Memory of Touch — Chapter I

share

Kunsthalle Praha

Memory of Touch, an exhibition unfolding across two successive chapters, is the first major exploration of the Kunsthalle Praha Collection. It treats the collection as an open and evolving entity and sets historical, post-war, and contemporary works in dialogue with invited artists from the Czech scene, allowing their ideas and attitudes to open the collection outward and generate new resonances. These dialogues are taking place in a time that rewards control, certainty, conflict, and immaculate surfaces – a cultural landscape that celebrates efficiency and visibility while concealing what is unguarded, tentative, and imperfect. The exhibition offers a quiet counterpoint to such imperatives, turning our gaze towards fragility and vulnerability – not as shortcomings but as gestures of resilience. Being open and remaining exposed to risk is not a weakness; it is a conscious choice to be present. From this position of sensitivity, we enter the collection through a non-chronological constellation of moments, impressions, and echoes.
