SUMMARY:'Breathing' with 'Breaths - Air Bladders'
DESCRIPTION:Filomena Borecká’s captivating artwork Breaths – Air Bladders invites visitors to experience the shared act of breathing and reflect on our interconnection with the living world. \nSparked by the global awareness of breath during the COVID-19 pandemic\, and blending art\, science and sensorial experience\, the exhibition curated by Judith Rainhorn and Charles-Antoine Wanecq explores the cultural\, social\, and scientific histories of respiration from the 18th century to today. Drawing on the outcomes of two interdisciplinary workshops\, it brings together perspectives from historians\, scientists\, artists\, and healthcare professionals. Central to the exhibition is Borecká’s participatory sculpture Breaths – Air Bladders\,which transforms a fundamental act of life into a sensorial\, collective\, and thought-provoking experience. \nFilomena Borecká is an artist and researcher\, PhD (University Paris 1 Panthéon–Sorbonne\, 2023)\, and graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (2004)\, with an exchange at MFA Hunter College in New York. She works primarily in France but has also created in Prague and New York\, with each place leaving its imprint on her practice\, which unfolds in three parallel and interrelated threads: performance\, (sound) sculpture\, and drawing. Her drawings\, reminiscent of seismographs\, engage in a dialogue with their environment. Recent exhibitions include Maison française d’Oxford\, National Gallery Prague\, CACLB Luxembourg\, Círculo de Bellas Artes Madrid\, and Queens College Art Center New York. Borecká collaborates with the Chair in Health in Human and Social Sciences and with the ACTE Institute at Sorbonne University Paris 1. \nBreaths – Air Bladders\nFor several years\, Filomena Borecká has created artworks that invite connection and reflection on what sustains life: the invisible air. Breaths – Air Bladders\, co-created with set designer Bruno Dubois\, comes alive in the presence of viewers as air-filled forms expand and contract. The work draws on a childhood memory from Christmas Eve: while preparing carp\, Borecká recalls seeing two irregular air bladders — organs that help the fish float and\, in a child’s imagination\, embody its “soul.” This memory anchors an artwork that explores breath as both literal and metaphorical\, a vital rhythm binding us to each other and to the living world we share. \n\nEXHIBITION OPENING\nFriday 31 October 2025\, 6 – 7.30 pm  \nFree entry\, REGISTER NOW\nJoint Private View with Silent Systems: Breathing Devices\nEXHIBITION DATES: 31 October 2025 – 16 January 2026\nVENUE\nBouda Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n132 Palace Gardens Terrace\, London W8 4RT\nOPENING HOURS:\nTue – Fri 10am – 5pm\n\nImage: ‘Breaths – Air Bladders’\, Filomena Borecká\, photo Bruno Dubois

SUMMARY:The Sun Can Be: An IPLA Collective Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Sun Can Be: an IPLA collective exhibition\, showcases the works of four young British-based poets operating in the fields of visual poetry\, experimental textual poetry\, text art\, and the asemic. \n\nThe works of the exhibition range from multimedia poetry\, self-portraiture\, and 3D poetry to typewriter art\, lino print\, and a prose-puzzle poem series exhibiting material\, form and method as conveyors of shifting\, alternate realities. From a triptych of calligrams that echo the Surrealism of Guillaume Apollinaire to a series of text art pieces\, to conceptual poetry that reinterprets perspective. The Sun Can Be expands on these themes through unconventional and diversified aesthetics that redefine traditional poetry\, and serves as a translation of the artistic intentions of the IPLA poets. \nhttps://inparentheses.cargo.site | Instagram \nIPLA Artists\nCameron Wade\nCameron Wade is a writer and poet based in London. His work explores the nature of storytelling\, the relationship between inner and outer realities\, non-linear storytelling\, and themes of madness\, ‘other’-spaces\, the eerie and the weird; experimenting with ergodic literature and meta-textuality through fiction\, prose-poetry\, visual and asemic poetry\, collage and performance. \nDanica Ignacio\nDanica Ignacio is a Filipino poet whose writing focuses on the juxtaposition of the ordinary and the non-ordinary by giving importance to the small. Mainly taking from more traditional forms of poetry\, her work aims to morph the everyday experience just enough to be unrecognisable while still maintaining its form. \nEleanor Wilders\nEleanor Wilders finds inspiration from the ignored details of routine and from the in-betweens of the everyday experience\, she crafts stories that question our assumptions about connection\, purpose\, and freedom. Her artistic practice leads to an exploration of exposure in today’s society; her