Curated by artist Lukáš Hofmann (aka Saliva), the show “leads us into the medium of contemporary art itself, then pauses to sniff at the air around it” and features over 20 artists including Josefin ArnellMaria Gorodeckaya, Saemundur Thor Helgason, Lukáš Hofmann, Sophie Jung, Nat Marcus, Magdalena Mitterhofer + Shade Théret, Valinia Svoronou, and tranzit.cz, among others. 

Examining “reality’s soft scaffold—the truisms by which we knew it becoming damp, and possibly tearing,” the exhibition is a varied installation of ‘memorabilia, mass-produced objects, and installations’ and accompanied by a series of performances including sauna recital A guiding dog: You are soooo hot by Valentýna Janů, Therapy by tranzit.cz and a lecture by Sophie Jung in cooperation with Hope Recycling Station.**
