We invite you to the opening of three new exhibitions on Wednesday 16/10 at 6 p.m. The evening will include a performance. We look forward to seeing you!

Charisma

Artist: Barbora Lungová Curator: Marek Pokorný Architect: Tomáš Svoboda Graphic design: Tereza Hejmová

In a moderate selection, we present the work of a lesser-known but exceptional artist, Barbora Lungová (*1977), whose paintings make a generationally and artistically unique contribution to issues of gender, non-normative desire and hypnotic symbolism.


Ostrava to the End of the Line

Artists: Aneta Beranová, Martin Kubica, Dagmar Lasotová, Jiří Marek, Nikola Rácová, Katarína Szanyi, Tomáš Teper, Anna Treterová, Jiří Volejník

Opening night performance: Těleso zázraků (Hynek Chmelař, Martin Pavlík a Tomáš Teper)

Curator: Hynek Chmelař Architecture: Johana Pulgretová and team (Daniela Šimáčková, Jakub Černý, Patrik Slezák) Graphic Design: Dominika Goralska

The second probe into the Ostrava art scene. It showcases not only the youngest generation of emerging artists but also the middle and older generations. The focus is on diversity and the span across different fields.

Series On Current Issues of Local Resources, concept by Marek Pokorný and Jakub Adamec.
