Co-Vision: Collective of Artists (CZ/SK/UA) → Confluence

Artist

David Přílučík’s artistic practice focuses on post-natural conditions that challenge modern rationality and imagination. Using diverse aesthetic media—including video, installation, objects, and live events—he connects human and more-than-human themes. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and the Dutch Art Institute, and he is the co-winner of the 2022 Jindřich Chalupecký Award.

Marie Tučková works across text, performance, composition, video, drawing, and installation. Her art explores the politics of listening, voice hierarchies, polyphony, collaboration, and the intersection of poetic and political language. She is the recipient of the 2020 Jindřich Chalupecký Award. She holds a BA from UMPRUM in Prague and earned an MA from the Dutch Art Institute’s Art Praxis program in 2021.

Selmeci Kocka Jusko (Alex Selmeci a Tomáš Kocka Jusko) are an artistic duo who create complex intermedia installations or, in contrast, present collections of physical objects that function as energy tabs. These objects can be either tools that create a complex situation or the by-products of this situation. This ambiguity generates a tension, which, however, also exudes a surprising calm. The artists examine the relationship between visual representation, memory, and perception, using experimental approaches to the structure of exhibition spaces. Both studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.

Katarina Gryvul is a Ukrainian composer, violinist,  music producer and educator. She merges the concept of holophony (sound recorded with special techniques) with avant-garde techniques to craft distinctive sonic landscapes using instruments, voice, analogue synthesizers, and spatial sound.Her pieces were performed at festivals such as: Warsaw Autumn, Ars Electronica, CTM, Rewire, L.E.V., Musikprotokoll, Mixtur, Gaudeamus, Nuits Sonores, Festival Presence and many others.

Location

Riegrovy Sady Park was established in 1902 through the merger of the former Kanálka garden with surrounding vineyards and estates. Some original structures have been preserved to this day. Over a century old, the park offers forested areas, open meadows, and iconic viewpoints, including sweeping vistas of Prague dominated by Prague Castle. Named after Czech politician František Ladislav Rieger, the park was temporarily renamed Smetana Park during World War II and later restored after the war. One of its secluded corners, near a public water fountain, provides an ideal natural and intimate setting for the LED installation of the Co-Vision project. The site’s atmosphere echoes the unique environment of the Confluence Protected Landscape Area, drawing attention to the work’s message.
