What is fragile about the large plaster reliefs and objects of the Slovak sculptor Maria Bartuszová, whose work can be seen at Galerie Rudolfinum and this year also in London’s Tate Modern and at the Venice Biennale? What non-traditional material are the canvases of British-Kenyan painter Michael Armitage made of? And which artists reflect the variability of human bodies in their work?

Ask the curator Silvia Van Espen at the guided tour of the fragilités exhibition on Thur, November 3, 2022 at 6:00 pm. Admission free.

Together with the curator, Luboš Plný, one of the exhibiting artists, will also take part in the guided tour.
