In 1997 and 1998, the Foundation and Center for Contemporary Art Prague organized the two-part exhibition entitled "Art Work in Public Spaces". The aim of the exhibition was to bridge the gap between the general public and the contemporary art world - to interconnect their more or less separate worlds - by taking works of art out of the closed space of galleries and museums to address a wider audience, in their everyday environment.

The project expresed the interest of CCA Prague about an social impact of contemporary art and its success resulted in other CCA Prague public art activities.

Prokop Valley and Dalej Valley in Prague

Art and Landscape/Nature. The goal of the project, which began as an organic fusion of activities of various local and international institutions and individuals (nature preservation activists, town administrators, artists), is to show that the relationship between mankind, nature and the landscape is something of value to be reflected upon, respected and explored. This is of particular importance in today's world, where man has such enormous technical possibilities to change the character of the landscape.

Running Space (installation)

Artist: Rudolf Härdi (Switzerland)

The Concept of the installation Running Space by Swiss sculptor Rudy Härdi is large variable structure, constructed from oak logs interconnected by steel bolts. The Sculpture is always adapted to the given environment and the artist changes the scale and settings. The wooden structure creates interesting contrast towards the specific natural and architectural context and by this challenges the visual situation of the location.
