13 – 26 Sep 2021 | The exhibition The Czech Electronic Picture – Inner Sources was prepared in 1994 by the Association of Video and Intermedia at UVU and curated by Jaroslav Vančát. The current on-line exhibition is an attempt to reconstruct selected parts of one of the first significant presentations of Czech video art. The opening night of the series will take place at the Ponrepo cinema on September 13th 2021 at 6 p.m.

27 Sep – 10 Oct 2021 | The first generation of students who studied video art and related fields at Czech art universities had to try everything out for themselves. The exhibition will introduce works by students at three schools from the mid-1990s, all of which started new media studios independently of each other: FAMU, FaVU, and AVU.

11 – 24 Oct 2021 | The exhibition follows various forms of moving image that accentuate the critical and self-reflexive potential of media art. The burden of proof is inverted with increasing regularity in relation to the digital image and contemporary technology. Mediated reality becomes argumented reality.

This publication, which is to be published in 2023, is dedicated to a critical assessment of the practice of the moving image in the Czech art world from the 1970s to the first decade of this century.

You can find works from the NFA Video Archive regularly presented at significant festivals or in various galleries.

The Prague City Gallery is currently presenting the first large-scale exhibition of the works of Jan Jedlička both in the Czech Republic and internationally. The exhibition includes screenings of his video pieces and accompanying programmes at the Ponrepo cinema.
