Schwestern: Watchtower
This site-specific installation offers space for audiovisual detox and quiet contemplation after visiting the exhibitions. You can think about what you saw in the gallery or simply relax your mind completely. This year, the architectural-artistic duo schwestern created an installation called the Watchtower. The three highest windows in the building of the former transformer station reveal a view of the unique area of Klárov, bordered on one side by the sought-after views of Prague Castle and on the other by the Letná hill profile.
Preparing for Darkness 2024
Museum Kampa
The exhibition series ‘Preparing for Darkness’, I would like to pose a counter concept. The 8th edition of the series takes place at Museum Kampa and presents 13 artists – mostly painters – who stand as examples of a generation marked by an exceptional intellectual approach to artistic practices. The resulting profound examination of art history, paired with extraordinary artistic skill, can be seen as veritable and imminent, as they each, through their own unique style, offer a real, pictorially comprehensible and perceptible dialogue between past art and their own inscribed emotional world. What unites them is a resurrection of melancholy, which returns to highlight the magical in a viewing experience. In that sense, my chosen metaphor ’Preparing for Darkness’ is meant to describe both melancholy and the state of the world.“ – Uwe Goldenstein
Kafkovské
DOX Centre for Contemporary Art
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. Works by more than twenty internationally acclaimed artists show that Kafka’s work with its references to existential fears and personal anxieties is highly relevant for our times.
Prague Fashion Week
The famous Prague Fashion Week will take place in Prague. This year, Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week will visit the Tyrš House, the iconic heart of the Sokol movement – the headquarters of the Czech Sokol Association.
As expected, you can look forward to a packed program full of designer shows, showrooms, great music, and dancing.
Design Blok
Letošní Designblok opět přivede návštěvníky na některá z nejvýjimečnějších míst, která Praha nabízí. Festival se pro loňský mimořádně kladný ohlas vrací na Pražský hrad a nabídne i tradiční výstavní prostory Uměleckoprůmyslového musea v Praze – které po dobu festivalu ponesou název „Výstavní dům MLÁDEŽE“. A poprvé v historii festivalu dostanou návštěvníci také možnost vstoupit do hlavní historické budovy Muzea hlavního města Prahy, která nedávno prošla citlivou rekonstrukcí.
