Among the thirty-or-so participating artists are laureates of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award, as well as a number of other prize-winning artists who exhibit domestically and abroad. The collaborative pairs, each composed of an artist and an inmate, include names likeMichal Pěchouček,Jiří Franta,David Böhm,Pavel Sterec,Filip Cenek,Eva Koťátková,Pasta OnerandJaromír 99.They have created works of art that arise from contemporary artistic trends.
