More about the exhibition
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.

More about the exhibition
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.
More about the exhibition
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.
