Surfaces & Spaces
18. 4. – 15. 7. 2026
curator: Markéta Žáčková
Galerie Lázně, Masarykova 723/14, Liberec
The exhibition presents works by students and graduates of two studios at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology – Drawing and Printmaking Studio and Spatial Design Studio. A dialogue emerges between the two groups of works, in which spatial thinking intersects with approaches that extend far beyond the level of the flat surface.
Spatial Design Studio works with forms ranging from sculptural objects through installations, kinetic and audiovisual works to site-specific interventions. A shared feature of the presented works is an emphasis on material experience, the physical presence of the artwork in space, and work with movement, sound, light, and time, as well as a sensitive relationship to the context in which the works are created and to the environments for which they are intended or in which they may appear.
Drawing and Printmaking Studio approaches both media as an open field in which artists are free to move without being constrained by their anchoring in tradition. Drawing thus often transcends the notion of the flat surface and functions as an autonomous statement, a record of gesture, an intervention into material, and a tool for analysing space, the body, or spatial situations.

The exhibited works oscillate between delicacy and destruction, between record and object, between surface and its transformation into a spatial or installation element. From different perspectives, they consistently confront and test today’s post-digital condition, pushing it through the filter of manual labour, thereby questioning and slowing it down. The result of this confrontation across media and disciplines is a disruption of established categories, with an emphasis on their permeability and fluidity: the dialogue between surface and space thus also touches on the changing nature of our relationship to the image in the broadest sense and on the constant interaction between our assumptions and immediate perception.
