Bazaar’che
An exhibition featuring work by students from the Department
of Site-Specific Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
Bazaar’che
is an international art project bringing together students and educators from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, the École
des Beaux-Arts de Paris, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the Faculty of Arts at the Technical University of Košice.
Developed as part of the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) and hosted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Intermedia
2), the project creates a space for collaboration, the exchange of experiences, and collective artistic practice across geographical,
cultural, and artistic contexts.
Following several months of international collaboration, the project culminates
in an exhibition at the Galerie AVU in Prague. For the duration of the exhibition, the gallery becomes a small marketplace
of artistic approaches—a place where remote connections turn into physical encounters. The title Bazaar’che derives from the
Persian word bāzārče, meaning “small bazaar” or “small marketplace.” Within the context of the project, it refers to a temporary
space of encounter and exchange where not only objects circulate, but also ideas, experiences, working methods, images, and
different perspectives. The bazaar serves as a metaphor for a situation in which everyone brings something of their own while
remaining open to what others have to offer. Exchange thus becomes more than the movement of things; it becomes a process
of mutual influence, negotiation, and transformation.
