Vernissage of Tereza Melková's exhibition Memory Palace opens the Mapping cycle. --- Tereza Melková graduated from the II Architecture Studio at UMPRUM, and has been focusing on free creation and the theory of art for a long time (semester internships in sculpture studios, UMPRUM and Visual & Critical Studies, School of Visual Arts, New York). After obtaining her diploma with a strong urban theme, she was selected for an artist residency at the Czech Center in Bucharest, where most of the exhibited works were created. She currently lives and works in Berlin. --- Mapping A map is one of the fundamental tools of an architect. It can serve as a background, a result, or the central process of creation itself. It always has its creator, its method, and its goal; it is a filtered slice of reality, a statement about attitude and interest. Maps combine the advantages and limitations of transferring perceptions of the real world into transferable forms. The subjective environment of creation conflicts with the idea of a map as an objectively recorded fact. Do we map what is, or do we create reality through mapping? The Mapping series presents four approaches to maps, their possibilities, and significance. Mapping the city and its history, cities under pressure from global migratory changes, excluded locations, and unknown layers in a familiar region. --- Program: 25. 11. - 22. 12. 2017 FB #1_ Tereza Melková: Memory Palace / exhibition; 24. 11. 2017, 7 PM / vernissage 27. 11. 2017, 7 PM FB #2_ Nishat Awan: Diasporic Agencies, Mapping the City Otherwise / lecture 28. 11. 2017 FB #3_ Kateřina Šedá: BRNOX / lecture 12. 12. 2017, 7 PM FB #4_ Jürgen Rendl: Suburbandrifter / Stadlnova / lecture + BOLKA / afterparty --- CZ, entry is voluntary, no reservation needed --- www.norm-a.com
