Stezka odvahy Trail of courage At the occasion of the congress held in Rome in 1936 Le Corbusier described architectural walk as a means to experience architecture. Through a walk we gain from the architecture a feeling which is mediated by shock. (Le Corbusier, Conferenza alle Reale Academia d Italia, Roma 1936). The project The Path of Courage aims at artistic capture of today s urbanization of Psáry and Dolní Jirčany and related phenomena which represent, as models, a significant part of the social turnover in the Czech Republic after 1989. The Path of Courage is formed by a net of twelve educational points connecting the original core of the municipality to the new structured areas of development that have been chosen for their standardized settlement character. The aim of mapping of the conrete context and situation of the municipality through information boards on publicly accessible places is mainly a revival of the possibility of broader social dialogue and confrontation of theory with everyday reality. The content of the information boards is therefore an informational description of the problems of suburban areas, planning of their development, and structure through technical texts that are normally not a part of public space, yet they represent a great potential for securing sustainable development of the whole society.

17 bodů instalace, různé materiály, 4 autoři Galerie Armaturka, Konečně spolu, 2011 17 points installation, various materials, 4 artists Armaturka Gallery, Finally together, 2011
The project entitled 17 Points thematizes the possibilities of cooperation and limits of installation within a collective exhibition. Its objective was to create an object consisting of four author s components that were born separately and without the awareness of the shape or size of the others work. The connection piece, which received most points among other proposals in a democratic vote (in our case, it was a double-sided screw), became the material and only formal criterion of connecting the joint artifact on the day of the exhibition opening. Projekt s názvem 17 bodů tématizuje možnosti kooperativní spolupráce a limity instalace v rámci kolektivní výstavy. Jeho cílem bylo vytvoření objektu složeného ze čtyř autorských (Matěj Al-Ali, Tomáš Moravec, Petr Dub, Jana Bernartová) komponentů, jež vznikaly odděleně a bez bez vědomí o tvaru či velikosti díla druhých. Spojka, jež v demokratickém hlasování obdržela nejvíce bodů mezi ostatními návrhy (v našem případě oboustranný vrut), se stala materiálním a jediným formálním kritériem propojení společného artefaktu v den zahájení výstavy Konečně spolu.
