Exhibition
Kateřin Šedá, UNES-CO
permanent exhibition
The exhibition presents the showroom of the international company UNES-CO which maps the impact of mass tourism on the historical centre of Český Krumlov. The company aims to fight the phenomenon faced by all UNESCO cities – that they are turning into mere props with normal life disappearing from them.
Kateřina Šedá
Kateřina Šedá (1977) is a Czech artist whose work is close to social architecture. In 1999–2005 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague with Professor Vladimír Kokolia.
In her work, Kateřina Šedá focuses on socially-conceived events, often employing dozens or hundreds of people who have nothing to do with art. The events mostly take place right in villages or city streets. The purpose of experimenting with interpersonal relationships is to bring those involved out of their stereotypes or social isolation. She tries to induce a lasting change in their behaviour by means of their own (provoked) activity and a new usage of everyday resources.
