Intersection of the Prague Quadrennial is introduced in Latin America and other European countries

Projects exhibited at the unique architectonic installation called Intersection: Boxes on the piazetta of the National Theatre in June 2011 during the Prague Quadrennial 2011 are successfully touring the world. Viewers of one of the biggest Latin American theatre festivals Santiago and Mil in Chile will have the opportunity to see it in January as well as those in Belgrade, Serbia. Josef Nadj’s Untitled will travel to a festival in Bogota, Columbia and the project The Priestess by Krétakör directed by Arpád Schilling from Hungary was invited to the prestigious Wiener Festwochen.

Many of these activities were negotiated after Intersection in Praguein June when the project attracted the interest of foreign curators and program managers of festivals. Sodja Lotker, the curator and art director of the Prague Quadrennial, says: “The whole project is living its own new life, individual projects are invited to other festivals and events and they are staged in a new context.” The Intersection projects were staged at many European festivals –Bergen,Nitra,Riga, Santarcangel orHelsinki – during summer and autumn 2011 and new invitations prove success of the whole concept which allows its independent continuation in the following years.

The PQ also continues in its publication activities. A new book, where Czech and foreign critics and theoreticians reflect upon the last PQ 2001, is going to be issued in spring 2012.
