Presenting around 80 works by 46 artists, the exhibition Group Therapy is a dialogue, an encounter, an exchange of artistic ideas and concepts, and a juxtaposition of artworks from two different collections. 

Holdings from – and recent acquisitions for – the collection of Prague City Gallery are brought together here with pieces from Art Collection Telekom, which was launched by Deutsche Telekom in 2010 to promote and collect contemporary art from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe.

The Association of Greek Graphic Artists is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 by a group of renowned Greek graphic artists. Today it has more than 70 members, printmakers who work with different techniques and research the latest trends in printmaking and guide the development of contemporary Greek printmaking. As part of the ongoing partnership between Greek and Czech printmakers and in collaboration with the Czech Centre of Athens, an exhibition of the Union of Greek Printmakers will be held in Prague. A collection of 71 works by 55 printmakers will be on display at the Hollar Gallery from 1 to 30 June. In line with this year’s tribute to Kafka and in a desire to honour the host nation, the exhibition carries the theme “Metamorphosis, Approaches to Kafka”. The contributing artists have created works that draw inspiration from this theme. Their approaches are an attempt at personal interpretation and dialogue with Kafka’s work, which is still relevant as it refers to and comments on the eternal human predicament.

Come and see for yourself how hair was ironed and curled with gas in the past using irons heated on special gas heaters! 65 Czech and foreign gas irons will be on display.

You'd be surprised what gas was used for in the past

Gas Museum

The parts of the oldest Prague gas plant in Karlín from 1847, the oval gas pipeline from Charles bridge from 1878, the neo-rococo Villeroy & Boch castle gas stove from the 1870s, the gas movie camera "Bavaria" and the gas slide projector " Laterna Magica" from the end of the 19th century,  gas radiator from "Victorian" England, a gas hat shaper from England,  waffle maker from Germany, Czech "Moretta" automatic washing machine with gas water heating, Art nouveau gas interior chandeliers,  gas mangl, gas refrigerator or a series of historic gas coffee roasters, irons and heaters for hair curlers.  

The museum owns the largest collection of more than 150 gas meters of various types, from the beginnings of the gas industry (the oldest gas meter is from 1873) to the latest, so-called smart gas meters. The Glozar coin gas meter is also a rarity. 

In the museum you will see the largest collection of "KARMA" gas appliances in the world. This year we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of its founder Karel Macháček.

"Searching for Lost Time" is a serial-type documentary films by Czech Television and hosted by Karel Čáslavský.
It uses archival footage, often very rare and virtually unknown.

Ever since the ceremonial commissioning of the Michle gasworks (1927), its main gate has been decorated with the work of the famous Czech sculptor Ladilav Šaloun "Apotheosis of Gas Industry", placed on a 10-meter stone plinth.
With this sculpture, the sculptor ingeniously captured the essence of the gas industry, which at the time was based on the production of town gas by carbonizing black coal. The sculpture represents work and science. Work is personified by a miner who mines coal, science by a woman who transforms it into a more perfect product - gas. A woman is holding a piece of coal in her hand, from which a gas flame is burning. 
Only on festive occasions does the flame reach the sky, and especially in the evening the artwork is impressive.

As part of Prague Museum Night, the MeetFactory Gallery will also open its doors and present the current exhibitions The Boundaries of Ambiguity (MeetFactory Gallery) and The Light of Just One Lamp by the duo Alex Selmeci & Tomáš Kocka Jusko (Kostka Gallery) in guided tours. 

Guided tours will be led by curator Ján Gajdušek from 17:00-23:00 every hour or according to interest. 

Boundaries of Ambiguity
The collective exhibition in main gallery of MeetFactory presents ten artists whose common approach is a creative balance between free art and design. Their works grow out of applied objects, but are generally conceived as challenging experiments in form and material, pushing (and crossing) the boundaries of design objects into the realm of free art. These works are therefore more like complex sculptures that mask their original applied function with their surface as mimicry.
Artists: Julia Gryboś & Barbora Zentková, Johana Hnízdilová, Anna Jožová, Audrey Large, Judita Levitnerová, Tadeáš Podracký, David Střeleček, Roman Štětina, Tereza Vinklárková

Alex Selmeci & Tomáš Kocka Jusko: The Light of One Lamp Only
The solo exhibition at the Kostka Gallery is the thematic equivalent to the collective exhibition at the large MeetFactory gallery. The artists conceive the exhibition as a preview or a free composition of actual works and objects, without the aim of any resolution. In particular, they present new objects from the series Columns and Towers, which are related to the exterior work Cuckoo (2023), inspired by the architecture of birds, the interacting human and animal construction and its transcendence. The motif of the leeward side is important here, a kind of safe area for building, growing, anchoring, entangling or temporarily surviving. In relation to the objects, smaller series of used objects are placed in the space, co-creating the light, sound and spatial conditions of the gallery.

