of both artists.<\/p>\nThe dynamic soundtrack was created by producer\u00a0Aid Kid<\/strong>, whose music gives the installation a modern twist. The musical composition features Jakub \u0160vejnar<\/strong> (drums) and Tom\u00e1\u0161 Li\u0161ka<\/strong> (double bass).<\/p>\n Sleeping in Progress \u2192 Ond\u0159ej Raku\u0161an, David B\u00f6hm, Ji\u0159\u00ed Franta & Aid Kid<\/p>\n
