New exhibition Live laugh cry coming soon

We invite you to the exhibition!

30 October – 6 December
Opening: 30 October – 7 PM
Artists: Julie Drahovzalová, Karolína Auzká

The exhibition Live Laugh Cry explores the paradox facing today’s young generation: being young is seen as life’s “prime time”, yet we are living through an era of collapse. Against the backdrop of global disasters and socioeconomic and climate crises, we find ourselves worrying about Botox, Labubu or how to make our first million. But don’t worry, we’ve got three new products for you that lower your cortisol levels...

The exhibition explores feelings of burnout, inadequacy and even uselessness experienced by a large part of the emerging generation, while seeking to uncover beauty in the catastrophic and bizarre reality of existence. Humour and irony become defence mechanisms to keep us from going mad.
