Last chance to visit the Lucia Moholy: Exposures exhibition!
As members of Kunsthalle Praha, you have a final opportunity to explore the Lucia Moholy: Exposures exhibition undisturbed during exclusive opening hours on Sunday, 27th October 2024, from 10:00 to 11:00.
This is your last opportunity to see Exposures, the work of the long-overlooked photographer and writer Lucia Moholy. Her first solo exhibition, Exposures, showcases over 600 photographs, microfilms, letters, articles, books, and audio recordings. You will also find installations by contemporary Czech artist Jan Tichý, responding to Moholy's still undiscovered works.
The exhibition Strange Attractions, created in collaboration between the Signal Festival and Kunsthalle Praha, features the latest works by the legendary British studio UVA – United Visual Artists.
Exposures is the first major retrospective of Prague-born photographer and publicist Lucia Moholy (1894–1989). The exhibition spans her entire professional career from the 1920s to the 1970s and showcases over 600 photographs, microfilms, letters, articles, books, and audio recordings, many of which are being presented to the public for the very first time.
This is the first project to bring together her most famous photographs taken at the influential Bauhaus school and in London, along with her work as an information scientist in Turkey and her involvement in Zurich’s art scene. Visitors will also see installations by contemporary Czech artist Jan Tichý, which respond to Moholy’s still undiscovered works, lost during her escape from the Nazi regime.
The exhibition Lucia Moholy: Exposures was created in collaboration with Fotostiftung Schweiz in Winterthur, where it will be on display in spring 2025.
Matt Clark founded the London-based art practice UVA (United Visual Artists) in 2003. UVA merges new technologies with traditional media such as sculpture, performance, and site-specific installations, drawing inspiration from sources ranging from ancient philosophy to theoretical science. The studio explores how cultural and natural phenomena influence our perception, with its works functioning more as events in time, combining light, sound, and motion.
UVA has collaborated with institutions such as the Barbican Curve Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts, the Serpentine Gallery, the Victoria & Albert Museum, YCAM in Tokyo, and the Sydney Biennale. Their work is part of the collections of Fondation Cartier and MONA. In 2023, they celebrated 20 years with the exhibition UVA: Synchronicity at 180 Studios London.
