Jiří Příhoda (* 1966) is a sculptor moving on the thin line between object and architecture. His monumental works often use new technologies and materials, which the author takes from industrial production. Initial shapes and functions of his objects help to create a futuristic atmosphere. The exhibition in the interiors and exteriors of the Troja Castle brings a combination of old and brand new realizations and builds on last year's successful project of Václav Cigler, who first covered these two distinct territories which this Baroque villa and its magnificent gardens offer.
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
