Audio performance of an international collective of sound artists, specifically performed in the site specific context of GAMPA in Automatic mills.

Open workshop for children and their parents or grandparents. A space to meet, have fun and learn.

Guided tour through the Mill Island exhibition with Dorota Václavíková, an artist and one of the members of the production collective of the entire project. During the walk, you will learn, among other things, how the project was created, what it deals with and how the individual exhibiting artists worked together.

Workshop for creative elderlies. Our motto is: age is just a number.

A weekend workshop (not only) for children, but also for their parents and other adults who are not afraid to explore the corners and possibilities of contemporary art and themselves.

Urban game with a German art collective Graffitimuseum. This game is not played at the table, but in the urban space, through which the players move. The playing field is the streets of the city covered with graffiti. 

GAMPA is closed to the public from December 24, 2023 to January 2, 2024. We look forward to seeing you in the new year!

An interactive workshop using drama techniques to explore philosophical questions about animals, humans, our intuitions and our creativity.

Have you ever flown by plane? How did it feel? Come and assemble a paper airplane with us. Do you know how to make it fly as far as possible? Our planes will be used to send secret messages. At the end, there will be an air race, which will take place from 4.30pm on the piazzeta in front of the gallery.

In between exhibitions, GAMPA becomes, among other things, a refuge for short-term art projects and performances. The creative meeting of two improvisers with two very different approaches to live electronic music is one such temporary intervention. Petr Vrba is a tireless explorer of non-idiomatic improvisation using trumpets, clarinets, synthesizers, DIY electronics or vibrating speakers. Mathieu Chamagne develops interactive devices, explores and questions the meaning and role of the musical space in the interpretation of electronic music, blurring the boundaries between composition, interpretation and improvisation. His interactive installation Apertures, which he will bring with him to Pardubice, is both an object and a non-haptic sound instrument working with gestures. Their approaches, instruments and the gallery space meet in this unique performance.
