Exhibitions planned for 2027

Ján Gašparovič, Lucia Gašparovičová, Matej Gavula, Simona Novická, Erik Pánči, Martin Toldy

  • Group show
  • Curator: Lucia Gavulová
  • Dates: January – February 2027
  • Size: LARGE

The exhibition concept does not treat artificial intelligence as a technological topic, but rather as a metaphor for the mental infrastructure of contemporary artistic thought. It connects the landscape—as a cultural, ecological, psychological, media-related, and sociological phenomenon—with the prompt, as a new unit of knowledge production. The selection of artists highlights an artistic interest in the subtle, often overlooked qualities of reality and in the pursuit of knowledge itself—whether through artistic research or by integrating scientific findings into that process.

Touching the Instant

  • Alexandra Surovková, Veronika Šavarová, Michaela Šuranská, Veronika Žilinská
  • Curator: Viktória Pardovičová
  • Dates: March – April 2027
  • Size: MEDIUM

In this project, the four artists focus on spaces of transition, emptying, and fragmentation, or on virtual spacetime that transforms the physical boundaries of corporeality. Places of shifting identity and interfaces constantly reconfigured by digital code encounter moments of disintegration and a landscape that remembers the different forms of its own terrain. Reflections on space and temporality draw on familiar concepts such as heterotopia, non-place, and the phenomenon of “backrooms.” The distinct languages of painting, drawing, and video are linked by a sensitivity to both the sensory and philosophical aspects of transience and intimacy, as well as the tension between physical banality and the unsettling poetics of virtuality. The title refers to the fleetingness and speed of a moment or perception, as a reflection shaped by an assemblage of accumulating realities or the flow of online content.

Everything Is Content. Even This Exhibition

  • Marcel Korec in collaboration with Lukáš Karaba and Lukáš Sobota
  • Curator: Lukáš Sobota
  • Dates: March – April 2027
  • Size: SMALL

Through this installation and a series of prints, we observe how tragedies, political scandals, and economic uncertainty are transformed into memes, slogans, and viral entertainment. The face of a dead criminal, an AI song about corruption, and a cake with a timer all highlight the speed with which a crisis loses its context and begins to function as content. The exhibition reflects on the mechanisms of media circulation, in which humor serves as a coping mechanism while simultaneously fueling the constant cycle of attention, consumption, and gradual forgetting.

Feral domesticities

  • Maria Jančová, Matěj Liška
  • Curator: Flóra Gadó
  • Dates: May 2027
  • Size: LARGE

Feral domesticities explores dwelling as a precarious condition of coexistence between human and non-human actors. The exhibition questions whether care, cultivation and relationality can ever escape forms of control. Through two divergent artistic practices and a speculative exhibition architecture, it examines friction, dependency, resistance and mutual transformation, asking whether we can cultivate forms of dwelling without domesticating those with whom we share them.

Tears of the Sun

  • Denis Kozerawski
  • Dates: June – July 2027
  • Size: LARGE

Denis Kozerawski’s dissertation exhibition explores how game engines, CGI, and VFX can articulate the Roma minority’s experience with the invisible infrastructure of segregation. At its core is a video game developed at FAVU in Brno, based on participatory research with the community and intended as an educational tool for schools. It is accompanied by a docu-fiction film that draws a parallel between this infrastructure and climate collapse: two manifestations of the same relationship to difference. The venue is a black box theater.

Síla tří

  • Viktorie Langer, Ondřej Petrlík, Hana Garová
  • Curator: Silvia L. Čúzyová
  • Dates: July – August 2027
  • Size: LARGE

Langer, Petrlík, and Garová represent a generation that is rediscovering archetypal images, imagination, and the mythological dimension of painting. Their work can be understood as part of a broader movement in Central European painting—a return to intuitive and imaginative painting that serves as a counterbalance to the rationalized, digital, and analytical world. Contemporary Czech and Slovak painting often balances between abstraction and figuration. Artists do not want to abandon the body or form, but at the same time, they do not want to return to pure realism. All three artists draw upon a language that transcends purely realistic depiction. They employ symbolic or dreamlike forms that allude to archaic, universal themes—nature, the body, ritual, and the inexpressible. Their works exist in the space “in between”—the body, nature, and the symbol never remain static but transform fluidly. They are not concerned with depicting reality, but with visually encoding hidden energies. For them, painting is a process, not a static image—it functions as a living, moving organism. They are united by the need to renew the symbolic language of painting.

Maja Štefančíková

  • Dates: August – September 2027

Again

  • Andrej Kiripolsky, Ribka M. Pattinama Coleman, Tilda Lundbohm, Maria Nadia Nour
  • Curator: Doris Sisková
  • Dates: September – October 2027
  • Size: LARGE

Again begins from a simple premise: order has to be produced repeatedly. Systems are reformed, closed or reconstructed, yet the habits and power relations that sustain them often return in altered form. Across colonial inheritance, institutional care, language, voice and industrial transition, the exhibition traces how repetition makes authority ordinary, while also carrying knowledge, memory and forms of survival.

Stredomorie ako politická geografia

  • Elena Bellantoni
  • Curator: Lýdia Pribišová
  • Dates: November 2027
  • Size: MEDIUM

The exhibition will present a selection of works by Italian artist Elena Bellantoni, all of which explore the political geographies of the southern countries of the Mediterranean region. Throughout her long-standing artistic practice, Bellantoni has viewed the Mediterranean Sea as a political body—a place where the histories of migration, social struggles, gender inequalities, and collective memory converge. It maps the relationships between landscape, body, and community, with the body and the collective voice becoming vehicles for political experience and instruments of resistance. The exhibition will feature four projects: Maremoto, On the Breadline, Ruinate, and If there was light it would be beautiful.

