OBJECT:PRAHA V : MOMENTUMENT PREMIERES JUNE 14th
Our annual film as part of the OBJECT:PRAHA series will be premiered on Saturday June 14th at the dernisaž of Robert Carrither's Black and White and Read All Over Exhibition at the Urban Spree Gallery in Berlin.
COME ONE COME ALL.
Momentument was a three-week project that happened and then didn't. The objective of the project was to ask & answer...If you could paint a state of mind... Would anyone else understand? And would that be art? Or would it just be a moment?
Community members of lower Žižkov were invited to dress two large blank canvases with whatever media, mediums, and motives at their disposal.
For the second event, we invited them back to place empty picture frames in areas that they thought should be seen. Then, we removed the excess canvas--the context & larger image--and exhibited each of the framed pieces for a vernissage & dernisage of the project. At the end of this final event, people took their framed pieces off the wall, like a memory from the whole: subjective, Individual, and never complete.
The film is an artefact of this project; however, in true OBJECT:PRAHA fashion, we explore the significance of the project in the larger context that is Žižkov and the OBJECT:PARADISE Manifesto. Momentument, too, existing as just a moment in the temporal universe of the Eternal Žižkov.

Join us for a three-part project in an experiment of creation, curation, and the space in-between at the Místečko art space.
This is not a finished exhibition. It will be what it becomes. Join one event, join all, join in whatever way you like–even for just a momentument.
March 8 - party w/ tools
March 14 - party w/ frames
March 22 - party w/ language + sound + action
All events will be happening at the Místečko Art Space in Žižkov.

March 8th: The Crazy Room
Before creation, there is material. Before meaning, there is presence.
Join us with your subjectivity, tools of expression, and make full the emptiness. Dress the blank with us. Express with us & get down with us in the Crazy Room. A space for unfiltered expression—no themes, no assignments, no fixed ideas. Just material, movement, and moment against the blank canvas.
Bring your paints, your pants, your plants, your tools, your texts, your trash, your crayons—whatever it takes to express yourself in the momentument.
No credentials. No outcome. Just process.

March 14th: Finders Keepers
Join us with your subjectivity, your perspective, and find meaning in the crazy. Bring an empty picture frame and place it where it matters (to you). Define the after, the aprés-garde. What’s worth seeing? What disappears? What shifts when you look again?
This is not just curation. This is an act of attention. What we frame, what we ignore, what we let stand.
Curation is part of the process. You’re not just looking. You’re deciding what’s worth looking at.
But srsly – bring your own picture frame. Hang it. And show us what you see.

2024 - a year of zines, trains, cables, and resistance. Read about our year in review.
2024—our year of trains, zines, cables, and resistance—closes with hands softened & spirits sharpened. From the smoky haze of Košice to the backrooms of Krakow, the streets of Lviv to the gardens of Žižkov, we found ourselves tangled in the ecstasy of creation and defiance.
We’ll carry yr voices in our back pockets, your stories folded into our manifesto, and yr resilience tattooed on the insides of our eyelobes. 2025—come at us sideways. We’ll meet you at the potraviny to fly flags and make noise.

French Premiere: Existence is Resistance
OBJECT:PARADISE’s latest film Existence is Resistance will be screened at the Reours D’Ukraine festival in Perpignan, France on November 27th, 2024.
Facebook event link︎
Exposition de Barbara Le Béguec Friedman :
“J’ai rencontré l’Ukraine il y a 5 ans maintenant, Lviv plus particulièrement. Il y a des endroits qui vous paraissent familiers, où vous vous sentez étrangement bien, “à la maison”... ce fut le cas pour moi là bas. Ces 5 dernières années, je partage mon temps entre Perpignan, mes voyages et Lviv.
Le 24 février 2022, l’invasion à grande échelle du pays par la russie a plongé les ukrainiens dans une multitude de douleurs abyssales, les horreurs de la guerre n’épargnent personne, mais je peux aussi témoigner de la force de survie et de vie de mes amis là-bas.
Pour l’exposition Retours d’Ukraine je pose et partage quelques sensations et expériences ramenées dans mes valises...”
Projection :
Retours d’Ukraine est une exposition particulière, ne pouvant être détachée de son contexte. Le vernissage de l’exposition sera accompagné de la projection du film Existence is Resistence un documentaire expérimental tourné à Lviv, réalisé par Tyko Say (Tchéquie) et Sandra Pasławska (Pologne) qui examine le rôle de la culture comme forme de résistance.
Discussion avec Yaryna Shumska, artiste et curatrice ukrainienne qui vit et travaille à Lviv.
Engagée dans la diffusion de la culture ukrainienne en Ukraine et à travers le monde, elle sera présente en direct de Lviv pour témoigner de son expérience et échanger sur la vie culturelle et artistique dans le contexte actuel.
Pour contrer un sentiment de frustration ou d’impuissance, le récurrent “mais qu’est ce qu’on peut faire”, tous les bénéfices liés aux ventes d'œuvres et à la projection du film seront utilisés pour l’achat de matériel de création ou de survie au Département d’Art Contemporain de l'Académie Nationale des Arts de Lviv, par l’intermédiaire de Mykhaylo Barabash - artiste et enseignant.

Czech Premiere: Existence is Resistance [film]
Existence is Resistance is an experimental documentary that delves into the role of culture as a form of resistance in Ukraine during the ongoing full-scale Russian invasion. Directed by Tyko Say and Sandra Pasławska, the film highlights how culture, activism, and collective expression have become vital in preserving the momentum to resist amidst the destruction of war.
Filmed entirely in the historic city of Lviv, the documentary captures the stories of artists, curators, musicians, and activists who are using culture as a tool for resistance. From performance festivals to underground punk shows, Existence is Resistance explores the many ways that existence and resistance intertwine in times of crisis.
