Artistic collective dreaming of an attic

email: seahorse.attic@gmail.com

We (Kirstine, Mara, Michal, Ping, Sai and Eszter) were taking care of Cross Attic, an artistic venue 129 steps up in the sky in Prague 7 in its last chapter before it closed its doors in November 2024.

With Cross Attic gone (the place that was our core inspiration and subject) we are currently facing a million questions about the future of our little collective. For example: are we a collective? One thing that is clear to us is that we really want to be! The 6 of us connected over a mutual curiosity and care towards the Attic (and a shared history from our studies at DAMU in the MA DOT program) Our collaboration is rooted in a site-specific sensibility and interest in objects and their stories that we wish to further explore in the future.

our collective started in a dusty, dreamy, cozy attic in Prague 2024. Cross Attic had been our secret playground, an artistic nest 129 stairs above the ground for a year, until the space was closed, and our next nomadic chapter began..

Eszter Koncz

Eszter Koncz is an interdisciplinary artist from Hungary observing, mapping, and making objects with a strong visual focus. Currently a nomad, traveling across Europe with a backpack, measuring miles and time in yarn. 🧶

In the attic she is the one who loves calendars and planning ahead the most. But her main responsibilitiy is creating graphic design and trying to conlude our activity in texts and pictures for communication, for social media, newsletters etc

Michał Salwiński

Michał is the one who arrived to the attic first, and as his first move invited us all to join him. His specialty is hosting gatherings and making sure, they are epic and magical.

Mara Ingea

Mara Ingea is






In the attic Mara has the best sense of how things should be organised in the space. She is the inventor and master of the communication technique called "whispering" (inviting people to events by personal connections& conversations) but she is also great at responding to emails and beats all of us in chess.

En Ping Yu

Sai

Kirstine Hupfeldt Nielsen

En Ping Yu is








In the attic Ping is the one who holds the ballance, the grounded one whose advice is always the sanest. She is great at forming new connections intiating collaborations with fellow artists.

Sai is






Sai is the master of snacks. She is the one who considers every pracitcal detail when we organise an event. She is also the most talented with budgets, tickets and in general anything money (or cats) related.

Kirstine Hupfedt Nielsen is





Kirstine is the newest member of the attic, so we are yet to find out what role in the group she will fill. She is interested in mapping potential grants, places, collaborations all across Europe. She is great with questions, sound design and grand ideas.
