In what ways can the current theme of fragility be reflected in contemporary art? Which artists suggest in their work the interrelationships between the body and the changing balance of nature? And what links together the works of Louise Bourgeois, Alina Szapocznikow, Maria Bartuszová and Geta Brătescu, which are located in the Hall No 4 as a kind of “exhibition within an exhibition”?

Join us for the first guided tour of the fragilités exhibition with its co-curator Elena Sorokina on Thur, October 20 at 6:00 pm. Admission is free.

The guided tour will be held in English.
