Klára Stodolová: Dancing into the unconscious and back

The work of Klára Stodolová mixes painting with dance. The depths of the unconscious conceal many things, among them all human and personal experience, the laws of the universe, our fears and talents. To dance their healthy potential means to raise them into the light of consciousness and to incorporate them bodily. For Klárá, this can be done through Biodanza, an integrative system of movement created by the Chilean psychologist and lover or life Rolando Toro that she has practiced for the past eight years. Besides several large-format plein-air watercolours, the exhibition shows Klára’s graduation work from her study of Biodanza – a series of dance paintings depicting Biodanza’s Theoretical Model as well as the elements and archetypes of human experience.

Jakub Janovský – House of Cards

House of Cards presents works by Jakub Janovský from the past several years, with a focus on his long-standing interest in utopian, fictional and temporary buildings. He draws inspiration in equal measure from the dreams of avant-garde architects, actual contemporary buildings and his son’s bold experiments with wooden building blocks. Janovský explores all these sources of inspiration as a counterbalance to figural works with motifs of children’s games and as personal encounters in an anonymous city – but also as a specific, intimate homage to the classical themes of still-lifes and as a kind of vanitas, a metaphor for the fragile and ephemeral nature of existence.

Horn of Cape. Veronika Šrek Bromová – Markéta Othová – Kateřina Vincourová

The exhibition aims to, after a long time apart, once again bring together three artistic positions that, at numerous group and solo exhibitions in the 1990s, inspired new ways of interpreting the visual nature of the present day. In the work of Veronika Bromová, Markéta Othová and Kateřina Vincourová, conflicting reflections of an uncertain identity and a hidden, obscured and mediated reality gave rise to a clearly defined stylistic quality characterised by a tense romantic-classical dichotomy (expression – order, performance – meditation, image – object) and spanning multiple artistic media and forms.

Anežka Hošková – VISCUM ALBUM

The exhibition with the mysterious title Viscum album presents the work of Anežka Hošková, an established Czech artist who has contributed to reintroducing romantic and emotional tendencies into contemporary art in the Czech Republic. In terms of subject matter, her drawings, paintings, stained glass and performative installations place her within the international stream of mystical, associative art and post-internet aesthetics. In this spirit, Viscum album presents previously unexhibited works as well as older works from the artist’s archives and works on loan from various other art institutions.

Kateřina Simerová – In the Dark

The large-format images of animals, often looking directly into the lens of the camera trap, are an evocative testimony to the nocturnal life of our fellow creatures, whose glowing gazes resemble lights shining in the dark. The archetypal impression made by the animal portraits contrasts with the dynamic music-video or street-art aesthetic of the photographs of dancers and masked figures. It is like an encounter, in one magical space, between the old rituals of hunters and the modern mythology and nightmares of the big city.

New permanent exhibition – Through the Labyrinth

On Saturday 29 June 2024, the Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region opened a new permanent exhibition of works from its collection. The exhibition’s non-historical approach follows on its successful predecessor, States of Mind / Beyond the Image, which in 2015 won the prestigious national Gloria Musaealis award. The new exhibition, conceived as an invitation to wander Through the Labyrinth, was loosely inspired by the book The Hero with a Thousand Faces by the American ethnologist and religious scholar Joseph Campbell (1904–1987), whose work explored the shared foundations of myths, fables and religious teachings.
