The House of Art of the City of Brno presents paintings, monumental installations, photographs, and architectural projects in three new exhibitions in the main building at Malinovského Square. The exhibitions of Milan Houser, Robert V. Novák, and the duo of architects David Kraus and Svatopluk Sládeček will open to the public on Wednesday and will last until May 1, the House of Art announced in press releases today.
Painter Houser primarily exhibits the installation "Color Meter" - a massive block of red vertical threads leading from the skylight to the floor. According to the gallery representatives, Houser created a regular grid of thin colored "stalactites," formed by the natural dripping of dye and varnish with an unusual use of gravity as an artistic medium. The eight-meter "waterfall of color" took three months to create. The installation on the first floor of the House of Art is complemented on the sides by monochromatic surfaces - "eyes" of circular formats.
In the Jaroslav Král Gallery, visitors will find photographs by Robert V. Novák, known more as a graphic designer. He selected images from the cycles Musaion, Landscape, From the History of Art, and Fragments of a Detective Story.
The offerings of the House of Art of the City of Brno are complemented by the exhibition "In the Head of the Architect," which was co-created by Kraus and Sládeček. The exhibition consists of a selection of buildings that Sládeček admires in Kraus's work and vice versa. Thus, according to the gallery representatives, a spatial collage was created, which is also a probe into the minds of both architects.
