Teapot: The Art of the Book
Exhibition of bibliophilia at design shop DOX by Qubus. Seven book titles from the production of the publishing house Teapot are displayed in a site-specific installation prepared for the space and tailored to each book.
Cyberlemon
Hynek Martinec's solo show draws together an extraordinary range of references to meditate upon the present state of human consciousness. He responds to an accelerated and increasingly polarized world where art, technology, and social changes meet in unexpected and often paradoxical ways.
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.
David Lynch: Up in Flames
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.
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.
Ensemble Modern II
A Czech premiere of an opera by George Benjamin and a world premiere of Slavomír Hořínka’s composition concludes the first year of Ensemble Modern’s three-year residency at the Prague Spring.
