In 28th episode of the HIDDEN podcast features Barbora Dayef, a visual artist from Prague. The focus of this conversation was mainly on her interest in ancient cultures, which also led us to discuss conspiracy theories, particularly regarding the use of Baghdad batteries. We also talked about her diploma work, which was exhibited at the HuntKastner gallery, as well as many of her other exhibitions.

Aleš Zapletal, a visual artist and new teacher at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, discussed his views on philosophy, his love for water, and his recent adventures exploring eels, deltas, and even searching for witches. We also talked about his collaborations with curators, their importance, and what is the concept of the Painting II studio at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts where he teaches. - This conversation is in Czech.

We discussed various aspects, for example, the importance of criticism for both students and the academy itself. Additionally, we touched upon her friendship with Paulina Ołowska.

In the latest podcast in the 25th episode of the HIDDEN podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Czech painter Jan Vytiska. We traced his life journey, starting from his birth in Prague through Valašské Meziříčí, Ostrava and his current location back in Prague. From his love for audiobooks to his favorite, Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" we explored diverse interests. Whether he prefers the Apollonian or Dionysian principle, where he goes swimming, or perhaps how much he drank on Friday night.

In the #24 podcast episode we return to Czech artists after a one-year break. That's why we visited Filip Kůrka's studio, where we discussed his experience of a two-hour lecture on feminism or his studies at Erasmus in London. Filip also reveals his relationship with hunting and how he became the owner of 600 deer skulls. We will also mention his legendary 3 day party in the studio coupled with a BDSM performance. We end the podcast with the names of the artists Filip has paintings from at home.
