Not Only this Week:

Until Mar 29: Devětsil 1920-1931 Exhibition

The first and only exhibition of the Devětsil Art Association in Prague City Gallery took place in 1986, more than 30 years ago. František Šmejkal prepared it in collaboration with Rostislav Švácha and Jan Rous. Subsequently there was a number of partial or monographic exhibitions of the Czech visual avant-garde of the 1920s, e.g., Devětsil in Brno or Josef Šíma’s early work, but it has never before been presented as a whole with new research findings.

Until Apr 12: David Claerbout: Olympia

Olympia is a computer-generated replica of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, which finds itself in a time-space devoid of human intervention and entrusted to the cycles of nature. Following the original “ruinenwert” theory, in which the stadium’s own decay has been pre-incorporated, Olympia invokes a cycle of creation to dissolution by the slow force of nature. Although the human element has been removed, it is re-introduced through the work’s synchronicity with our own life cycle. Olympia can be regarded as an attempt to measure biological duration against imaginary duration. By “biological duration” one can understand the lifespan of a human being, and by “imaginary duration” one can understand ideological time: the illusion to witness one thousand years.
