COMING EXHIBITIONS

BOYS’ GAMES JARMO MÄKILÄ [15.06.2012 - 02.09.2012] HALL, WING, MEDIApoint, LOBBY The art museum will be taken over by Jarmo Mäkilä’s new installations, sculptures and paintings: a group of boys romping about making mischief, searching for their adulthood and growing a shield against the world. These rites of initiation involve risks. The world of young boys is tinged by violence, most relevantly the threat of violence. Their reality is made of subjugation and submission. The happiness of childhood is a taboo one is forbidden to question. On the way to the world of small boys, to the twilight zone between dream and wakefulness, the viewers encounter the artist and also their own memories of childhood and youth.

NEXT PLANET PAVEL MRKUS [21.09.2012 - 13.01.2013] Hall, Wing Curator: Michal Kolecek Next Planet touch phenomena on the borders of real – physical and illusive – data spaces. The art works oscillate between material and immaterial, depictive and non-depictive, realism and abstraction. Parallels within the datascape and physical world can be observed both in visual form and language we use to describe the two realities. The exhibition consists of video installations and installations with interactive elements. In co-operation with: Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem Faculty of Art and Design (Czech Republic), Porin Videotuki
