Landscape festival is heading to the finale. He invites to concerts, walks, lectures and discussions
The Landscape festival is taking place in Prague until October 2nd, the aim of which is to draw attention to the broader connections between architecture, landscape, public space and art. This year, it takes place under the subtitle Prague station not/utilized and is located in the locations of four Prague transport and infrastructure hubs that are currently undergoing transformation: Žižkov Freight Station, Libeň and Palmovky Stops, the area between Florence, Masaryk Station and Krenovka, as well as Smíchovské nádraží .
Since June, these places have come to life as part of the Landscape festival thanks to dozens of artistic and architectural interventions and works by renowned creators and students of art schools and architecture. Here we will meet, for example, works by Dominik Lang, Čestmír Suška, Miloš Šejna, Lenka Klodová, Matěj Frank, Tim, Epose 257, Benedikt Tolar or the studios of Kamil Mrva architekti and Prodesi/Domesi.
During the coming weeks, the Ladscape festival also offers other programs. For example, those interested can take part in commented urban walks with Josef Vomáčka dedicated to the industrial past of the present and future locations of Smíchov, Palmovka, Masaryk station, Florence and lower Žižkov.
In September, the festival will mainly include debates between politicians, developers, urban planners and the general professional and lay public, which focus on the urban development of the festival locations. The program also offers a conference dedicated to the ever-current topic of green roofs and facades or debates about the future of wooden buildings. The festival will symbolically close with a joint concert by Midi lidi and Letní kapela with Jaromír Švejdík, which will take place in the premises of the Freight Station in Žižkov, where the main festival exposition is located. In addition to the site-specific installations, there is also a presentation of the development of the wider NNŽ site called Great place for life and the exhibition Polis: Seven lessons from the European Prize for Urban Public Space.
