Rossocinabro is pleased to present its new exhibition, Diversity Contemporary. This exhibition celebrates artistic diversity and cultural interconnectedness, transcending geographical and stylistic boundaries.
Born from a desire to make a selection of artworks accessible to the public, many of which have never been exhibited or only for brief periods, this show offers a unique opportunity to discover hidden treasures and admire the richness and variety of contemporary artistic production.
Through this exhibition, Rossocinabro reaffirms its commitment to internationalization, a path it has been following since its early years. The aim is to build a bridge between artists from different cultures and to offer the public an increasingly rich and varied artistic experience.
A collection without borders, with a completely different perspective, mirroring an increasingly interconnected world. Artistic boundaries have dissolved with the acceleration of cultural exchange, the mobility of people, and the circulation of information. It has become difficult, if not impossible, to define the boundaries of artworks and the individuals who have made art a universal language. The works on display here are a testament to this: a collection of heterogeneous stimuli that we can recognize as carrying out a certain research, without there being a specific geography or reference style associated with them.
“There is no common denominator, because we haven’t looked for one,” explains the curator and organizer of the exhibition, Joe Hansen. “Therefore, the goal will be to analyze and present the various aspects of contemporary art, highlighting the artistic value linked to the uniqueness and originality of each of the many and equally possible interpretations of the original work.”
We look forward to welcoming you from Monday to Friday, from 11 am to 5pm

About
Miloš Šejn (August 10, 1947 Jablonec nad Nisou, CZ) is a Czech artist, intermedial creator and teacher, whose works are represented in many important collections of modern Czech and world fine art. He belongs to the pioneers of European intermedial and performative work.
He graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy of Charles University in Prague in 1975 (art history and aesthetics – Prof. Petr Wittlich, Doc. Miloš Jůzl, visual arts – Doc. Zdeněk Sýkora). In the years 1975–1989, he worked as a curator at the Gallery of Modern Art in Hradec Králové. Doctorate in philosophy in 1976. In the years 1990–2011, he worked as a head teacher of the intermediate studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and as a guest teacher at academies in Aix-en-Provence, Carrara, The Hague, Ljubljana, Naples, Stuttgart and Vienna. 1991 appointed professor of painting.
He has been working in the fields of visual art and performance since the second half of the 1960s, and since 1995 he has been leading the multidisciplinary research project Bohemiae Rosa on the relationship between body and place. At present, he focuses on immediate creative possibilities, based on the relationship between the historical humanized landscape and holistic nature. He consciously works with the areas of expressive language between text, artistic trace, body movement, voice and expansion into space. The result is photographic series, experimental films, drawings, paintings, objects, graphics, author’s books, scenography, texts, videos, multimedia and sound compositions, installations / architecture and complex bodily or synergistic interventions with the world in their myriad forms. He performs in the form of personal rituals, site-specific projects, theater events, collective realizations and festivals in the Czech Republic and abroad (D, F, FIN, I, IRL, IS, N, NL, PL, SK, SWE…).
One of the layers of his work is referred to in the professional literature as conceptual and post-conceptual art.
His work was presented in an international context through a number of exhibitions and performances, for example at the interdisciplinary Milanopoesia festival in Milan’s Spazio Ansaldo in 1991 or at the body art exhibition L’art au Corps at the MAC museum in Marseille in 1997, in the Czech Republic at the exhibition Faces in Rudolfinum Gallery / Prague in 2012, then as a soloist especially in the ifa Gallery in Berlin in 1995, in the Royal Museum in Uppsala in 2010 or as the parasite project in the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 2013.
Since 1970, his works have been presented in a number of galleries in Europe and overseas, e.g.: Nouveau Théatre and Ville de Luxembourg, ifa Galerie Berlin, Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe, Ludvig Forum für Internationale Kunst Aachen, MAC Musées d’Art Contemporain Marseille, Mücsarnok Budapest, Manggha Museum Kraków, Uppsala Art Museum, Palazzo Grassi Venice, MFAH Museum of Fine Arts Houston, IMA Indianopolis Museum of Art, MoMA PS1 New York, National Gallery in Prague, Moravian Gallery in Brno, DOX Prague, GHMP Prague …In addition to the Czech Republic, he also has permanent or procedural landscape projects in France and Germany.
