Kateřina Šedá prepared a performance for the Tate Modern gallery

London - Czech artist Kateřina Šedá will present her performance titled From Not Seeing to Not Seeing today at the renowned London gallery Tate Modern. 80 residents from the Moravian village of Bedřichovice will participate, along with 80 British professional and amateur artists.
The performance will take place from dawn until dusk at various locations around the gallery on the right bank of the Thames, and the residents of Bedřichovice are expected to behave as they do at home - they will be sweeping, playing table tennis, or greeting passersby in Czech. In addition, the British artists will paint Bedřichovice based on photographs.
According to Tate Modern, the project aims to connect two completely different places - a metropolis with eight million inhabitants and a village where 300 people live. Thirty-three-year-old Kateřina Šedá is the first Czech artist to have the opportunity to create an independent project for the prestigious gallery. In recent years, she has already presented a number of conceptual projects in Britain, which typically involve the participation of local residents.
