Kolben Open 4 + With wings

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kolben Open is not only focused on the open art studios in the former Praga building, Pragovka.
The event was founded in 2014 by artists in Pragovka, originally as an event for a few friends. It has grown into a day-long artistic event.
In addition to visiting the private spaces of artist studios (there are 70 artists at Pragovka, of which about half regularly participate) and the presentation of the work in the places where it is made, other activities include a tour of unused buildings in the fomer Praga area, a children's workshop and a concert. Artists often present their works in the form of micro-exhibitions or site-specific installations. Of course the artists will be present in their studios. In spring term in Pragovka when in the mulberry trees are in bloom, the industrial sites look very nice, and during the third Kolben Open in 2016 more than 800 people attended. So this year for the fourth Kolben Open, held on April 8, 2017, we are preparing a couple surprises. 

The building dates to 1907 and the founding of the first automobile factories in Prague, which was later renamed the Praga brand. In the ČKD Kolbenova area they produced cars, trucks and their components. One of the advertising slogans for the company was: "We make everything from pins to locomotives !!!" 

The artists based in Pragovka are inspired by the genius loci of a vanished world, each in their own unique way. Defunct factories around the world are often rented as studios, artists find them convenient for their needs. We have decided to take advantage of this temporary zone and allow the public to join us for one afternoon. Of course the artists will be present in their studios. In the past, the artists who opened their studios included Anna Hulačová, Adam Stech, Vladimír Merta, Lawrence Wells and others.
