Memory of Touch — Chapter II

share

Kunsthalle Praha

Memory of Touch, an exhibition unfolding in two chapters, inaugurates the first major exploration of the Kunsthalle Praha Collection. Instead of treating the collection as a fixed and closed entity, it sets historical, post-war, and contemporary works in dialogue with invited Czech artists, allowing their ideas and attitudes to open the collection outward and generate new resonances. Memory of Touch unfolds 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. Against such imperatives, the exhibition offers a quiet counterpoint, turning our gaze toward fragility and vulnerability—not as shortcomings, but as gestures of resilience. To be open, to remain permeable in the face of risk, is not weakness; it is a conscious form of presence and action. From this sensibility, we enter the collection not as a linear chronology, but as a constellation of moments, impressions, and echoes.
