The first-ever presentation in the Czech Republic of globally acclaimed Spanish artist Miquel Barceló focuses on his long-standing relationship with literature. This relation has been a recurring subject at different points in his career, which spans more than four decades and which will be explored through paintings, ceramics, watercolours, bronzes, prints, and books.

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.
Miquel Barceló and the Written Worlds
The first-ever presentation of the internationally acclaimed Spanish artist Miquel Barceló in the Czech Republic, focusing on his long and intense relationship with literature.
Joel-Peter Witkin: Broken World
An exhibition presenting photographs and drawings by Joel-Peter Witkin from 2010-2025. The exhibited works, by one of the most influential authors who brought photography to the forefront of the visual arts, show why his work continues to shape the way we think about the body, memory, and the meaning of images.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
