Michal Novotný is a curator of contemporary art, who is known for his group exhibitions focusing on a particular theme, which is a genre quite difficult to prepare and not very common on the Czech art scene. The question which arises is about the relationship between individual works of art and the topic of the exhibition which they are incorporated in.
