Red Check 

In relation to the beatnik generation, its nomadic lifestyle, and non-conformist public reading of poems, Jana Orlová reflected on her recent experience of living in Canada. For her performance, she chose the ugliest part of the gallery – a parking lot with a large concrete block. She performed with a hat from the Quebec Museum of Fine Arts with the motto „L’art dans ma vie“ and a backpack, which was her only luggage for her two-month stay overseas. She also used red wine, a face mask, and white sage in her performance as a tribute to Canada’s indigenous people. She read a selection of her poems relating to the artist’s nomadic lifestyle.
