Anna Hulačová at Each Place Its Own Mind

Edel Assanti presents Each Place Its Own Mind (17 January - 15 March 2025), featuring Czech artist Anna Hulačová among eight international artists. Hulačová's innovative work bridges ecological themes with artistic experimentation, offering a profound meditation on humanity’s bond with nature.

Hulačová contributes a series of striking concrete busts with honeycomb interiors, created in collaboration with bees during their swarming season. These sculptures symbolize the ancient interconnection between humans and bees, evoking a hybrid organism that reflects the porous relationship between body and consciousness. The pieces embody the exhibition’s theme of interwoven experiences across species, exploring the shared psyche of all beings inhabiting a place.

Each Place Its Own Mind engages with ideas from David Abram’s The Spell of the Sensuous (1996), reimagining humanity’s relationship with the natural world. It showcases an interdisciplinary mix of drawing, sculpture, film, and installation, addressing ecological, cultural, and ancestral narratives. Alongside Hulačová’s work, the exhibition includes pieces by Mirtha Dermisache, Noémie Goudal, Sky Hopinka, and others, fostering a dialogue about the enchantment of the world and the interconnected web of existence.

The exhibition opens with a private view on 16 January 2025, from 6-8 pm.

Anna Hulačová (b. 1984, Sušice, Czech Republic) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague (2012). She lives and works in Prague. Her work has been shown internationally, including at the National Gallery, Prague, Czech Republic; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; Baltic Triennial, Vilnius, Lithuania; Meyer Riegger, Berlin, Germany; and the Louis Vuitton Foundation, Paris, France.

Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 11am - 6pm
