Miloš Vojtěchovský – An Experiential Tour of Hell
The Central Slaughterhouse in Holešovice once resembled an almost self-contained town, or even a ghetto. Hidden behind high walls, the ten-hectare complex comprised 49 halls, a network of streets and squares, a power station, a bank, underground passageways, and railway tracks connecting it to the nearby Bubny station. A century ago, butchers here slaughtered and butchered as many as 87 million cows, pigs, and horses each year. The sound walk through the former slaughterhouse grounds evokes a time when the cries and wails of animals being transported and killed could be heard far across the surrounding area, while the drains carried the faint squeaking of a population of hundreds of thousands of rats living in the underground passages of this extermination camp in Prague 7.

Hynek Alt – Fantom
Fantom, a site-specific installation by Hynek Alt, returns to the site where J. Sudek once worked in Prague’s Újezd district. The central element of the exhibition is a video created within a digital reconstruction of the studio. The exhibition includes a new photographic work that returns to Sudek’s portraits of veiled faces.
Infrastructures of Imagination
The exhibition explores how mythical and ritual narratives are reconfigured within an environment of data abstraction, distributed knowledge, and the aesthetic protocols of the present, and how digital culture shapes new forms of storytelling.
Michal Kalhous – Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory
The exhibition *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* presents a series of photographs created over the recent period. It is an experimental tool of synthesis and a search for a path to fulfillment. At the same time, it is a purposeful, captivating exploration of suddenness and their relationships. *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* is once again an attempt at a dialogue between inner experience and a higher, transcendent order.
