Educational programme from the permanent offer of The Role of Art / Roles in Art for the exhibition David Lynch: Up in Flames.

Role: “Artist”

What does it mean to “stick your neck out”? What role does courage and the ability to go your own way play in any kind of creation? The works of artists, writers, composers, and others often invite us into their own stories, and authenticity is valued, whether it conveys beauty, joy, or despair. The reaction may be immediate, or it may take time, but the original creator is always sticking their neck out.

The exhibition of the American artist David Lynch, Up in Flames, will for the first time in the Czech Republic present the artistic work of this icon of world cinema, focusing on drawings, photographs, lithographs, watercolours and short experimental and animated films. At the same time, it will present works from all of the artist's creative periods, from the late 1960s to the present. The artist's unique aesthetics, distinctive approach to reality and beyond will be an excuse to search for his own expression. And to create.

The educational programme includes various activities, commentaries, discussions and contemplation in the exhibition all with a final reflection.
