It was a pleasure to take part in the pop-up exhibition at the Veolia premises in Ostrava (3-12/2025). The collaboration with Artist’s Hero and its founder Marek Jakůbek was highly professional in every aspect – from transport and installation to the presentation of the exhibition. I would like to thank Marek for the friendly dialogue and Bára Alex Kašparová for the curation. I wish Artist’s Hero the best of luck with their future projects!

In my opinion, Artist’s Hero is a very successful project for several reasons. It is the first platform that has focused from the very beginning on one clear goal – connecting contemporary art with the corporate world. This has been attempted in the Prague art scene in the past, but it was always more of a supplementary activity. Artist’s Hero has a clearly defined vision and has been conscientiously fulfilling it from the start. A great value lies in the high-quality curatorial oversight and accompanying program in the form of private vernissages and guided tours – so it is not just a transactional business of the “we’ll hang some paintings in your office and you pay” type. I appreciate that the entire concept is comprehensive, always deliberate, and thereby genuinely cultivates the commercial sector. In my experience, no one else has managed to do this so consistently yet. Moreover, the cooperation with all participants is highly professional while remaining pleasantly friendly.

The open call by Artist's Hero to participate in a competition for a sculpture in the atrium of the Kasselbauer residence in the center of Bratislava marked the beginning of my journey toward my first permanently installed public sculpture. At the same time, this commission was an important milestone in the evolution of my own work. From the initial vision, through refining the model and technical preparation, all the way to execution, it was a complex project and creative collaboration for which I am grateful, and one that brought advancement to both parties—myself personally and the developer Proxenta.
