After a short introduction, we’ll dive into the two exhibitions and then continue our reflections over coffee across the river.

Kateřina Vincourová dismantles order with subtle precision, using everyday materials and negative space to expose what is fragile, ephemeral, and often unseen. In her drawings and installations, absence becomes presence: voids transform into fields of projection and tension, while open structures blur boundaries between object and environment. Her work interrogates the “architecture of relationships,” revealing identity as a shifting interplay between private memory and collective narrative, intimacy and ideology.

For Designblok Protected content , British photographer Mary McCartney presents her work to the Czech public for the first time in Mary McCartney: STRIKING by PLAYCE, curated by Martina Lowe at the Loggia of Galerie Rudolfinum. Conceived for the festival’s 27th edition, whose theme is Courage, the exhibition celebrates the strength of the female figure in both physical and emotional dimensions. Spanning three decades, McCartney’s selection blends iconic and lesser-known works that reflect personal stories, relationships, and atmospheres, inviting viewers to engage as both silent witnesses and participants.
