On The Trail Of Brotherhood




[the Data Stream is delighted to again highlight an exhibition in the North Oakland Temporary Museum, a brilliant project by curator artist writer Scott MacLeod.]


NORTH OAKLAND TEMPORARY MUSEUM

"An online & sometimes offline museum presenting modern & contemporary work from the 20th & 21st centuries."

Jíří Kalousek: On the Trail of Brotherhood


"This month's exhibit features images scanned from a travel journal made by my friend Jakub Kalousek's father Jíří (George) in 1953. These watercolours depict scenes from a hike/walk taken by Jíří, his wife Milena & their friend Ludya through then-exotic forests & villages of far-eastern Czechoslovakia and Hungary. I think these images are charming because even from this temporal distance they offer immediacy rather than nostalgia."