The painter Magdalena Turzová, with her well-thought-out, sensitive painting, touches on themes that freely arise from the double-edged position of middle age, when one is already raising children, but at the same time does not cease to be the child of aging parents. Although her images are anchored in a personal space, they relate to a generally shared experience and therefore have the ability to make an objective statement.

During the evening, the first floor of MeetFactory, where our residents' studios are located, will be open to the public.

During her residency at MeetFactory, Adriana Bogdanova is conducting artistic research on a honey badger named Káča, who escaped from the Prague Zoo a few years ago. In his escape, Káča probably managed to overcome an electric fence and a barrier more than one and a half meters high. As part of Prague Museum Night, the artist will present an installation in her studio composed of foundry sand that responds to themes of escape and creates parallels between physical escape and the digital escape prevalent in our society, especially through social media.

In Bögdana Kosmina's studio, visitors will be able to see the exhibition "The Atlas of Traditional Ukrainian Housing from the Middle of the 19th to the Middle of the 20th Century", which maps The Atlas projectt - a project that was supposed to be jointly implemented with three academies of sciences (of the USSR) from Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine in the 1960s. In the 1990s there was a huge effort to continue the Ukrainian section led by architect and ethnographer Tamara Kosmina and the academic team including Oksana Kosmina, architect, historical scientist, and researcher of ethnology and material culture; and Dmytro Vortman, cartographer, scientific editor of the “Encyclopedia of the History of Ukraine,” and compiler of historical, ethnographic maps. The publishing of the Atlas was finally abandoned by the Rylsky Institute of Art Studies, Folklore and Ethnology in Kyiv and the Institute of Folklore in Lviv due to its colossal scale. The Atlas consists of a series of digital maps, texts, and a visual block: architectural drawings, watercolors, and photos of the buildings’ interiors and exteriors. Each of the thematic maps and visual representations has three time gradations: the middle and end of the 19th century and the beginning and middle of the 20th century.

At MeetFactory residency Batu Bozoglu continues in his research on civilian trauma during the world wars, he is  investigating the Terezin Ghetto: a site of Nazi Genocide. Arts and crafts such as theatre, literature, games and concerts played a large role in the struggle for morale in this ghetto, thanks to the large number of artists interred here, coupled with the children present in the camp. Inspired by one of these games, he is now in the process creating a new board game that would try to emulate, and in doing so perhaps translate part of this experience in the form of a collective performance. 

Syinat Zholdosheva through her performance, seeks to encourage visitors to engage in self-exploration. She has curated a set of 61 cards (symbolizing her two-month residency at Meet Factory) to guide these conversations. These cards, akin to magical keys, contain questions designed to provoke deep introspection and open our eyes to inner truths. The performance is an outcome of Syinat's self-reflection during her residency, a period where she immersed herself in her thoughts, had profound self-dialogues, and learned to live in a state of calm and relaxation, away from everyday distractions.

During Viktoriia Tymonova's residency at MeetFactory she's worked with the theme of witchcraft. Within Prague Museum Night you can see her new works about flying ointment and try wax divination.

Dana Andrei will open the studio into a makeshift research laboratory, showcasing older works (including an audio poem and printed matter) alongside glimpses into her current research. Her project explores the challenges of recording, archiving, and reproducing soundscapes and immaterial memories often overlooked by historical research; by framing the study of the silk industry during the socialist era within a broader reflection of contextual analysis, it examines how material conditions have shaped the auditory experiences of particular generations.

Improv Session
A two-hour improvised music session initiated by resident Keyvan Paydar will take place in the foyer of MeetFactory. Participation is open to all corners of the music scene, regardless of experience or genre. Michał Łukaszuk will perform a poem he wrote in Prague during a residency at an Improv session. It starts at 9 pm.

The exhibition commemorates the 90th anniversary of painter Jiří Bouda's birth and celebrates his extensive work with motifs of technology, public transport, and especially railways. Trains became the central theme of his paintings, illustrations, prints, and ex-libris.
Another significant aspect of his work was the creation of postage stamps. The exhibition displays his artwork, line drawings, sketches, engraved plates, postage stamps, first-day covers, and postcards from the collections of the Postal Museum. Approximately one hundred of these postal-themed items are displayed alongside works from his son Martin Bouda's collections, as well as artefacts from the world of railways.

