Exhibitions in the Institute
The gallery of the Institute of Macromolecular
Chemistry in Prague has introduced many Czech and foreign
authors to the public during more than thirty years of its
existence. It still ranks among significant Prague galleries.
First exhibitions were organised here in 1972.
Their independent existence on the Academy ground attracted the
authors, and the significance of the exhibitions rapidly grew. It
turned out that certain independence of the Academy of Sciences
made it possible to display also the authors who could not be
shown elsewhere due to their nonconformism or political
inconvenience. Adriena Šimotová, Karel Nepraš, Karel Malich,
Vladimír Boštík, Kurt Gebauer, Milan Knížák and many
others, whose works are nowadays shown in prominent galleries of
the world, were exhibited here in the so called normalisation
period (1970's). The impact of the exhibitions in IMC at that
time went beyond the borders of th then Czechoslovakia.
The barriers to freedom disappeared after 1989.
New themes of exhibition activity have been found in
collaboration with the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (VŠUP)
in Prague. Kurt Gebauer, the head of the Studio of Sculptory I, became a leading
spirit. In 1995, a series of exhibitions of students and
graduates of Academy
of Arts, Architecture and Design and Academy of Fine Arts
started. Collaboration with young talents mingling today with
artists has developed. Dagmar Šubrtová, a VŠUP graduate, has
taken the responsibility for exhibitions since 2000. She prepares
exhibition programmes with the aim to give an insight into free
art of contemporary young artists. The revival of exhibition
activity has recently attracted many interesting authors into
significant exhibitions and projects, which are presented here
every month.
