The quality, total and variety of the works will be made accessible for a longer term through the czech_in homepage which will be updated regularly.
Currently the roll of cultures is about to undergo a change in the current global basic conditions.
A great number of artistic and cultural confrontation of the past years concerned reference values like national identity / cultural identity / what is native or alien.

czech_in takes position in these questions and works together with various Czech centres for culture, galleries and collectives of artists on transcultural intersections.
The preparation of the czech_in project involved visits to Czechia as well as counter-visits to Linz.
Getting to know each other provides a good basis for a continual development of a network between arts institutions, artists and curators in both countries.

Starting from those four people contact was established to the artists who will develop and present works in the four blocks that have been arranged.
