Words of Dalibor Chatrný

Hosted at the Brno House of Arts (Dům umění), the retrospective exhibition 'Words of Dalibor Chatrný' serves as a major tribute to the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth. The exhibition, which opens with a public vernissage on April 28, 2026, runs until June 7. Curated by Alena Pomajzlová, it highlights a specific segment of the artist's extensive oeuvre created between 1925 and 2012.

The collection specifically examines Chatrný’s 'word works,' pieces that investigate linguistic issues and the conscious relationship between the act of reading and the act of seeing. Unlike many conceptual artists of his era, Chatrný’s work in this field is noted for preserving the traditional craft of painting, characterized by expressive authorial gestures and a distinct use of color. This event is part of a larger spring exhibition block at the venue, coinciding with another international showcase on the history of video art.
