The Mice in mine, made my mind like a maze-like mine group exhibition, curated by Proto Gallery Systems, was on at National Technical Museum, Prague, running June 25 to 30.
Featuring works by Anna-Marie Berdychová, Alexandr Martsynuk, Creative Currency, Jakub Hájek & František Hanousek, Julius Reichel, and others, the show was installed beneath the museum and took viewers into the ominous fantasy space of an imaginary subterranean mine. Also including work by Kateřina Holá, Marius Engh, Matyáš Maláč, Namor Ynrobyv and Viktor Timofeev, and complete with life-size models of workers, the mood the exhibition evoked is mirrored in the press release:
“It’s coal my dear, coal and fear, fear that tells me that I am not alone here, surrounded by a vast amount of past that froze in time.”**
