14. 3. – 13. 7. Exhibition Beyšovec & son / Gallery Magnus Art
Jan Bejšovec has been building his collection of works of art for many years. He then creates another collection for his eleven-year-old son, who, like his father, also gradually finds a love for art. Now the works leave the premises of the collector’s apartment for a short time and head to the Magnus Art Gallery in Karlín. Visitors can view them for free until mid-summer.
13. 3. – 16. 7. HORIZONS / Kooperativa, Pobřežní 21 – Prague 8
We probably all know that feeling, a memory from childhood – a garden stretching as far as the eye can see, an endless path to the forest, the immeasurable surface of the pond. The perceptions of our youth, for decades, will be reduced to nothingness, to the point of extinction, to timelessness, where the horizon is already filled with ruin. This is how generation after generation piles up and the horizons of ages blur and disappear. The paintings of the masters are and remain mute and yet eloquent witnesses of those true events.
4. 4. – 6. 10. Body in body / Gallery Atrium Žižkov
The intention of the Body in the Body exhibition is to draw attention to our body, how it changes during life, how we do not perceive it, how it adopts new habits, how we think about it or how we can overcome various innate or acquired limitations.
13. 3. – 16. 7. HORIZONTS – Art between heaven and earth / Gallery of the Cooperative
We probably all know that feeling, a memory from childhood – a garden stretching as far as the eye can see, an endless path to the forest, the immeasurable surface of the pond. The perceptions of our youth, for decades, will be reduced to nothingness, to the point of extinction, to timelessness, where the horizon is already filled with ruin. This is how generation after generation piles up and the horizons of ages blur and disappear. The paintings of the masters are and remain mute and yet eloquent witnesses of those true events.
