All exhibitionsLukáš Machalický – Half Board
The subject of Lukáš Machalický’s exhibition is the creation of a site-specific installation in the Printmaking Crossovers exhibition space at the former Jesuit College. In his exhibitions, Machalický creates works that straddle the boundaries between architecture, sculpture and object art while addressing themes related to urbanism, architecture and social memory in the place in question. The installation at GASK responds to the given situation and creates a new one through which the artist reflects on today’s eclectic era.
More about the exhibitionFilip Černý – OFFLINE_CUT
OFFLINE_CUT is an exhibition that explores the search for a painterly path, addressing the need to return to the physical essence of the image. At a time when the visual world is increasingly dissolving into digital space—amidst generated sketches and the seductive smoothness of screens—Filip Černý adopts a counter-stance: a return to matter, to the cut, to the tension created by the resistance of unyielding material, and to craftsmanship and direct physical contact. The exhibition’s title—a term denoting a rough film edit devoid of effects—refers not only to cinematic jargon but also to a radical gesture: the interruption of the endless virtual illusion, and the moment when the image becomes simultaneously an imaginative and a material reality, here and now.
More about the exhibitionMölzer Kyncl Hilmar 1968–1978
The exhibition has been conceived as a map of the relationships, places and events that shaped their activities in exile. This approach, founded on the idea of ‘networks’, traces their main areas of activity in West Germany, reconstructs group exhibitions, looks at their professional and personal ties and their contacts with gallerists, theorists and art institutions, also exploring their oeuvre within a broader cultural and historical context. With this in mind, it places the work of Mölzer, Kyncl and Hilmar in an international dialogue with the most influential tendencies in art then concentrated around Düsseldorf, including the ZERO group.
More about the exhibitionJakub Berdych Karpelis – The Traditional Family
The Traditional Family presents a series of new art objects made specifically for GASK’s Whitebox exhibition space by the sculptor, conceptual artist and designer Jakub Berdych Karpelis. In his glass-panel objects, the artist constructs collages from sheet glass and glass vases decorated using the high-enamel technique – a medium whose perception has shifted over time, much like the evolving role of the family itself. In this installation, the artist reflects on the interiors of Eastern European households in the second half of the twentieth century, addressing family stereotypes and the kitsch embedded in the socially prescribed normative model of the period – mother, father, house and children. The installation looks at the traditional model of the family as a changing, fragile unit, and opens up discussion regarding today’s wide range of family models.

More about the exhibitionPetr Válek – Untamed
Untamed presents the latest work of Petr Válek as a phantasmagoric world of images, sounds and objects straddling the line between art, music and performance. The exhibition works with a fictional memory of the Sudetenland, with psychedelic AI-generated images, with faux folk traditions and a childlike imagination that mixes punk playfulness with horror and the grotesque. The exhibition’s audio component is not an accompaniment to images, but has its own, autonomous semantic position. Untamed is an exhibition about childhood memories, the harsh landscape of the Sudeten countryside and the chaos of contemporary reality, but it is also about unfettered artistic freedom and the uncommon beauty of ugliness.
More about the exhibitionPermanent 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.
