STARTING FROM 2003 CZECH AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS HAVE BEEN INVITED TO STAY AT TŘEBEŠICE, IN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP RESIDENCES, FOR A FEW WEEKS OR SOME MONTHS, TO CREATE ARTWORKS AND SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS. WE BELIEVE CONTEMPORARY ART IS THE BEST WAY TO BRING BACK NEW LIFE AND NEW SENSE TO OLD BUILDINGS WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE EMPTY BY RECENT HISTORY AND AIMLESS BY THE CHANGES IN AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES. AT THE SAME TIME, CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS APPRECIATE THE CHANCE OF CREATING ARTWORKS IN A CONTEXT WHICH IS NOT AN ANONIMOUS „WHITE CUBE“, DISCONNECTED FROM ALL OUTSIDE REALITY, BUT ITS VERY OPPOSITE: A CONCRETE SPACE, WITH A COMPLEX, SOMETIMES TRAGIC HISTORY, RESOUNDING OF THE MEMORIES AND FULL OF THE TRACES OF MANY GENERATIONS BEFORE OURS.

THE ART COLLECTION AT TŘEBEŠICE IS ALWAYS GROWING AND THERE ARE ALREADY APROX. 80 ARTWORKS ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC INSIDE THE CASTLE AND IN THE GARDENS. MORE ARTWORKS ARE IN STORAGE AND WILL BE DISPLAYED IN SOME OF THE OUTBUILDINGS, AFTER THEIR RENOVATION. SOME PHOTOS OF THE ARTWORKS CAN BE VIEWED HERE.
