The exhibition Should I take my shoes off? at MeetFactory Gallery transforms its industrial space into an imaginary apartment unit and, through the works of Alice Nikitinová, Hana Puchová, and Jan Kostohryz, explores home as a mutable stage where the material inventory, spatial layout, and gestures of everyday objects create a familiar field of situations oscillating between shared closeness and retreat into solitude. Each artwork assumes a dual role: it shapes the factual, material structure of the flat while simultaneously forming its “human” layer, where relational scenarios unfold—recognisable to anyone who has ever shared a kitchen table, savoured holiday quiet, or endured the chaos of moving. In their still lifes and situational scenes, the selected painters map—at a slow, voyeuristic tempo—shared human rituals of care, memory, and intimacy. The exhibition thus seeks to present visitors with a space that feels deceptively familiar yet unexpectedly new, where nostalgia intertwines with contemporaneity, the ephemerality of time with a longing for permanence, and subtle references arise to the everyday humorous situations we have all experienced, or are currently experiencing, in our own dwellings.
