Let's create the 1st European gallery of holotropic art! Our long-standing project Holotropic ART now has a new goal.

A cultural and social centre building on the genius loci of the original Holasic settlement in the premises of the cultural monument of the historic Baroque granary, formerly belonging to the Princes of Liechtenstein.

The gallery will be built in the premises of a baroque granary, it will have 4 floors and more than 1000 m2 of exhibition space. In addition to the exhibition space, there will be a conference hall, a café, studios, accommodation and study rooms.

Part of the exhibition space will be dedicated to audiovisual works of NFT art, making the Granary one of the few galleries in the world dedicated to this modern way of creating and presenting digital art. 

The Granary is only 4 km away from the Holos Centre in Vlaštovičky and both spaces will together enable art stays and retreats inspired by holotropic states of consciousness.

Holotropic art is artistic expression or creation that occurs during or after various types of holotropic states of consciousness. It emerges from deeper layers of consciousness and has transformative and integrative effects not only on the creator, but also on those who interact with the work. It can include various forms of artistic expression, such as painting, drawing, music, literature, or even performance art, which arise as expressions of deeper emotional or spiritual experiences that people have during holotropic states of consciousness (e.g., Grof breathwork, psychedelic sessions, spontaneously during a psychospiritual crisis, etc.). (Hrabánek, 1997)

In the past years, the Holotropic ART project has involved prominent artists from the Czech Republic and the world, such as H. R. Giger, Martina Hoffmann, Stanislav and Brigitte Grof, Roman Erben, Otto Placht, Zdeněk Hajný and many others.

We have partnered with psynft.xyz, a community of over 170 visionary artists from around the world. They sell their works using NFT technology. Alex Grey, Android Jones, Boris Pelcer, Chris Dyer, Luke Brown, Fabian Jimenez, Silvio Vieira and Tas Visuals are among the most well-known members. The only Czech member is Filip Záruba, who will be in charge of the NFT section in Sypka.

Since NFT works are primarily created digitally, and often include animations with original music, new ways of presenting works are offered, such as on high-resolution screens, using video projectors, or in hall of mirrors, where the work fully surrounds and immerses you.

We have repeatedly presented Holotropic Art also at the Prague Crossroads, under the auspices of the Dagmar and Václav Havel Foundation VIZE97, with the participation of Mrs. Dagmar Havlová and Stanislav Grof.
