F 26 / Mia Milgrom: Fibres / Vlákna

You are warmly invited to a picnic connected with the opening of an art object by Mia Milgrom, which the artist began creating during her residency in Pardubice in the spring of this year.

• The sculpture, set in the river, responds to the changing water levels – gradually revealing itself or becoming partially submerged as the water rises and falls.

"During my residency in Pardubice, I explored the Chrudimka River and its surrounding river landscape. Through research and a site-specific installation, I address the themes of instability and pollution. I asked myself questions about perceiving a place from different perspectives—from the riverbank, from the riverbed, from the railway bridge. In terms of materials, I reference both traditional techniques of water impregnation and purification, and human infrastructures and impermanence."

This project is made possible with the kind financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Statutory City of Pardubice. Thank you!
