Předobrazy, prostor, abstrakce

An exhibition introducing the most recent output of this young artist who has already managed to attract a good deal of attention to his previous shows in this country as well as abroad. Jiří Thýn (b. 1977) studied with Professor Pavel Štecha at the Photography Department of Prague´s Academy of Art, Architecture and Design, but has progressively tended towards other media, by relativizing his approach to photography in an excitingly polemic manner (as in Stripe Test, or Calibrated Photography).
By no means is it mere coincidence that he has frequently drawn inspiration in Modernism and Avant-garde art (as in his photograms).

Conceptual artist, performer, and writer Milan Kozelka (1948‒2014) left an indelible mark on Czech art, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. He devoted himself to poetry from the 1960s onwards, and his poems are now considered part of the Czech response to American Beat literature. At the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, he turned his attention to action art.
