A community of paintings, sculptures and objects as a tangible product of a base for creative operation. As a memory of a social space, the existence of a whole in all its variations, the stream of events lived. As a testimonial to values fully anchored and constantly creatively manifested. In a space catering not only to fledgling artists: a space for mutual intergenerational synergy, openness to foreign creative approaches, a space where works exploring topical themes are created and presented. We find ourselves at an exhibition held to celebrate Studio PRÁM’s tenth anniversary. It is installed both in the gallery and both shared halls of the studio, and while it features works from the last two years, it is recapitulative in nature. Contemporary works naturally encompass the past.
The works presented on the upper floor of the studio thematize the openness and reality of conscious, constructive realms of being, reflect on social or personal phenomena, and convey generally shared values. The lower floor provides a base for works thematizing phenomena impossible to grasp rationally: powerful life forces we are still only striving to become conscious of. They revive archetypes and refer to mythological symbols. They approach the non-human, physical and chemical processes of a mineralogical nature, which, however, inevitably cyclically transport us back to our individual essence. Both planes exist in a lively creative mutuality.

The broad range of individual statements. Flow, transformation, passage. Common themes emerge; intersections crystallize. The discovery of the freedom of wholeness through the experience of an individual, unique journey. The awareness of the desire to make the best of the creative space of which we are a part, and which is available to us here. The situation of the individual in the context of the community can be viewed metaphorically through the prism of creative interpretation of existence in general. Representatives of the new cosmology, Thomas Berry and Brian Thomas Swimme, have observed a current tendency towards differentiation, a growing subjectivity, and communion within the overall order of reality in their scientific contemplations and imaginings with spiritual insights – see for instance The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos: Humanity and the New Story (Orbis Books, Maryknoll, New York 1996). They define this trinity of complexity, autopoiesis, and community as the main organizing principle allowing us to view the universe as a genetically related community of beings bound together in an inseparable relationship in space and time. They therefore view the universe as a communion of subjects rather than a collection of objects, whereby the ability to relate to other people and things is directly related to the process of differentiation and subjectivity. We can thus view this exhibition, as well as the very existence of Studio PRÁM, as a product of the workings of the triune cosmogonic principle in practice.
The project is implemented with financial support from City of Prague and State Fund of Culture of the Czech Republic.