work tries to confront the paradox of vulnerability in an age of hyper-connectivity\, whilst grappling with the tension between authenticity and public persona. \nMatthew Sokulsky\nMatthew Sokulsky is concerned with the tense relationship between nature and rational\, theology and logic\, and their ability (or not) to co-exist in the contemporary. His work experiments with traditional forms to create decidedly new poetry that at once exemplifies modernity while recognising the rich vein of myth and ritual to which he believes all poetry fixes its base. \n\nOpening hours:\nThe gallery will be opened to the public 12 noon to 5pm every Wednesday to Saturday \nOpening Night and Special View\nSaturday 9 August 2025\, 7-9pm / Bouda Gallery\nThe exhibition opens on 9 August with a special event featuring Tim Postovit\, a Czech poet\, performer\, and translator of Ukrainian origin. \nCelebrating cross-culture collaboration and international innovation the event will also include live performances by David Spittle\, Aimae Nimmo\, Matthew Sokulsky\, Danica Ignacio\, Eleanor Wilders\, Cameron Wade and many more to be announced. \nAbout Tom Postovit\nTim Postovit was born in Ukraine and has lived in the Czech Republic since the age of six. He studied philology at Charles University in Prague. He translates from Ukrainian and Russian. In 2019\, he published his debut collection of poems\, Magistrála (Highway). A poem from this book has been featured in the annual Best Czech Poetry anthology. He also performs slam poetry and holds the 2019 joint title for duo slam poetry. In 2021\, his second poetry collection came-out Motýlí pavilon (The Butterfly Pavilion). In 2022\, he was nominated for Václav Burian Prize. From 2022\, he has worked at Organization for Aid to Refugees (OPU) as a social worker for Ukrainian community. He is a member of a Czech Writers Association. He is based in Prague. \nIPLA and Friends.\nThursday August 14\, 2025\, 7-9pm / Bouda Gallery\nAn evening of experimental performance and readings from the IPLA Collective\, Simon Tyrell\, Irys Bird\, Oscar Sutherland-Dee\, Martin Wakefield and more to be announced! \nThe second event in the series features an array of bespoke new readings and performances including a world-first IPLA collaborative performance and poets travelling from across the country to read their brilliant new works for you at the historic Bouda Gallery. \nFurther accompanying events: \n\nAugust 16th\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 21st\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 23rd\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 28th\, 7 – 9 pm\nAugust 30th\, 7 – 9 pm\n\nThe Sun Can Be\, an exhibition by IPLA Collective\, is the Czech Centre’s Summer Artistic Residency — a pilot project offering a safe and supportive space for local artists and the community.

SUMMARY:Poet Peasant: an exhibition by SJ Fowler
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of poetry as curios\, discovered text and found literary sculptures drawn from previously unseen works\, selected asemic writing and the poetic props of performances across the globe. Drawing from fifteen years of rabid activity\, this exhibition evidences the breadth of visual and conceptual poetry from one of the definitive experimentalists of the British 21st-century literary scene. \n\nOn the site of the former Notting Hill Books\, a formative space for many\, including Fowler\, this exhibition emphasises the potential of the marginal\, peculiar\, detritus-as-poetry mode so removed from the medium’s stereotypical obsession with neatness\, craft\, and clarity. From bear suits to homemade skeletons\, handwritten novels to concrete poems\, Poet Peasant represents the core aesthetic concerns of SJ Fowler – playful\, eclectic and anti-singular\, it is a deliberate mess of fun and weird visual literature that stretches the bounds of what poetry is. \nwww.stevenjfowler.com/poetpeasant \nSJ Fowler is a writer\, poet and performer who lives in London. His work has been commissioned by The National Gallery\, Tate Modern\, BBC Radio 3\, Somerset House\, Tate Britain\, Southbank Centre and he was part of the first Hub residency at Wellcome Collection. His visual poetry has been exhibited at the V&A\, Hayward Gallery\, Jerwood Space\, Mile End Art Pavilion\, Kielder Forest\, Tate St Ives and Palais de Tokyo. He has published over 50 works\, the subject of the Small Publishers Fair 2022 feature exhibition and given over 400 performances at venues around the world. He lecturer at Kingston University and is the director of the European Poetry Festival. Poet Peasant … is his 8th solo exhibition. \nOpening hours:\nThe gallery will be opened to the public 12 noon to 5pm every Wednesday to Saturday \nAccompanying events:\nJuly 19th\, July 24th July 26th\, July 31st\, August 2nd 7pm – 9pm.
