27.9. 17:00- 00:00 Právnická fakulta UK, nám. Curieových 7, 116 40 Staré Město Jako pichlavé upozornění na protiklad ke snaze aktivně řešit viditelné problémy současného světa připravil speciálně pro Noc vědců a prostor atria Právnické fakulty performanci umělec Vladimír Turner, který svým pojetím poukazuje na aroganci několika málo procent lidí – de facto vlastníků planety. Pokud nejste na Guestlistu, po červeném koberci se jen tak neprojdete. Performance Guestlist se bude odehrávat po celou dobu trvání akce a zatáhne do hry i překvapené návštěvníky Noci vědců. Z této performance vznikne v průběhu noci experimentální dokument. → more

M for man: “The future occupant of a coffin that walks around for a while and is allowed to do all sorts of silly things.” This is just one of hundreds of definitions found in the Alphabet des anarchistischen Amateurs (The Anarchistic Amateur’s Alphabet). Published by the Graz literary scholar Beatrix Müller-Kampel in 2007, the book is a collection of “aphorisms, statements, and observations” by Herbert Müller-Guttenbrunn (1887–1945). From 1923 to 1929 he lived in Thoneben, located in the municipality of Semriach north of Graz. During this period he first published his magazine Das Nebelhorn (The Foghorn) which temporarily bore the secondary title Zeitschrift für die Interessen vorurteilslosen Menschentums (Magazine for the Interests of Unbiased Humanity). This exhibition project brings together his writings with works by contemporary artists. It gives an impetus for a contemporary examination of anarchism, which “through radically democratic principles ‘wished to establish’ a societal framework suitable for providing the greatest possible freedom to the individual,” and providing “the greatest possible equality and justice,” as author Ilija Trojanow writes. In the present time, when ideological narrow-mindedness, rising nationalism, and totalitarian tendencies are trying to take root again, this is more relevant than ever. → more

The international group exhibition focuses on the topic of climate change and the related climate crisis, which is the biggest challenge of the present. It is becoming increasingly evident that continuing in the current way of life leads to the destruction of the planet and to endangering the survival of humanity. Quick action is required to halt this threat. It is a challenge concerting us both as individuals and as a society. Preservation of life on Earth requires systematic changes in all human areas and activities: in energy production, food production, waste management, transport or housing, changes in legislation, and the financial system. The exhibition is a celebration of these changes. A new society is emerging in ruins and rubble of these changes. The collapse of a dysfunctional system provides room for new ideas and solutions. The solutions are based on the ethical relationship of man to nature. In this process, art’s task is symbolic: to inspire, ask questions, but also experiment with answers. And also to remind that activity is the best remedy for negativity. Exhibiting artists: Darina Alster, Markus Hiesleitner, Oto Hudec, Lenka Klodová, Daniela Krajčová, Radim Labuda, Marie Lukáčová, Ralo Mayer, Milan Mikuláštík, Oliver Ressler, Daniel Rupaszov, Jaap Scheeren, Franz Tišek, Vladimír Turner. Curator: Lenka Kukurová   → more
