Growth as art / Plant as a challenge

Our intention is not to act on ecological issues or to create pressure, but to remind people that nature is a place for play and play is a way of self-discovery. It is important to see yourself as a part of nature and always look for a balance between what is created and what is found.
It's about listening and rediscovering an unworn view of your surroundings. It is about the energy to transform it into a beautiful environment in which it is a joy to live. That famous search for beauty.
If we extend the search for beauty to the city, it will inevitably include the greenery in the city and the art around us!
The curator and exhibiting author of the project is the artist Magdalena Roztočilová, who said about the project: "What personally fascinates me about this project is precisely the confrontation with children's naturalness and directness. It's about enriching each other and together we're looking for a delicate balance, a certain system in which we live well."

As part of the project, two installations will be created in the museum premises. The first of these will be an installation of gray oil clouds that hang above the heads of the audience and refer to the love that can be conceived even in the strangest forms, such as an oil stain, behind which an entire life story can be hidden. And love for family

The second installation reflects on the question of whether spirit shapes matter or, on the contrary, matter prevails over spirit, and the constant shifting of this boundary. As the only real way in which we do not lose sensitivity to what we see. As part of Magdaléna Roztočilová's installation, children are involved in the realization of the work. In this workshop, children help create a mandala from various found materials, sown seeds and transplanted flowers. This mandala will change form over time from a clearly defined mandala to a wild shape filled with greenery. It will be possible to observe this transformation, contrasting with the firmly captured, immutable and immobile artificial pedestal.

In Monika Hníková's indoor spaces under the clouds, a garden made of glass containers will be suspended from a metal structure, in which various plants will take root, which gradually seem to leave the gallery space. It is an installation called Trifid, which refers to the work "The Day of the Triffids" written by the English writer John Wyndham. This installation should stimulate our curiosity and sensitivity. The plant as an adaptable and resourceful entity. Which is not to be taken light weight.

At any time during the festival and the museum opening hours, you can come plant something, replant, bring something, draw or write a message.
