Sacred art in the age of commerce
The exhibition follows on from the acclaimed 2022 project, which focused on Czech sacred art between 1948 and 1989. The upcoming exhibition and publication will present and evaluate works of art, architectural modifications, and new buildings in the Czech church environment since 1990, when a fundamental change in the status of churches in the Czech Republic took place, which was also significantly reflected in artistic and construction activities.
The project is based on a curatorial selection of artistically valuable works and architecture from a wide range of projects that could be created without previous restrictions during the period of freedom. It will focus on the sacred spaces of Christian churches, not only Roman Catholic, but also Czech Brethren Evangelical, Czechoslovak Hussite, and Brethren churches.
