Kateřina Šedá *1977

Meer over het boek

This book presents a comprehensive survey of projects by Czech artist Katerina Sedá (*1977), housed in a box with 10 folders documenting her work from 1999 to 2007. Sedá's art explores "invisible" contexts and social relationships within her family and her hometown, Ponetovice, a village in Moravia. Her observations manifest as drawings, texts, and diagrams, which inspire a series of assignments, tasks, and games in her surroundings. One notable project, “Nic tam není” [There's Nothing There] (2003), involved the entire village in a "society game." Sedá devised a universal "Regime for a Day," coordinating all villagers to synchronize their activities on an ordinary Saturday. Additionally, she collaborated with her grandmother on "It Doesn't Matter" (2005), where her grandmother created hundreds of drawings from memory, documenting items sold in her lifelong shop. Sedá's work reflects a deep engagement with her community and personal history. This volume is the fourth in the "Tranzit" series, edited by Vít Havránek, focusing on Central and Eastern European artists.
