Lost in the Moment That Follows: The Ovidiu Șandor Collection Exhibition at Kunsthalle Praha

This exhibition presents the first large-scale presentation of the Romanian art scene in the Czech Republic, featuring nearly 150 works by 79 artists from the Ovidiu Șandor Collection. Structured into five thematic chapters, it explores identity, nature, space, the body, and memory through various artistic media.

Titled 'Lost in the Moment That Follows,' this exhibition draws inspiration from André Breton's quote and delves into the relationship between past, present, and future. It is the Czech Republic's first extensive display of Romanian art, featuring approximately 150 works from the collection of Ovidiu Șandor, a Romanian collector and philanthropist. The exhibition is curated by Tevž Logar and is divided into five thematic chapters: identity, nature, space, the body, and memory. It encompasses a broad historical scope, from early twentieth-century avant-garde works by artists like Constantin Brâncuși and Victor Brauner to contemporary pieces by Mircea Cantor and Ciprian Mureșan. The collection emphasizes Romanian art that reflects on recent history and cultural identity, featuring a diverse range of media including painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, photography, and video. Three invited artists – Alex Mirutziu, Ciprian Mureşan, and Dan Perjovschi – contributed new commissions to engage in a dialogue with the existing collection and the exhibition space.

Please note that the exhibition ends on Sunday, September 10, 2023, one day sooner than originally announced due to partial reconstruction of Gallery 3. Specific ticketing information beyond this date adjustment is not provided on this page; visitors are advised to check the official website for further details regarding admission or booking when planning their visit, especially given the temporary end date adjustment.
