“New Narratives" as the subject matter of contemporary art history have influenced the creative strategies of many artists for years. The Hungarian art historian Lo'ra'nd Hegyi (currently the director of the Modern Art Gallery in St Etienne) chose this subject as the main idea of the exhibition concept of contemporary Italian art. Presented by the curator and twelve artists, “New Narratives" feature the search and discovery of various mini and micro stories, which replace the great narratives of earlier art history. The exhibition begins with the paintings of natural narrators of the Italian Transavantgarde, Sandro Chia and Mimmo Paladino, and finishes with the works of the youngest artists who successfully reveal confusions and visual “errors" of everyday reality in an ironic and provocative manner.

Jindřich Štreit. Photography 1965-2005
Calendars for Jindra Štreit
SNG Esterha'zy Palace, 2nd and 3rd floors

Curator: Toma'š Pospěch
Curator: Aurel Hrabušický

The significance of Jindřich Štreit, the leading figure of Czech photography, has long reached beyond the national framework. The artist’s work can be found in numerous major collections of photography (Museum of Modern Art, New York, Art Institute of Chicago, Bibliothe'que Nationale, Paris and others). His collection of photographs from North Moravia is considered to be the “most detailed pictorial study of countryside at the time of real socialism" (Toma'š Pospěch).
The twin exhibition presents a survey of Štreit’s oeuvre in parallel with artistic interpretations of his photographs from wall calendars created by leading Czech and Slovak artists.
