RAILTRACKS
John Berger and Anne Michaels, with photographs by Tereza Stehlíková
Railtracks is a collaboration between two writers of remarkable achievement. A meditation on railways, love and loss, at once intimate and committed, it moves from the industrial to the metaphysical, from the tectonic shifts of globalisation to the internal pulses of memory, and from the present to a past that still exists in vivid, essential traces. This sensual and exploratory dialogue is accompanied throughout by the photography of Tereza Stehlíková, which charts its own atmospheric journey by train through the winter landscapes of Southern Bohemia.
For more information or to purchase a copy please see LRB Railtracks.
Limited edition RAILTRACKS prints are available HERE

FINE ART SOCIETY
SCREENING AND TALK:
Featuring filmmaker
TEREZA STEHLIKOVA
Fri 27 May 12pm-1pm
As the "Social Cinema" exhibition draws to a close, The Residence Gallery launches it's Fine Art Society. By creating an open space for sociable encounters and lively discussions about art, it seeks to build appreciation for art, while providing informal, non-directed art instruction; hence removing physical and psychological barriers commonly associated with contemporary art.
The inaugural event of The Residence Fine Art Society features two of Tereza Stehlíková's internationally screened films, followed by a talk with the director herself. Tereza works as a filmmaker, artist, writer and associate lecturer in animation. She is currently researching towards a PhD at the Royal College of Art in the tactile language of the moving image.
For more information please see: The Residence Gallery

A UNIQUE EXHIBITION FOR A UNIQUE GALLERY SPACE, EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITIES OF AN ART THAT IS KEENLY AWARE OF THE SENSES, ESPECIALLY TOUCH.
------------------------------------------------------------
Light and Shadow Salon
Programme for 31st March
TOUCH - MATTER - MEMORY
Curated by Tereza Stehlikova
The idea behind this salon is to approach moving image from the perspective of its physical attributes, literally through exploring the language of matter. Based on Jan Svankmajer’s idea of physical objects being accumulators of memories through their contact with the world, I have invited a number of artists from different disciplines to show some of the particular ways in which they draw stories from matter, be it through the power of language, narrative, sound, touch, movement, or various intriguing combinations of these.
Participants:
Deborah Levy
Stephen Cornford
Akhila Krishnan with musicians Rachael Perrin, Laetitia Stott, Jonathan Ang
Ryan Edquist
Adam Graddon
Roz Driscoll

The King & The Minotaur - A Labyrinth Gallery.
www.TheKingAndTheMinotaur.com
Encounter a unique collection of art and performance as you navigate your way through the corridors and chambers of this surreal space. The project invites you to engage with a rare piece of architecture that would otherwise be cut off from public access. Those who venture inside have only the transformed space to guide them. A retreat from the chaos of the city; a place for introspection and investigation, visitors can find refuge in the space, or they can choose to be challenged by it. Works of art and music lay hidden within the Labyrinth, waiting to be discovered. These works, including contemporary dance, film and sculpture, are integral to the structure of the piece. To compliment this feast for the senses, the Labyrinth will be showcasing the liquid room providing the voyagers of the Labyrinth with a drinks experience like no other.

Striking new photographic collages from the Czech artist and Royal College of Art Researcher, tracing the outlines of, and scale shifts in, both external and interior landscapes. Drawing on the forests and valleys of Southern Bohemia, and with a strongly tactile visual sensibility, Stehlíková creates richly contrasting layers of association within a palette of luminous colour.
“My images are created in layers, in dialogue with each other in the same way that our senses are. A forest is both the sight of trees, rising towards the sky like the columns of a cathedral, and the texture of moss and pine needles in my fingers. What we perceive is informed by all the senses, by what happened just before, by what is about to happen next.” - Tereza Stehlíková

Interior: Constellations
A mixed media installation by Tereza Stehlíková
Kingsgate Gallery, West Hampstead, London NW6
17th September - 3rd October 2010
Preview: 16th September 2010, 6pm - 9pm
Interior: Constellations is a solo exhibition of new work in multiple media by London-based Czech artist / filmmaker Tereza Stehlíková, presenting an immersive installation, including projection, assemblages and photography. Interior: Constellations will explore the archetypal qualities of authentic experience - touch and memory - and their influence on the shaping presence of the self, in a sensual, imaginative meeting of interior and exterior realities.
Showcasing new film and photographic work made on location in Iceland and the Czech Republic, Stehlíková draws on the distinctive legacy of Czech Surrealism and the insights of phenomenology. Her work plays with notable shifts in scale and point of view, incarnating influential philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s concept of intimate immensity. Her focus on objects and places charged with individual or collective resonance creates fertile constellations of association in a spirit of informed reverie.
This seamless and enduring dialogue moves from the foundational house of childhood to the equally resonant landscapes of the natural world. Whether as actual geographies or metaphorical territories, both affect - while also becoming legible as maps of - the psyche’s progression. From staircases (thresholds towards the artist’s vision of reality in all its heightened presence) to forest flora and fauna, all are imbued with the textured potential of the un/conscious, in vividly hued, layered images that incarnate the richness of their moment.
Interior: Constellations also develops Stehlíková’s long term advocacy of the tactile as a critical, albeit often overlooked, element in contemporary fine art practice, relevant here both thematically and practically, as the means by which time imprints its histories into objects and sites and as the process whereby those stored impressions might subsequently be retrieved.
Tereza Stehlíková works as an artist, filmmaker, writer and associate lecturer in animation. She is currently undertaking a practice-based PhD at the Royal College of Art, researching tactile memory and its relation to the moving image. Her films have been shown in various international film festivals, while her writing, photography and illustration has been widely published. She founded the tactile arts network Art in Touch and co-edits the cross-disciplinary magazine Artesian.
Note: there will be an off-site screening (during the exhibition, date tbc) of new / recent films by Stehlíková, alongside work of influence by Jan Svankmajer, Stan Brakhage and others.

The Rare Theatricall, London, 12th and 13th April 2010
Swift as a Shadow, Short as Any Dream
The Rare Theatricall’s latest project is set to be the group’s boldest and most ambitious work to date. Taking a visual approach to both the popular and lesser-known poetry of William Shakespeare, this unique collective of musicians, dancers, puppeteers and animators open up the literary works, finding new expressive possibilities in an exploration of both Baroque and contemporary performance practices. The TRT players will provide a live musical backdrop to the performances with incidental music from John Blow’s Venus and Adonis, Purcell’s The Fairy Queen and Matthew Locke’s The Tempest. Dancers will re-tell the classic tales, merging baroque steps with contemporary movement; shadow puppets with digital projection and period instrumentalists with stop-motion animation.
The Rare Theatricall holds a Leverhulme Junior Chamber Music Fellowship at London’s Royal Academy of Music and thus is committed to creating performances of exceptional quality.
