Argišt Alaverdyan in Infinite Universes: Weary knights, Shiny Altars & Heavy gods DLC / Czech Centre Paris / January 28 – March 14, 2026 / Curated by Ondřej Trhoň Video-game influences and aesthetics are a natural part of the work of generations whose lives are inseparably bound up with digital culture. It often seems as if fantastic fragments and motifs become an aesthetic shorthand capable of evoking warm nostalgia on the one hand and a sense of mythical supernaturalness on the other. A bit of magic within a supposedly rational social system in which myths have seemingly disappeared. This exhibition emerges from that tension, yet at the same time deliberately transcends it. For art inspired by video games is most powerful when it avoids mere illustrativeness. … The digital vocabulary of Argišt Alaverdyan balances on the edge of painterly abstraction. Obvious resemblance (for instance to genre properties) gives way in favor of fundamental elements. Simple backgrounds recalling the basic canvases of 3D modeling programs or game engines are overlaid with fragmented shards of bodies—from limbs to digital chakras, some kind of force fields, to an (elven?) face emerging from a cube. He may well be suggesting that the boundary between the virtual and the real is permeable. It is a play of forms and identities, hinting at the ways in which the computer influences us while we play—and how we, in turn, influence it. Simply rendered graphic elements seem to represent a layer that manipulates all of this, a medium through which an invisible force turns the game camera.

Markéta Adamcová / Promiscuity. 18/12/2025-14/02/2026. Markéta Adamcová’s oeuvre scrutinizes themes of nature, matter, and fertility, showcasing a visceral, painterly language in which insect and human bodies transmute in intricate crossovers of growth, decay, and rebirth. In a recent series of works by Markéta Adamcová, the rhythm of brown, earthly tumbleweeds and seeds rotate and swirl. Recalling the transcience of bloom, it counters the mechanised predictability of daily life. Petals and carpels shiver; mating rituals entice bees in overflows of enzymes, promiscuous encounters in which the beauty of plants reveals nature’s mastery. Nature is beautiful—beautiful beyond comprehension. But, as Esther Leslie asks, what are the distinctions in creativity between nature and art? Is nature artistic, is she a real artist? Marks of the brush trace paths on cold surfaces and in layered dabbings; oil paint sinks into paper and the colours of soils deepen, replacing pinks and ochres. Something bulges and spills—words, rhymes—something asks to be buried. Hana Janečková (extract from the text) @adamcovamarketa #marketaadamcova @hotelo.zone photo @evarybarova_studio

Argišt Alaverdyan: Flowing Positions at NTK Gallery, 28/11/2025-07/02/2026, curated by Milan Mikulastik, opening 27/11/2025, 6 PM The icily cold images of Argišta Alaverdyan represent a variety of non-human entities and avatars, reflecting the influence of digital media and artificial intelligence on contemporary visual culture and imagination. / Ledově chladné obrazy Argišta Alaverdyana reprezentují rozmanité nelidské entity a avatary a odrážejí vliv digitálních médií a umělé inteligence na současnou vizuální kulturu a imaginaci. Milan Mikuláštík The difficult-to-identify entities that appear to float or mirror between the merging spatial dimensions in the Flowing Positions set of images can be seen as forces that connect or blur different realities. The images play with the idea of expecting new forms of reality, in which our perception can finally dissolve in endless illusions. / Složitě identifikovatelné entity, které se jeví jako proplouvající nebo zrcadlící mezi splývajícími se prostorovými dimenzemi v souboru obrazů Proudící pozice, můžeme vnímat jako síly, které propojují nebo stírají rozdílné reality. Obrazy si pohrávají s myšlenkou očekávání nových forem reality, v nichž se naše vnímání může definitivně rozplynout v nekonečných iluzích.

Masha Kovtun in An Hour from Here. The Ukrainian diaspora at UMPRUM. UMPRUM Mikulandská 13/11/2025 - 25/11/2025. Margarita Ivy w/ Bystrík Klč, Masha Kovtun, Olga Krykun, Darja Lukjanenko, Viktoriia Naumuk, Hanna Palamarchuk, Liubov Plavska, Kateryna Ruzhyna, Anna Solianyk, Viktoriia Tymonova. Curated by Darja Lukjanenko and Centrum doktorských studií UMPRUM. "The aim of the project is to capture the authentic testimony of young, artistically active students who, as a result of the current state of war, are experiencing the traumatic feelings of occupation, colonization of their country, and injustice. With varying intensity and resistance, they perceive the manipulation of concepts and experience feelings of uprootedness and individual destabilization. Some of them, with differing degrees of political activism, focus on a critical re-evaluation of Ukrainian history, language, and both national, family, and personal identity."
