Jessica Serran

Jessica Serran is a Canadian artist, fascinated by the unseen, the unheard and the unspoken - and she is currently having an Art exhibition at the Bĕhal Fejér Institute (651/8 Pevnostni Praha 6 - near Dejvická metro station)

Jessica is looking into the Czech psyche through 10 paintings that are a visual maps of conversations she had with Czech people. She defines herself as a "Psycho-cartographer". More or less like Andrew Park from the "RSA Animate project".

It certainly is interesting to see through these paintings, how Jessica perceives cultural differences, and trace patterns, and behavior that are in a way typical for the Czech. I don't think there was a Golem though.


The initial opening was 23.5.2013 but there will be other date : 6, 9, 10, 13 , 22 and 23 in June.

Expat Expo 2010 - (the Golem's review)

Last saturday (25-09-2010) I went for the first time to the Expat Expo (it's apparently the second time such expo is taking place) - I took the photo on the left.

As usual in such Expo, lots of people, lots of noise, and many (free) seminars to follow in 4 rooms. Unfortunately I missed the seminar delivered by the Prague Post on the The Changing Face of Journalism but followed one on mental toughness, quite funny actually they were showing a software able to measure an individual's level of stress.

The exhibitors stands were always busy, and there was activities for the whole family with a large place dedicated for kids. Everybody was speaking in English, I actually didn't hear any Czech, it was strange.

It was nice to be there, and I hope there will be another one next year.
