Kateřina Vincourová's exhibition 'Skin Care' transforms the gallery space into a journeying landscape. Her work critically comments on contemporary society through utopian and dystopian worlds, exploring the cyclical nature of existence and the interconnectedness of things.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Skin Care' by Kateřina Vincourová transforms the Galerie Rudolfinum into a conceptual landscape, inviting visitors on a journey through interconnected spaces. Vincourová integrates her surroundings into site-specific spatial drawings and installations, which serve as critical commentary on contemporary society, exploring utopian and dystopian worlds. The arrangement of the exhibition spaces in a circular, permeable fashion emphasizes the cyclical nature of all things, embodying destruction and rebirth. Central to Vincourová's artistic practice is her exploration of the relationship between the individual's subjective introspection and broader cultural and societal paradigms. She investigates the "architecture of relationships"—structures that are not merely physical but also relational, symbolic, and ideological. Her work accentuates the tension between personal patterns and societal narratives, creating a space for shared experience where memory and emotional resonance intertwine with collective experience. The exhibition highlights the porous nature of identity and its formation within dynamic personal and social contexts.

Admission and ticket notes

Admission to the exhibition is voluntary. Last entry is permitted 30 minutes before closing. Visitors who do not have enough time to see the exhibition can return at another time.
