The exhibition of the American artist David Lynch will present the artistic work of this icon of world cinema for the first time in the Czech Republic.
The artwork of David Lynch has not been comprehensively exhibited in the Czech Republic until now. The exhibition project, which is being prepared in collaboration with the Paris-based studio Item éditions and his representative gallery Pace in Los Angeles, is conceived as a retrospective of Lynch's artistic output, with an emphasis on his most recent works from the last seven years. David Lynch's expressive range of artistic work is very diverse, having worked in drawing, painting, photography, printmaking techniques, design, and animation over the course of nearly six decades. All these areas will also appear in the exhibition in representative collections, including experimental short films. The exhibition is not designed chronologically, but will follow specific formal or thematic connections that, among other things, characterise David Lynch's work. The project will also include music, film and literary programmes.

Point of View: Identity
Another instalment of the long-term project, which combines the format of an exhibition and a classroom and focuses on the theme of human identity. Who am I? What am I? The human form naturally takes centre stage; the body, its clothing, its behaviour. A person's identity and the different ways of looking at it.

The unique production combines a physical theatre performance with live music and a film starring child actors of Farm in the Cave studio to communicate an urgent, yet widely overlooked, topic – the online radicalisation of youth.
Refuge
They're on their way. Out of fear. No guarantees. Three people cross paths on the run. Bound to each other, they traverse territories of anxiety, courage, failure and compassion. They seek refuge in a world that doesn't care for them.
