Embracing Flux II [Lecture on Lidice Art Collection]

This enlightening lecture is organized as part of the accompanying program of our new exhibition, Embracing Flux II. Presented by Miloslav Vorlíček, the Curator and Registrar of the Lidice Art Collection, who is also our exhibition's curator.

Our new exhibition introduces several emerging artists whose works span a range of media from textile-based pieces to conceptual installations and reflect both personal and public spheres. Embracing Flux II invites viewers to reconsider their relationships with consumption, nature, and human connection, while exploring the intersection of digital fragmentation with the analogue world. These practices challenge us to reflect on our relationship with the Self.

The Lidice Art Collection is a solidarity-based museum collection, officially established in the 1960s by British physician and Member of Parliament Sir Barnett Stross (1899–1967).
What makes this collection unique in our country is that it consists solely of donations from artists around the world.

The core of the collection features significant works donated by renowned international artists, including Gerhard Richter, Mona Hatoum, Joseph Beuys, VALIE EXPORT, Alfredo Jaar, as well as Czech artists such as the Válová sisters and Eva Kmentová.

Miloslav Vorlíček (* 1983) is a contemporary art curator, educator, and gallerist. His curatorial work explores themes of etymology, the present, and process. He currently serves as the Curator and Registrar of the Lidice Art Collection at the Lidice Memorial, where he is also the Head of Residencies. Previously, he ran the for-profit curatorial institute lítost gallery in Prague. Miloslav holds a Master's degree in Curating Contemporary Art from the Royal College of Art in London (2014).
