Alžběta Tichá: Frequency
Frequency explores the complex relationship between body, mind, and technology. What happens when we feel nothing at all? And what happens when we go through extreme physical and emotional roller coasters? Alžběta Tichá creates an intimate and dynamic picture of human perception and emotions. Part of the Cirkopolis festival.
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.
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.
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.
Gioele Coccia: Never So Close, Never So Far
One body. Many faces. Alone in plain sight. Fragmented into thousands of versions, we search in vain for our essence. We are more visible than ever, yet behind our masks we hunger for connection. And each futile attempt digs deeper into our core. A cross-section of the work of Italian choreographer, dancer, and dance filmmaker Gioele Coccia.
Dean Hurley: Through This World + support Freddy Ruppert
Dean Hurley, David Lynch's long-time collaborator, will present his live audiovisual performance at DOX+. The evening will be supported by artist Freddy Ruppert.
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.
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.
All Is Good in Heaven
Farm in the Cave has created a unique evening performance that takes place in dialogue with the exhibition David Lynch: Up in Flames. Inspired by Lynch's courage to follow his imagination.
