We are introducing the making-of video, made by Charles J. Goodall with sound composed by Robert Kaplowitz, that shows the whole challenging process of creating and installing 36Q° Blue Hour project.
36Q° Blue Hour is an experimental interactive environment presented at the Prague Quadrennial 2019 with the considerable support of ROBE Lightning (www.robe.cz).
The project 36Q° Blue Hour was based on intensive teamwork that brings together experienced artists with emerging designers to create together, where were led by renowned French visual new media artist Romain Tardy. The curatorial team sought to experiment with the shifting boundaries between the “non-material” or “virtual” and the “real” world, to explore the capacity of performance design to enlist technology in cultural production.

It can seem premature to talk about the next edition of the Prague Quadrennial of Scenography and Theater Space …not for us.
Despite the strangeness of this year, where the pandemic is affecting our lives and creative activities, we believe better times will come soon. Therefore we are not stopping our preparations, are working from our office and home offices and are excited about the preparation process for the 15th edition of PQ. So far, everything is moving forward according to the set plan, and we hope to open the next edition in June 2023!
Follow us for new updates. Information about the concept of the 15th edition will be coming out this spring.
One year after the successful exhibition Fragments, which was part of the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space, a book with the same title has been recently published. On one hundred and fifty pages, the English-Czech book presents a sample of work from scenographers who have significantly influenced the development of the performance design. Their work is represented by photographs of selected artefacts accompanied by a detailed biography. At the same time, the publication reveals interesting facts about their individual creative approaches by including the most inspiring parts of their interviews that were taken during PQ 2019.
The book Fragments / Fragmenty 2019 is released in the English-Czech version and is published by the Arts and Theatre Institute.
The book can be purchased for CZK 350 in the online shop of the Arts and Theatre Institute Prospero.
