The work of renowned American photographer Andres Serrano (*1950, New York) deals with social issues, sexuality, racial intolerance, and the dark aspects of human existence. Join curator Otto M.

HIT BY NEWS
HIT BY NEWS takes a lucid and critical look at the fascinating topic of a society that was, is, and will continue to be shaped by the media. It presents a selection from the collection of Annette and Peter Nobel.
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.
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.
Patrik Illo: Something Is Not Nothing
The exhibition Something Is Not Nothing presents Patrik Illo, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Slovak glass art. The title of the exhibition refers to the intensity, concentration, and paradox inherent in Illo's work.

BOOKS 6+7 Edition
The Archive of Fine Arts has long been dedicated to Czech and Slovak typography. The BOOKS series, which focuses on exceptional typographic works from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, was launched in 2014. The exhibition "BOOKS Series 6+7" showcases the two most recently published volumes.
Jiří Petrbok: Patient Diary
Jiří Petrbok’s exhibition Patient Diary focuses on the theme of self-portraiture, presenting the artist’s work from the 1990s up to the present as an unbroken record of a changing, constantly questioned “self”.
Point of View 4: Resilience
The fourth instalment of the long-term project Point of View once again presents an exhibition and a classroom in one. The artistic approaches here open up a space to slow down and pay attention – a space for shared experience. They allow us to linger with uncertainty, to think and feel at the same time, and to seek strength in fragility.
