“Tranzit-dispatch” is the winning project of the third annual student competition organised by tranzitdisplay. The project is the work of Jan Boháč, Barbora Fastrová, Pavel Jestřáb and Anna Ročňová, all students of The Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM).

The project will run from 28 April to 3 May 2015. It will be officially launched on Tuesday 28 April at 8pm, and there will be a special presentation for the general public at the tranzitdisplay gallery on Sunday 3 May starting at 7pm.

Part of the tranzitdisplay gallery will be transformed into a telephone control room for five days, which will provide useful information on specific exhibitions underway or exhibits to be found in selected galleries and museums.
A gallery visitor will have a unique opportunity to ring to the telephone control room + 420 737 520 614, be connected to a leading Czech art theoretician or curator and ask questions regarding exhibitions currently underway in any gallery.
