✨ When art travels, Barrisol® goes along for the ride!
After Venice, we’re heading to Prague, in the Czech Republic, where artists Barbora Šlapetová and Lukáš Rittstein will present their monumental installation *Jak se dotknout nebe* (“How to Touch the Sky”) from October 5 to 18, 2026, in front of the Palace of Industry.
This marks a new milestone in the artistic collaboration we’ve been fostering for many years with these two Czech artists.
🌍 A meeting of two worlds
For nearly 30 years, Barbora Šlapetová and Lukáš Rittstein have been exploring the connections between the indigenous communities of West Papua and our contemporary civilization.
Their travels and encounters have given rise to a unique artistic universe where ancestral traditions, myths, technologies, and space exploration intersect.
Their work particularly examines our relationship with the sky, the unknown, and the encounter between cultures that seem to be polar opposites.
Throughout our collaborations, we have supported the creation of numerous works blending sculpture, architecture, and scenography.
For this exhibition, the two sculptural cars, the figures, and the monumental dome all feature Barrisol® fabrics.
These creations, with their complex geometries, showcase the full creative freedom offered by our solutions, which are capable of conforming to particularly ambitious three-dimensional forms.
Beyond their design possibilities, our canvases also serve as excellent surfaces for video projections.
Their smooth, uniform surface is ideal for displaying images, animations, and large-scale projections, transforming the structures into true canvases for visual expression.
This is a particularly interesting feature for the works of Barbora Šlapetová and Lukáš Rittstein, who combine sculpture, film, animation, and architecture to create immersive experiences.
♻️ Works Designed to Travel
One of the major advantages of our solutions is their ability to be disassembled, transported, and then reassembled.
This is particularly valuable for traveling exhibitions: the structures and membranes can be reused and adapted to new venues without having to systematically recreate the artworks.
From Venice to Prague, this modularity helps extend the lifespan of the art installations while minimizing the need for new materials.
👏 A big thank you to Barbora Šlapetová and Lukáš Rittstein for their continued trust over the years, as well as to CS Lyon Praha and all the teams involved in bringing these exceptional works to life.
