Avoid the mundane
Vanitas
Death, dying, and the transience of things: those are the themes art has explored extensively since the Renaissance, when still life paintings with flowers and a human skull were very much in vogue. Vanitas presents the works of more than 40 artists who have found new, original ways to use such motifs.
On Love
The first public presentation of Siegfried Herz’s art. For more than ten years, Herz has been working in seclusion, isolated from the outside world. His works, often brutally honest but always deeply introspective and genuine, explore such themes as pain, love, dreams and desires.

Together Forever!
Fragments of an absurd mother-daughter relationship appear in a kaleidoscope of situations from other lives lived without recognizing their sense and direction, between fun and powerlessness, narcissism and fear of death.
Remixed and Reimagined
The exhibition Vladimír Skrepl: Remixed and Reimagined is neither a classical retrospective nor a showcase of new, as yet unexhibited works. Rather, the exhibition is intended to show how wide and diverse Skrepl's influence on the contemporary art scene is.
