German Art in the Border Regions: Then and Now
27. 06. 2026 - 04. 10. 2026
Gallery of Fine Arts in Náchod / Náchod
“Glitch” didn’t originally mean a malfunction. It was a slang term for a slippery spot—a point where data slips, loses its balance for a second, and then regains it immediately.
Upstairs in the hall, there are drawings and paintings created by four hands: Jan and his four-year-old son Gabriel working on a single sheet of paper. One creates chaos, the other draws a grid by hand; the paint runs down and finishes the work for both of them. There’s no going back—the paper has no undo.
Downstairs in the vault of the former municipal savings bank is the same grid, twenty meters long. It’s our new mural on Československého exilu Street in Modřany—a colorful surface that, at first glance, looks like an abstract composition. It isn’t. 36 sheets of paper, 5 framed glitches, 2 canvases, a 25-meter model of the wall, a mural manual, and 3 rounds of design development for TSK.
Curator Martin Dostál will guide you through the exhibition and explain the context of the individual works as well as the art of Jan Dyntera.
