(UN)KNOWN
Tomáš Hlavička & Petra Hřebačková
They are well known. Just not here.
The exhibition explores the paradox of Czech glass.
Artists known around the world, yet only now being discovered at home.
Intergenerational Dialogue
Tomáš Hlavička treats glass like architecture.
He layers it, encloses it, leaves tension within.
Sheets of precious metals fused inside are not merely an effect. They are his signature..
Petra Hřebáčková takes the opposite approach.
Silence, delicacy, a balance between fragility and control.
Glass that appears effortless, but is anything but.
Why the Dancing House?
A place where architecture is not a static backdrop, but an active partner.
Glass is not merely displayed here. It is confronted.
The Dancing House refuses to behave politely.
That is precisely why it creates the ideal contrast for a material that appears fragile at first glance, yet in reality holds firm.
A space that refuses to leave you indifferent.
And neither does the glass within it.
