Exhibition summary

Curatorial context

The mk² exhibition is a permanent display that captures the essence of Museum Kampa's collection, established by collector and patron Meda Mládek. Meda Mládek, along with her husband Jan, consistently supported non-conformist artists from the Eastern Bloc, amassing a significant collection that includes works by František Kupka and post-war Czech and Central European art. Her curatorial interest spanned both figuration and abstraction, prioritizing artistic quality over stylistic categorization. This varied 'tasting' of artworks presents paintings and sculptures by leading figures of the Czech unofficial scene of the 1960s to 1980s, such as Adriena Šimotová, Karel Nepraš, and Stanislav Kolíbal. It also includes works by exiled artists like Ludmila Seefried-Matějková and Zbyněk Sekal, regional artists such as Jindřich Boška and František Dörfel, and notable contemporary artists including Jan Merta, Petr Veselý, and Josef Achrer. The exhibition forms a lively, stylistically diverse structure that reveals the breadth and internal connections of the Czech art scene. The mk² exhibition aims to honor Meda Mládek's legacy and inspire visitors to explore the main Museum Kampa in Prague.
