Silent Spring explores the relationship between humans and nature through works of art from approximately the 1930s to the beginning of normalization.
The project focuses on the search for organic abstract forms in sculptural works, which first appeared particularly in surrealism before World War II and later in the plastics of the 1960s. It takes its name from the influential book by Rachel Carson, which first described the consequences of pesticide use on the environment. The exhibition primarily focuses on Czechoslovak sculpture of this period in the broader context of Central Europe. It traces the ways in which the art of the so-called first and second modernity, divided by World War II, is interconnected. From a contemporary perspective, the phenomenon of organic abstraction is also linked to today's eco-futuristic questions: Will life as we know it still be possible tomorrow? The current dimension of this reflection will be highlighted by interventions from contemporary female artists. Nearly 100 works of art by more than 40 authors will be presented from the collections of the National Gallery in Prague, complemented by works from regional galleries and foreign institutions from Poland, Slovakia, and Germany, which have not yet appeared in domestic exhibitions.
