Trafology (2006-2014)

Description

The Prague art group Trafačka (Jan Kaláb, Michal Cimala, Jakub Nepraš and Blanka Čermáková) publishes a summary publication about the eight years of its existence a year after the last exhibition in the industrial premises of the Vysočina transformer station. More than 200 exhibitions, concerts, performances, graffiti pits, screenings, workshops, theater performances, fashion shows and international festivals of various specializations, together with documentation of coexistence in almost forty studios and changes in the surrounding environment, including the facade, up to a complete comparison of the building with countries. 252 pages capture the atmosphere with photographs and quotes from interviews with residents.

Each of the artists who went through Trafačka during its relatively short history has its space in the book. It is a very diverse constellation of personalities, dealing with various fields such as architecture, painting, drawing, sculpture, video installations, animation, conceptual art, graffiti, street art, urban art, performance, creation of musical instruments, canvas weaving, programming, sound installations, DIY art, etc. Namely Jan Kaláb, Martin Káňa, Jakub Nepraš, David Brudňák, Michal Dvořák, Michal Cimala, Blanka Čermáková, Jana and Vitché, Brad Downey, Hynek Vacek, Honet, Esher, Loomit, Robert Šalanda, Linda Čihařová, Anja Kaumann, Epos 257, Stanley Povoda, Jan Padyšák, Jiří Felcman, Jakub Janovský, Tomáš Bařinka, Adam Stanko, Zasd, Jan Mráz, Jakub Matuška, Světlana Fialová, Dan Vlček, Mario Chromý, Architekti H3T, Jan Vidlička, Petr Horák, Paul Aloisi, Charlie Green, Tereza Greschnerová, Matěj Hájek, Tomáš Skála, Aleš Zemene, Pavel Šebek, Michal Fábera, Veronika Daňhelová, Jan Vlček, Martin Krajc, Jakub Hubálek, Pavel Strachota, Terezie Honsová, Jiří Kaman, Václav Girsa, Darina Alster, Linda Mikolášková, Kateřina Zemene, Jan Zdvořák, Magdalena Nováková, Matěj Olmer, Aleš Brázdil, Martina Chloupa, Tereza Janoušková, Martin Vála, Pavel Šejgunov, Martina Chwistková, Jana Polášková, Milan Kyprý, Michal Pustějovský, Petra Oplatková, Lukáš Ježek, Tomáš Linhart, Yves Degoyon, Pavel Havrda, David Spriggs, Daniel Mach, Carlos No, Rybář, Josefína Jonášová, Michal Kohút, Filip Dvořák, Diamond, Lucamaleonte, Solo, Jagna Dembinska, Vojtěch Adamec, Matěj Hrbek, Jakub Pospíšil, Matěj Šrámek, Leonardo Stroka Ceballos, Anežka Hošková, Ellis Unique, Filip Kovařík, Jan Burgert, Jürgen Gross, Matthias Wermke, Mischa Leinkauf, Petr Brož, Jakub Roztočil, Tom Pazderka, Daniela Kožmínová and others.
