A family art workshop relating to the exhibition Beyond Words
The exhibition Beyond Words presents books (as well as literature, stories, etc.) as vast landscapes stretching between a tangible, artistic object and a work composed of words and thoughts – as places between the earth and the heavens. One of the first things we encounter on our journey through such a landscape is the title of the book. A title can sell a book, or vice versa. It can arouse curiosity and provoke. And it can be crucial when we want to recall what the story was about, even years later.
The title is part of a book’s face, and encountering this face is like a finger wandering on a map of an unknown island. In the workshop we will combine imagination with the artistic possibilities of various materials and long-unneeded books, and together we will create a gateway to unknown stories. Or at least a door.

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.
Pavel Forman: Transforman
The exhibition will present thirty of the latest works by the painter Pavel Forman. The title of the exhibition can be understood as a play on words, referring of course to the artist’s name and at the same time to his favourite forms and approaches, which are in a sense “trans”, i.e. metamorphosing, transitional or mutating.
Kamila Ženatá: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
The exhibition will present large-format abstract canvases by the Czech artist Kamila Ženatá, created over the last few years. A constant in her work is the constant search, the desire for knowledge, the effort to get closer to the mystery of human existence and to understand the order of the world.
KAFKAesque
The exhibition KAFKAesque focuses on reflections on Kafka’s work and poetics in contemporary visual art offering not a historical perspective of his work, but a view that reflects our present-day situation with all its complexities and ambiguities.
