12 / 15 COMETH THE HOUR

This exhibition showcases the 12/15 Better Late Than Never group, a key focal point of Czech art during the pivotal period immediately before and after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Presenting a concise survey of paintings and sculptures created by members of 12/15 between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s, the exhibition aims to highlight the connections within individual artists’ work as well as themes and motifs that resonated with the broader cultural and social climate of the time, which was energised above all by the desire for freedom of expression.

Dalibor Chatrný 100
09. 11. 2025 — 01. 03. 2026

Dalibor Chatrný 100

Dalibor Chatrný (1925–2012) is one of the most important Czech artists of the second half of the 20th century and is undoubtedly the most significant creative personality of his generation in Brno. For Chatrný, art was a tool for understanding the world, just like philosophy and science. He drew on his observations of natural processes and sought to connect science with art. His work was always experimental, and he constantly came up with new concepts and materials, with the process itself being of primary importance to Chatrný. The exhibition at GASK focuses on one area of his wide range of experimental approaches, which is connected with the creative principles of seepage and perforation.

Alena Kučerová 90

Alena Kučerová 90

Alena Kučerová (*1935) has been one of the most prominent figures in Czech art since the early 1960s. She has received numerous awards for her work, most recently the Ministry of Culture Award for her contribution to the visual arts in 2023. She brought experimentation and innovation to the field of graphic art in particular. She used structure and points as the basic building blocks of her work, and her art tended toward constructive artistic expression. However, the central theme was the depiction of people and landscapes, touching on personal inner themes and experiences of nature. The exhibition will show a selection of the author’s graphic works, perforated prints, metal matrices, and assemblages from her most recent period of work.

Stanislav Tůma – Chiaroscuro Prague
09. 11. 2025 — 12. 04. 2025

Stanislav Tůma – Chiaroscuro Prague

Stanislav Tůma (1950–2005) is best known as a photographer inspired by the poetic setting of Prague’s Malá Strana and Hradčany districts, which in urbanistic terms embody the subtle complexities of cultural history and human memory. This intimate exhibition at GASK focuses on Tůma’s fascination with the phenomenon of chiaroscuro, in other words the symbolic contrasting of light and shadow. It is being staged in tribute to a major figure of modern Czech photography in the year marking the twentieth anniversary of his death and what would have been his seventy-fifth birthday.

Aldin Popaja – Labyrinths
09. 11. 2025 — 08. 02. 2026

Aldin Popaja – Labyrinths

The painter, printmaker and teacher Aldin Popaja (born in 1971 in Jajce) can be described as a person living between two worlds. As a native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, he was profoundly affected by the human tragedy of the violent breakup of Yugoslavia during the first half of the 1990s. At GASK, Aldin Popaja is exhibiting paintings from two series: Flying Stones (2023–24) and Stone Sleepers (2025). Both series relate to the phenomenon of stećci, or tombstones, created between the mid-12th and early 16th centuries, which are mostly found in what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Mummies in Lace Porcelain Sculptures and Jewellery by Tereza Eisnerová
21. 09. 2025 — 22. 02. 2026

Mummies in Lace Porcelain Sculptures and Jewellery by Tereza Eisnerová

Eisner is drawn to porcelain for its delicate and refined nature, its smooth surface and its solid yet fragile physical characteristics. Over time, her work with this medium has evolved an entirely original style that distinctly pushes the limits of the material’s usual possibilities. Although her art includes life-sized figures and large-scale sculptures and reliefs, when working with porcelain she is focused on small or even miniature sculptures in which she can explore the material’s full potential. Her virtuoso work with the miniature format and her highly expressive themes of mummies and other macabre scenes make her a truly one-of-a-kind phenomenon on the Czech sculpture scene.

Jana Kasalová – By Heart
21. 09. 2025 — 22. 02. 2026

Jana Kasalová – By Heart

Jana Kasalová reads maps like some people read literature. For her, maps are both a schematic representation and a visible record of various layers of memory in the cultural landscape. She sees them as conventional attempts at producing an objective representation of the space in which we live, including its surface features, its relief and border lines, and also as evidence of spiritual, societal and historical contexts and events, which inspire her to engage in her own measuring and recording of space. She now exhibits the results of this subjective cartography – her geoanatomical “portraits” or states and territories – at GASK’s Experimental Space.

Tomáš Pilař – The Harvest of a Quiet Eye
21. 09. 2025 — 22. 02. 2026

Tomáš Pilař – The Harvest of a Quiet Eye

Painter and draughtsman Tomáš Pilař (born 1979) lives and works in the pleasant seclusion of his family home and garden in the village of Podlažice near Chrast in east Bohemia, where he devotes himself undisturbed to thinking and making art. With Pilař, these two activities are inextricably linked: each of his paintings can be described as the unique materialisation of an explorative thought process. This makes it all the more remarkable that his visual poetics are characterised above all by immediacy, natural ease and tactile spontaneity. It is precisely these qualities that lead us to the essence of Pilař’s expression.

New permanent exhibition – Through the Labyrinth

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.
