A gallery of contemporary art located in the premises of a former telephone exchange is exhibiting collections by contemporary artists.
The exhibition Doma na zdi (On the Wall at Home on the Wall) at the Prostora Gallery will present the home collection of the artistic duo Tomáš Císařovský and Erika Bornová. This home collection was created spontaneously over decades and shows the connections between related artists and an unconventional view of the domestic art scene. “We surround ourselves with the art of colleagues, both close and distant, mainly because we don’t want to take our work home with us. We each have one painting on our walls that we care about, also for the reason that we don’t want it to be sold. The paintings and drawings came to us for various reasons. A smaller part comes from our families, most of the collection was created by exchanging our works piece by piece, we also bought some directly, and with these occasional purchases, we try to support the youngest artists,” says Tomáš Císařovský. The exhibition will feature, for example, Viktor Pivovarov, Jan Merta, Antonín Střížek, Stanislav Diviš, Vladimír Boudník, Emil Holárek, František Tichý, and others.
The opening took place on September 17 at 6:00 p.m. Opening hours outside of the festival week can be found on the gallery’s website.
