An educational programme from the The Role of Art / Roles in Art catalogue for the architecture of the DOX Centre, DOX+, and for the Gulliver Airship
the “architect” role
When during one educational programme for Eva Jiřičná’s exhibition we asked what it means to “put your body on the line”, we wanted to find out what role is played by the ability to take a risk and forge one’s own path during any type of creative activity. The exhibition ended, but the works of courageous architects and designers still invite us to stop and enter them. Buildings and their narratives are part of our lives, we can face them (standing, sitting, or lying down) in various ways – we define the sense and size of structures. And in a similar way, structures define us.
Why is variety important in (not only) architecture, and what role does the personality of creators play? We will explore these questions as well as ourselves in premises created three prominent architects. We will contrast the severity and purity of the “white cube” that is DOX with the absolutely different approach of Martin Rajniš, the creator of the Gulliver Airship, and for the first time also with the new DOX+ multifunction space, which was built under the leadership of award-winning architect Petr Hájek. Which will suit you best?
The educational programme contains various activities, commentaries, and discussions within the exhibition, with a closing workshop. Individual parts of the programme are naturally balanced and adapted to the age of the group.
Surprise friends or family with an unconventional afternoon, or get to know your colleagues in other roles - you can order this programme as a family workshop or team building. More information

DJ Curator: The Consolation of Objects
The programme for the exhibition The Consolation of Objects with the works of Orhan Pamuk introduces students and pupils to the role of the curator in contemporary art. In a broader sense, it shows the curator as an essential figure in any information creation.
From a Different Perspective: The Consolation of Objects
An educational programme using Narrative 4 methodologies, excerpts from Orhan Pamuk's work and visual material from the exhibition The Consolation of Objects. Get to know others and yourself from a different side.
Storybox: The Consolation of Objects
How much does a narrative need illustration and a picture needs a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery and an exhibition in it is like a big box full of stories and you just have to choose. The programme draws inspirational material from the ambiguous yet poetic works of Orhan Pamuk.
What's in the way?
Since ancient times, people have been placing sculptures in the space around them. Why is this so? And what exactly is such a statue? What is it for? A playful and exploratory journey through the DOX space with the creation of your own sculpture.