Eva Brodská (*1937) is a creator of monumental woven images, which she makes using a traditional tapestry technique. She uses wool as her main material, often in combination with sisal.
She graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague, where she studied under Professor Antonín Kybal, the founder of the modern interpretation of textile art. Since the 1960s she has exhibited in various places in the Czech Republic and abroad. Her consistently original tapestries are conceived as paintings. They are among the key works of Czech textile art of the second half of the twentieth century. Brodská is a member of the artists’ forum Umělecká Beseda, and her works are represented in the collections of renowned museums and galleries.

Entrance Gallery is the first artistic space in Prague that focuses systematically in its long-term program on the issues of ecological sustainability and care for the environment.

Exposures is the first major retrospective following the life of the Prague-born photographer and writer Lucia Moholy (1894–1989). Spanning her entire career from the 1910s to the 1970s, the exhibition presents more than 600 photographs, microfilms, letters, articles, books, and audio interviews, many formerly unseen. It is the first exhibition to place better known photographs taken during her time at the Bauhaus and Britain into dialogue with her work as an information scientist in Turkey and a central figure in the Zurich art scene of the 1960s and 70s. Addressing missing works in Moholy’s oeuvre, it also incorporates installations by the contemporary Czech artist Jan Tichy. 

For visitors of Prague Museum Night, besides the exhibition, the café on the 3rd floor will also be open.

As part of Prague Museum Night 2024, there will be an Artist Talk with both artists from the current exhibition Moments of Landscape, Maroš Belák and Jan Kovářík, at 8pm and 10pm. The Artist Talk will be led by the exhibition curator, Bára Alex Kašparová.

It will also be possible to visit the gallery terrace directly by Čertovka with a view of Charles Bridge.

Organic, amorphous, and geometric. Both artists create and depict such landscapes and their fragments in new aesthetic situations. The exhibition Moments of Landscape presents the latest paintings by Maroš Belák (* 1983, Zvolen, SK) and sculptural objects by Jan Kovářík (* 1980, Kyjov, CZE) curated by Bára Alex Kašparová.

Intertwining and merging, the transfer of material into planes, and the transformation of a structural network into objects. Both artists are intrinsic landscapists, representing the landscape in its abstract form — in its moments.

A constant doubt, which results in the existence of the exhibited paintings, is the principle of Belák's creative process. He engages with the initial surface of the canvas, introducing and creating, stagnating. Another phase and layer of possible destruction and subsequent renewal or transformation follow. Maroš Belák's approach, a graduate of the Drawing and Graphics Studio at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno under the guidance of Svätopluk Mikyta, is a multilayered process. This is evident not only in the resulting image but also in its formal appearance. The framed painting extends through the layering of paint into an object, becoming an archive of thought processes and a record of landscape fragments. The dense surface surpassing the initial intention grows into a synthesis of the whole. Belák's works are deeply rooted in the landscape, both natural and urban. He works with the concept of a fictional landscape, built on a combination of amorphous and geometric shapes. His paintings can be interpreted in many ways — Umberto Eco addressed the issue of ambiguous reading of a work and its manipulation through various intentionally chosen means to achieve emotional and intellectual stimulation in the reader in his work Lector in fabula (Milan: Bompiani, 1979). Direct colors and their contrasts, the tension between the edge and the point, the unexpected entry into another layer. These are some of the expressive means Belák chooses, offering the viewer a constant discovery of aesthetic moments derived from the landscape.

Natural structures and the landscape also form the basis of Jan Kovářík's sculptural objects. Coming from a sculptor family of Ludmila and Miroslav Kovářík, and following this formative experience, he studied in the Sculpture 2 studio at the Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of Jindřich Zeithamml. His monumental organic forms are teeming with networks and structures found in nature, transformed into patterns and designs that create the surface of his works. His pieces draw the viewer into the fascinating morphology of the microcosm, accentuated in a scale proportionate to humans—and often exceeding it, confronting them directly with the mysteries usually hidden from the human eye. The sculptural neologisms that this leading sculptor brings forth are fascinating in terms of their final morphology, enhanced by an experimental approach to materials and their technological processing. Kovářík scales the awareness of the organic landscape, creating a continuous body of spatial visual grammar. Once again, with consistency, he presents works that capture even the subtle nuances of transience.
