Infamous Beauty
A overview of the work of American artist and photographer Andres Serrano from the 1980s to the present, featuring more than 120 works. In two separate parts, the exhibition will reveal a surprising and powerful dialogue between current photographs and older works.
The Ritual of Cursed Hearts
Jan Vytiska‘s largest exhibition to date, presenting his paintings from the previous three years. The exhibition presents almost forty large-scale paintings. Thematically, it is still based on a distinctive mix of Wallachian folklore and pop culture references.
Point of View
The world is a place that originates and exists largely in our imaginations. How do we imagine a place for art? And what should it look like for learning? The point of view is a space of uncertainty but also of new experience; a space that shows potential of stereotypes, fear, making mistakes, and changing mind-sets.
Beyond Words
Image and word. Art and literature. They each have their own territories, their own maps and cartographies. The exhibition Beyond Words aims to explore some of these inspirations and to show how literary culture finds an echo in the works of visual artists today.

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. The performers' dynamic movement, the pulse of live music, and disturbing images together create an unusual insight into the digital darkness that most of us are – perhaps intentionally – unaware of.
España!
Contemporary music performed by the BERG Orchestra, this time presenting the best contemporary Spanish composers established on the international music scene.
Music for Lights & Shadows
More than an hour-long mixture of music, picture and light was created by a group of seven leading Czech jazz composers together with an iconic Norwegian composer Helge Sunde. The Concept Art Orchestra is a foremost Czech big band, with a unique line-up for this occasion including a string quartet and electronics.
Thin Skin
A performance by established circus acrobat Eliška Brtnická and her hypnotic production Thin Skin at the interface of movement installation and contemporary circus in the spaces of the DOX Centre.
