Veřejný prostor Františka Skály

Description

On a playful journey through public space with one of the most versatile Czech artists, František Skála, it is possible to see the world differently. With humor, seriousness, and self-irony, the visual artist, performer, and musician exceptionally allows a glimpse into many metaphorical doors, behind which lie beauty in imperfection, poetry in the ordinary, handprints in the flow of time, and joy from creation as a way of life. Skála's creative energy is also felt in the process of creating the monumental sculpture of the dog Vulpes Gott, from the creation of the model to the journey by boat on the Elbe to the opening in Dresden. The narrative intertwines the artist's diaries and objects in public space, including his first sculpture in the castle park Veltrusy, Prastánek, or the Paradise Garden at Sluňákov. Friends of František Skála, the band Třaskavá směs, the brass band Provodovjané, and philosopher Miroslav Petříček appear in the film. Skála's Renaissance personality is also known from Divadlo Sklep, the group Tvrdohlaví, the Tros Sketos collective, or M. T. O. Universal.
