Preparations for the exhibition, made in collaboration with the David Lynch Studio in LA, Pace Gallery and Item éditions in Paris, and most importantly the artist himself, were interrupted by the news of the artist's sudden death on 16 January 2025. Unfortunately, the Up in Flames exhibition project will not take place on the original April date. The new date of the exhibition will be announced soon.
The exhibition of the American artist David Lynch, Up in Flames, will for the first time present the artistic work of this icon of world cinema in the Czech Republic, focusing on drawings, photography, lithographs, watercolours, and short experimental and animated films. The exhibition will introduce visitors to works from all of the artist’s creative periods, meaning from the late 1960s to the present.
The exhibition is not designed chronologically, but will follow specific formal or thematic connections that, among other things, characterise David Lynch's work. A major part of the exhibition consists of works on loan directly from the David Lynch Studio in Los Angeles, but the project will also include many works (lithographs and photographs) created at Item éditions in Paris. Up in Flames will also offer a wide range of accompanying programmes focusing in particular on film, contemporary experimental music, and literature.

Point of View 3: Balance

The work of Czech and foreign artists reveals the various connections between nature and technology - two seemingly disparate environments to which we intrinsically belong today, even though we perceive a certain tension between them.
