Show on the map
Under the nickname Al Weat 812 hides the occasional artist and leader of the family publishing house Kunkava. It produces picture books, comics and games in small editions, intended only for the immediate reading public and not for the book market.
The artist does not bind books for the sake of beauty in itself, does not adapt to the supply and demand for contemporary books, but works with them in their original mission as a means of communication and an influential medium. It comes from a real need to spontaneously create in one's own way, together with friends and children, and in the current invasion and mirage of beautiful dead books, it acts as a real oasis.

GA-I-SU-RA
A homage to Petr Geisler and his work, GA-I-SU-RA also pays tribute to calligraphy as a form of inner expression, reminding us that writing and beautiful script have always been a natural reflection of (not only) a pure soul. From his expressive calligraphy through multiple-exposure photography from 1980s Japan to his monumental inscription of the Buddhist Heart Sutra.
Alžběta Tichá: Frequency
Frequency explores the complex relationship between body, mind, and technology. What happens when we feel nothing at all? And what happens when we go through extreme physical and emotional roller coasters? Alžběta Tichá creates an intimate and dynamic picture of human perception and emotions. Part of the Cirkopolis festival.

Radim Langer: Arcanum

Viktorie Langer: Paradiso Colore
At the Polička/Shelf Gallery in the Archive of Fine Arts, Viktorie Langer is exhibiting for the first time ever an interview with painter Jitka Válová, which was created in her early artistic days as a high school project.
Thomas Grauman: Confrontations
The exhibition presents photographs by American artist Thomas Grauman, taken during his short visit to Prague and depicting unofficial art events that took place in May 1984 at Jiří David's studio.
Point of View 3: Balance
The third instalment of a long-term project seeks a balance between the organic and technical worlds. The work of Czech and foreign artists reveals the various connections between nature and technology - two seemingly disparate environments to which we intrinsically belong today, even though we perceive a certain tension between them.
Eva Švankmajerová: Woe to the Painting…
The exhibition presents the full range of the work of Eva Švankmajerová, a leading artist of the Czech surrealist movement. The fundamental themes of her work, which she approached with relentless irony and emancipatory zeal, included the female body and the fate of women in a society dominated by men.
