13/8 2025, 17:00 The Stanislav Kolíbal 100 exhibition is a reminder of the artist’s upcoming 100th birthday, which he will celebrate in December. The exhibition is planned to run until at least February of next year and its composition will be renewed during its run in order to present Kolíbal’s works as widely as possible. The exhibition and its evolving form will be presented by the curator, Jan Skřivánek. Stanislav Kolíbal (* 1925) is one of the most significant figures of Czech post-war art. In the context of world art, one can find parallels in his work to American minimalism and Italian arte povera, but his work grows from different roots and develops in the spirit of its own internal logic. Kolíbal, as demonstrated by his book illustrations and early works, is a sovereign draughtsman and model maker, but since the 1960s, questions of geometry and space have been central to his drawings and sculptures. The core of his work, however, is not form in itself but the tension between order and chance, duration and transience, being and emptiness. The guided tour will be held in Czech.

10/8 2025, 17:00 Eliška Rožátová, painter, draughtswoman, glass artist, author of architectural realisations and free sculptural objects, is one of the distinctive and authentic artists who entered the art scene in the early 1960s. She is most often mentioned in connection with the circle of glass artists, but she is also an excellent painter with a unique sense of colour and an unmistakable pictorial manner. She is also an artist gifted with the courage to experiment, which manifests itself in her search for new techniques in the creation of mosaics, in her innovative approach to glass sculpture, and in her contemporary paintings, in which she treats classical painting techniques as freely as she treats glass. The exhibition at the Museum Kampa is a continuation of the monograph published by JB Publishing in 2024 and presents a representative selection of the artist’s lifelong œuvre. It focuses on the innovative work with glass, with reference to the Neo-Expressionist wave of the 1980s, and contemporary painting; two glass tables will be created especially for the terrace space, and the Narušená struktura (Disturbed Structure) from 1989 will be reinstalled there. Guided tour will be held in Czech.

22/7 2025, 18:00 This exhibition is part of a series of exhibitions dedicated by Museum Kampa to the themes, aspects, and contexts of the work of František Kupka. The last in the series was the 2017 exhibition Neighbours in Art: Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp- Villon, Jacques Villon and František Kupka, and in 2018, on the centenary of the founding of the Republic, the exhibition František Kupka: Legionnaire and Patriot. This year’s exhibition will present the artist’s work during the “golden age” of satirical magazines. Although Kupka is primarily known as one of the first to step towards non-figurative art, his satirical work, at first glance diametrically opposed to his later concepts, is in many aspects a substantial part of the artist’s oeuvre. ýstava představuje Kupkovu kritickou kresbu v širším kontextu tehdejší pařížské a mezinárodní scény a poukazuje na různorodost i aktuálnost témat, která satirická kresba zpracovávala před více než sto lety. The exhibition presents Kupka’s critical drawings within the broader context of the Parisian and international art scene of the time, highlighting the diversity and continued relevance of the themes addressed by satirical illustration more than a century ago. The guided tour will be held in Czech.
