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.

How to Build a Universe



Challenging time

The current time is filled with new challenges, it's in the air. We live in a time of transition, and we have this choice either to accept the change or to resist the upcoming evolution.

Nothing can be certain, and nothing ever was held as the truth unanimously recognized as such. The fact is there is probably not such thing as an Universal truth - only fragments the each and every one of us hold as their truth.

But there is change and change has always been the modus operandi of this Universe. Nothing is set, everything evolve, update, transform, ...

Laws and Order

Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.

Change is something already occurring, people are awakening in mass ; and start to question "what is reality ?" in fact simple things that we always took for granted, start to amaze people, to mesmerize their interests, why do we have to live like we are never going to die ? why do we pretend to like jobs we don't like ? why have I never stopped and look inside for what I always wanted to do with my life ?

What if we are the creator of our own reality ?
How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later: Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.
