Accompanying publication to the exhibition at the Gočár Gallery in Pardubice (October 4, 2025 – February 22, 2026)
How should architecture be exhibited today, and what is the significance and contribution of these exhibitions? Forty Czech and foreign theorists, curators, architects, and artists who have been dealing with this topic for a long time offer different answers to these questions. Readers will find different approaches not only in the texts, but also in specific installations at the exhibition of the same name at the Gočár Gallery in Pardubice.
Theorists and architects were invited to participate in the exhibition and this publication by aesthetician and art historian Dan Merta, who from 2001 to 2022 headed the Jaroslav Fragner Gallery of Architecture in Prague, which is also featured in the book.
