WHO? WHY? Daniel Pešta

WHO? WHY? Daniel Pešta

In the last six years, the work of Daniel Pešta has been presented in visual projects at the Biennale di Arte in Venice, Italy, both in collective exhibitions and in the solo exhibition "Something Is Wrong" in the industrial spaces of the Tana Art Space gallery in 2024.

New edition

The collection of these works will be presented in the Czech Republic for the first time.

We do not study history to be condemned to its repetition, but rather because we might learn from it how to free ourselves from the constantly repeating stereotype. The era in which we were born has influenced each of us, and some things we consider unchangeable. Sometimes we forget that history is not only driven by politics, economics, or technologies, but also by our own opinions and beliefs, but above all by civic engagement.

We know and hear from all sides that human life is sacred, unique, and has immeasurable value. However, humanity tolerates and turns a blind eye to the gross violation of the right to life being broadcast live.

Pešta expresses himself, as always, in a multimedia way, from painting and watercolor to objects, installations, videos, or assemblages that are characterized by the author’s typical existential urgency. Psychological, philosophical, and political themes are the focus of his attention. The question of the future is becoming increasingly important in his work, as technology and information have given humanity unprecedented power.

Boris Kráľ. Good evening, Audrey! A celebration of women, fashion, and craftsmanship at Fashion 2000+ Moravian Gallery.

The Moravian Gallery presents another initiative from the series of contemporary fashion exhibitions. Following the projects of Liběna Rochová, Jan Černý, and Lukáš Macháček, it introduces a retrospective exhibition titled Bonsoir, Audrey! by Slovak fashion designer Boris Kráľ. For the first time, the Fashion 2000+ hall at the Museum of Applied Arts (dedicated to the exhibition of the developing collection of contemporary Czech fashion) will be devoted to a solo show. The young creator has transformed it into a distinctive installation combining fashion design and photography. On a mechanical runway, he will showcase the most significant models from his shows, from Salon de Nuit to the latest collection presented at the Expo 58 pavilion this June in Prague. The exhibition also includes a collection of behind-the-scenes photographs from the designer's shows, taken by Lena Knappova. Boris Kráľ. Bonsoir, Audrey! runs from September 25, 2026, to January 24, 2027.

Boris Brejcha will bring a techno show to the O2 Arena.

There are evenings that transform Prague into one big heart of techno. When Boris Brejcha arrives at the O2 Arena with his characteristic Venetian mask and kicks off a several-hour show that combines a monumental light scene, precise visuals, and deeper melodic tempo, the entire hall holds one single thought: what will happen in the next moment? And it is this tension of the unknown — that moment before the drop, when no one knows whether a gentle passage or an explosion of bass will come — that drives the strongest nightlife experiences in Prague. Whether it's a sold-out concert at the O2 Arena, the Signal light festival, or a marathon at the Roxy club, Prague offers that moment's tension in dozens of forms.
