Wanderer, it is your tracks
which are the road, and nothing else.
Wanderer, there is no road,
walking makes the road.
By walking, the road is made,
and when glancing back
you contemplate the trail
which you will trample no more.
Wanderer, there is no road,
only the wakes on the sea.
Antonio Machado
Zbyněk Baladrán (born in 1973 lives and works in Prague, CZ) is an author, visual artist and curator. He studied art history at the Charles University Philosophical Faculty in Prague from 1992-1996, and from 1997-2003 at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts in the studio of visual communication. He is one of the co-founders and a curator of Galerie display, which was established in Prague in 2001, and in 2007 merged with tranzit. cz into tranzitdisplay, where he continues to oversee the exhibition program.
Denisa Lehocká (born 1971 in Trenčín,lives in Bratislava, SK) deals with questions of intimacy, femininity, family (pedigree) and other nets through diary like intuitive drawings / paintings which consequently play crucial roles in further very extensive installations. So reading of her works is possible only in direction from fragment to entirety. Her vocabulary is built by fundamental elements like streams, roots and branches, plates, vases and other vessels, fruits and plants, chairs and tables, lakes and islands, lines, circles, dots, spots and crystals in conjunction of gesture and geometry. Lehocká stays obviously speechless, never commenting her works which obviously, as well, stay Untitled.
Adam Vackar (Born in 1979 lives and works in Prague,CZ).
He has studied at Academy of Visual Arts in Prague, graduated at Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-arts in Paris and has absolved artist-in-residence program in
Palais de Tokyo. His work was presented in diverse international exhibitions such as in Centre Pompidou, Palais de Tokyo, MALBA Buenos- Aires, Bucharest Triennial, Prague Triennial, City Gallery Prague and others.
