Ten years ago, Zbyněk Sedláček (* 20.6.1966 - † 20.3.2014) passed away prematurely. As a memory of his personality, the Loun City Gallery prepared a symbolic collective exhibition of ten authors whom Zbyněk liked and wrote about. Zbyněk Sedláček was and with his texts remains an extraordinary personality integrating interdisciplinary and intertemporal contexts in his treatises, reflections and studies on visual arts. He organized a large number of exhibitions, published a number of studies, articles, reviews, etc. His texts remained in individual catalogs, catalog sheets, magazines, newspapers, monographs, conference proceedings. This exhibition is a reminder not only of his unrelenting interest in visual arts, but also of the importance of visual arts as such in both public and private spaces. We also thank Mrs. Jiřina Sedláčková for her hospitality and support.  (Vladimir Drápal)
