Myths are not dead. At a time of growing uncertainty, an accelerated pace and an abundance of information, Myth once again becomes a means of understanding the world and an escape into symbolic structures. The exhibition responds to the current phenomenon of turning away from reality to mythical thinking in an artistic, and the broader social context. Ten prominent Czech and German artists reflect, in their distinctive visual language, on the disillusionment of not only the young generation, and their escape into the world of social networks, virtual reality or addictions, opening the gates to the realm of fantasy, symbolism and inner experiences. Along the way they ask questions about meaning and values in challenging times, and draw attention to subliminal social movements that can be a harbinger of larger, more momentous changes.
