As part of Prague Art Week (PAW), two guided
exhibition tours will take place. The program will begin with a tour of the Jindřich
Chalupecký Award exhibition, accompanied by this year’s laureates and
curators Tereza Jindrová and Veronika Čechová. This will be followed by a
guided tour of the Kinke Kooi exhibition, led by the artist herself
together with curators Barbora Ciprová and Veronika Čechová.
Both guided tours
will be held in Czech.
After the
tours, there will be a one-hour artist talk titled Listening Body
– a conversation with artist Kinke Kooi in dialogue with curators Veronika
Čechová and Bára Ciprová.
This year’s international guest of CJCH is renowned Dutch artist Kinke Kooi. Together with the curators, they will explore the feminist dimension of her artistic practice – a practice unafraid to draw on softness, sensuality, and a visual language of care, ornament, and femininity.
In her detailed drawings reminiscent of baroque opulence, Kooi reclaims decorative elements as sources of power and meaning. Her works create a universe where care is not a weakness but a form of resistance, where beauty is not superficial but political, and where the female experience is not marginal but central.