WEAPON. HOME. LANDSCAPE

  • Artists: Olya Kobryn, Kateryna Pokora, Anastasia Trykoz, Illia Turyhin, Khrystyna Silivon, Anastasia Ion, Iryna Pryakhina, Sophia Kozlova, Stanislav Semenjuk, Alyona Korchan
  • Curators: Daryna Skrynnyk-Myska and Mychajlo Barabaš from the Department of Contemporary Art Practices at the Lviv National Academy of Arts

The exhibition is the result of intensive communication between the Photography, Reality, Construction Studio (Jana Hojstričová), the Department of Art Theory and History (Beata Jablonská), and the Department of Contemporary Art Practices ( Daryna Skrynnyk-Myska , Mykhaylo Barabash) and several years of mutual cooperation between the International Relations Department of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Kseniia Rozhal Lytvynenko) and the partner schools: the Academy of Fine Arts and the Lviv National Academy of Arts. The concept of the exhibition is based on a selection of works by students studying at the Department of Contemporary Art Practices, curated by teachers Daryna Skrynnyk-Myska and Mykhaylo Barabash, so that the experience of a war-torn country is spread through art as an authentic message and an urgent message.

Finally Landing

  • Artists: Trin Alt, Morgane Billuart, Nanna Kaiser, Ida Kamerloch, Hanna Kučera, Sebastian Koeck, Charly Mirambeau, Jonas Morgenthaler
  • Accompanying program: Ado/Aptive- Janina Weißengruber and Daniel Hüttler, Hanna Kučera and Mira Samonig
  • Curator: Teuta Jonuzi

Finally Landing is an exhibition tracing the afterlife of objects as they move across emotional, economic, and symbolic borders. What gets carried, replicated, or left behind? Where memory holds onto souvenirs, costumes, and furniture, forming a shifting, temporary and mutating archive of longing, loss, and transformation. And finally, If the archive exists as something we keep to reminisce, what then is the future we construct out of the remnants?

Slash and Burn

  • Artists: Roberta Andrášková, Filip Bielek, Tomáš Červinka, Michal Golák, Martin Hrvol, Anka Mihoková, Simona Novická, Samuel Šošovička, Anabela Ralbovská, Juraj Rattaj
  • Curator: Adam Galko
  • Exhibition Concept: Lucia Čarnecká, Alexandra Smolková

The Slash and Burn exhibition explores the tension between renewal and loss, between anticipation of the new and the threat of emptiness. It moves in the space after the "fire" – between traces of destruction and hints of new forms. Its aim is to publicly present, after a long hiatus, a thematically coherent cross-section of the current work of students and graduates of the Department of Sculpture, Object, Installation at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design. The selected works will be complemented by a selection from an open call targeting current students of the department.

Homes

  • Artists: Trin Alt, Ester Gašparová
  • Curator: Olívia Ondreičková

The exhibition explores the home as a space of tension and refuge at the same time. Public, from which we are separated, and private, which we transform with our own gestures. Hard interventions are mixed with gentle touches, rough lines with delicate details. In contrast and harmony, it reveals that home is not a constant certainty, but a changing space where the ordinary intertwines with the unique, intimacy with distance, presence with absence.

IN NATURAL HABITAT: Mirroring of Dreams

  • Artist: Lena Gallovičová
  • Curator: Lucia Gavulová

Mirroring Of Dreams is an environment/site-specific installation/original scenography by artist Lena Gallovič, created for the Medium Gallery. The author composes images and scenes according to an intuitive key, working with attributes of eternity (dried flowers, old furniture, historic objects, mirrors). The environment of objects, images, and natural materials will include large-format photographs, which are not hung on the walls but are composed in various other ways into a whole that overgrows the gallery space. In times of crisis of futurality, everything old that he brings to the gallery can also be understood as a specific approach to the future, which can be examined as something that will no longer happen, and at the same time as a valuable contribution to the issue of the archaeology of the future.

Anatomical Venus

  • Artist: Ľudmila Bubánová
  • Curator: Eleonora Bojanowska

Anatomical Venus is an exhibition using textiles as both medium and testimony. It features hand-crafted objects made from garments once belonging to women close to me—my grandmother, mother, sister, and friends. Reworked into sculptural, suspended silhouettes arranged in a circle, they evoke intimacy, shared memory, and invisible bonds of care and sisterhood.

Hard to Cut a Garden in Half 2

  • Artists: Kristína Bukovčáková, Jakub Navrátil
  • Curator: Marianna Brinzová

Hard to Cut a Garden in Half 2 presents the work of Kristína Bukovčáková and Jakub Navrátil, who share an interest in the medium of painting, generational kinship, shared space, and a personal relationship. In her colorful, narrative, and at times surreal paintings, Bukovčáková addresses themes of climate grief and environmental crisis. Navrátil, on the other hand, is more restrained in the colors and themes of his paintings, which tend to be minimalist and introspective, exploring individual starting points, structures, and sections.

Capitalist Romanticism

  • Artists: Collective MONIKA
  • Curator: Vikória Citráková

The exhibition CAPITALIST ROMANTICISM is conceived as a triptych of large-scale projections divided into three thematic lines—burnout, resort tourism, and spa culture. Through the exhibition, it critically examines the way capitalism transforms rest, relaxation, and leisure into commodities. It reflects on the crisis of individual strategies for rest, healing, and our relationship to work. It asks: what space needs to be created so that we can lie down—and at least imagine the act of surrender?
