Jana Bernartová: I Clean My Screen Every Day
Curator: Jozef Cseres
30. 04. 2026 – 13. 06. 2026
Jana Bernartová’s exhibition presents an inquiry into her long-standing interest in the aesthetic paradoxes arising from the coexistence of analogue and digital representations of reality. It focuses on the mutability of perception and visuality, and on moments of surprise emerging at their threshold.
The installation includes a series of large-format prints and a carpet whose pattern originates from a communication error. The elongated, rounded shape of the prints references the design of a smartphone, while the carpet functions as a spatial intervention balancing horizontal and vertical planes, physical touch and simulated perception.
Bernartová develops situations in which everyday digital habits transform into aesthetic experience. Imperfection, traces of touch on the screen, and visual artefacts become sources of visual value, opening a space of imagination where reality and digital structures interweave.

Lukáš Novák: Silica
Curator: Michal Štoch
22. 04. 2026 – 31. 05. 2026
Silica presents the work of Lukáš Novák, who develops glass as an autonomous medium carrying memory, time, and meaning. The Kodl Contemporary project traces a shift in his practice towards a broader investigation of material transformation and processes of becoming.
The title refers to silicon as the fundamental component of glass, while also evoking a deeper, geological dimension of matter. Glass is not understood as a finished object, but as a substance in constant motion, shaped by pressure, layering, and sedimentation.
The Design Gallery: Liquid Tension
Byoungchan Yun, Lucie Jindrák Skřivánková
22.01/2026 – 03/05/2026
Liquid Tension brings together the work of Byoungchan Yun and Lucie Jindrák Skřivánková, who operate within different media and cultural contexts, yet share a common space defined by the tension between form and fluidity. The project emerges as a dialogue between two approaches to material—design and painting—and develops a relationship between control and spontaneity, structure and autonomy.
Both artists draw inspiration from each other’s environments, extending their collaboration beyond aesthetics into questions of exchange and mutual perception.
A central motif is the reinterpretation of the traditional Korean moon jar. The glass form designed by Yun interacts with Skřivánková’s painting, created without direct brushwork, through gravity and chance. The resulting works emphasize processuality and instability of form. Liquid Tension thus articulates tension as a fundamental principle, understood as a productive space of encounter.
