Vladimír Franz
It is good to have a control of space, it is good to steal appricots
in a strange countryside. The grass rolls over the Pálava region,
vultures circle above Mikulov lime rocks.And it is thrilling to
organize stag-beetle fights on a freshly coated canvas in the horse
riding hall being assisted by antique – like cakes = sculptures
in the woods.
And as everybody drinks beer in a vineyard region, it is amazing
to manage the space which even a disciple of a baroque altar master
wouldn‘t be frightened with.
Jan Pospíšil
At first art theorists‘ reproach spoke about a lack of concept.
But we aimed at catching the feeeling and mood of the certain time
and place.
But their later reaction is a proof that we might have managed it.

The main organizer and the good spirit of the venue was Mr. Jan
Pospíšil, a painter, who, being a wilful fellow, managed to muster
the event again. With a bit of exaggeration we may say that his
original idea arose from the true meaning of the Greek word "Symposion“,
which means a witty, bright dialogue during and after a feast, rather
than from a goal to trace strictly the contemporary trends, the
art streams or to put ahead some binding topics for each year of
the symposium.
