MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE

The exhibition “Memories of the Future”is the result of the specific institutional and spatial conditions of the Václav Špála Gallery, but it also responds to the renewed interest within contemporary art in new ways of understanding modernity.  

As a result, the exhibition brings together artists working with a reflection of different expressions of modernity as inscribed in the gallery’s character. The wide range of expressive tools – photography (Markéta Othová), objects and spatial interventions (Dominik Lang), installations (Mathias Poledna), and wall paintings, film screenings and interventions (Florian Pumhösl) – looks to the past as a source for understanding the presents.

But when the filmstrip was digitized in 2016, it turned out to contain something completely different.
