Anne-Lise Broyer and Nicolas Comment - Fading, until Feb 18
At the beginning, there was an attempt to reconstruct the 'feeling plan of
Prague' by Roger Valliant, published in the 1920's by the Aventinum publishing
house. Like many others, Valliant spent an 'artistic apprenticeship'
in Prague as a guest of the Czech poet Richard Weiner, a member of the
avant-garde review 'Red' that is known as the Prague branch of the 'simplicists
of Reims', who enthusiastically embraced the work of the Czech
painter Josef Šíma.
The photographs presented were collected by the authors while tracing
Josef Šíma with the aim to set up a cycle of paintings and experiences that
are diverse but still tied together by a deepwater whirl, like those that
curl water in the Vltava river…
The project was established in 2005 at the French Institute in Prague as
part of the carte-jeune génération Culturesfrance program.
LITERATURE
CAFÉ OF THE FRENCH INSTITUTE
Life, Love, Death, Emptiness and Wind, on Jan 22 at 6 30 pm
Literary evening devoted to the 'Playing High' group on the occasion of
the publication of the Czech translation of Roger Gilbert-Lecomt's book
of poetry, published by the Malvern publishing house. Among the and
artists in the group, who not only dealt with literary and artistic problems
but also explored philosophical and existential questions of life, belonged
Josef Šíma, the Czech painter. In the late 1920's, the group published a
review, under the same name, and maintained a close but stormy relationship
with the surrealistic group. A bilingual reading accompanied by
music as a part of the exhibition program.
