Why 27 seconds is not enough
The publication Why 27 Seconds Are Not Enough focuses on a current phenomenon in the Czech gallery environment, the so-called educational gallery. It is a type of gallery space that offers a comprehensive dramaturgical, spatial and organizational offer to visitors. It does not divide the gallery space into an exhibition space and a space for accompanying programs (studios), but combines it (physically, mentally) into a unifying whole.
This type of gallery space solution has been gradually appearing in our country over the past five years. Its form is most significantly tested by the Atrium Gallery, which has implemented ten exhibition projects during this period. However, a similar approach can also be traced in the approach of other gallery institutions or in the work of individual artists, whom the publication is intended to mention.
The publication is to consist of texts by leading theorists of the Czech art scene with a relationship to teaching work and the educational environment, but also interviews with other actors who participate in the form of the gallery environment understood in this way (exhibition architect, author of educational materials, director of the institution, etc.)
