The exhibition of Milan Kunc, one of the most established Czech artists of the second half of the twentieth century, will present a thematic overview of his work from the late 1970s to the present. The selection of works and their installation will focus on the dichotomy between the politically active stance of Kunc's thinking and his references to lowbrow genres, motifs, and, to some extent, his exclusive artistic signature, as well as their mutual synthesis, creating a specific update of the current state of the world. This world, much like the artist’s dichotomous artistic strategies, is far from straightforward and is full of traps and temptations toward simplifying interpretations that skim the surface of his endlessly produced representations and presentations of urgent issues that we, as a world, must confront every day.
