We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition Matyáš Chochola | Reversed Altars of Postmodernity, which will take place on Wednesday 15 November at 6 pm.

Memory, identity and the chaotic interconnectedness of human experience are the main themes of the work of Matyáš Chochola (1986). Through a combination of sculptures, paintings, various found materials, light and his own performances, he draws viewers into a surreally symbolic world that in a strange way mirrors the untouchable present.

The exhibition runs until 27 January, 2024.

The exhibition programme of the Jiri Svestka Gallery is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

Due to the public holiday – Independent Czechoslovak State Day – on Saturday 28 October we are closed.

The exhibition Petra Švecová | Sensing Time will be extended by one week – until Saturday 4 November.

This week the gallery is closed from Wednesday to Saturday.
If you are going to visit the exhibition Petra Švecová | Sensing Time, we will be open again from next Wednesday, October 4.

We cordially invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition Petra Švecová | Sensing Time on Friday 22 September at 5 pm.

Although the focus of Petra Švecová’s work lies in painting, the title of the exhibition Sensing Time is more reminiscent of time-based media, photography and even moving image. In this sense, the phrase Sensing Time, in addition to the taking of the image itself, can refer to starting and re-pausing of the sequence. Thus, the exhibition offers glimpses into a garden shrouded in personal myths in a moment that encompasses multiple times simultaneously and in which gesture prevails and takes on meaning.

The event is part of Prague Art Week 23.

The exhibition was financially supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
