"I didn't intend to collect art, but it found me on my journey and gradually enveloped me. I grew up with it, and it was impossible to get rid of it, but why would I want to shake off the layers of life that connect me to so many people and things through art? I actually bought very few of the pieces in the collection. Some come from my travels, some I exchanged, and some I received as gifts. My husband also acquired paintings in exchange for his craftsmanship. Some works remained with us after exhibitions at the Kabinet Chaos Gallery, others were forgotten by students at school and, despite reminders, were never picked up. For the occasion of this exhibition, I also asked for a few new artworks myself." Veronika Šrek Bromová

Veronika Šrek Bromová (1966) is a Czech intermedial artist with an extensive exhibition history. In 1999, she represented the Czech Republic at the prestigious 48th Venice Biennale. Her works are part of important public collections, such as the National Gallery in Prague, the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Mumok in Vienna, and GHMP in Prague. She is known for her experiments with new technologies and her deeply personal and intimate artistic expression. Her work focuses on female themes, the body, gender, family, alternative family, nature, and mythology. She lives on the Chaos estate in proximity to nature in Střítež near Polička. Here she also organises a program for the Kabinet Chaos Gallery, which focuses on professional art working with humanities and nature themes. Bromová currently lectures at Anglo American University in Prague, where she runs the Cross Media Art Studio. She is preparing a monograph entitled Autobiograf.
Ivan Šrek (1957) learned the craft of furniture restoration in Michal Řečica's studio. He gradually developed his own style in both small alternative construction projects and the creation of original furniture. In the past, he has worked on exhibition installations at the Jewish Museum in Prague and on the maintenance of the Metropolitan Chapter of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. His passion is community work and civic activism, especially in the Polička region. He lives and works with Veronika Šrek Bromová on the Chaos family estate, where he devotes himself to the production of original furniture and the restoration of historical pieces. He collaborates with the local civic political platform Otvírání Poličky (Opening Polička) on positive changes in the city and with the environmental association A21 on planting new tree lines and nature conservation.

A guided tour of the exhibition On the Wall at Home with the artist duo Tomáš Císařovský and Erika Bornová will take place on Wednesday, October 22, at 6 p.m. at the Prostora Gallery.
This home collection was created spontaneously over the course of several decades and highlights the connections between related artists, as well as an unconventional perspective on the domestic art scene. "We surround ourselves with the art of colleagues, close friends, but also more distant acquaintances, mainly because we don't want to take our work home with us. We each have one painting on our walls that we care about, also for the reason that we don't want it to be sold. The paintings and drawings came to us for various reasons. A smaller part comes from our families, most of the collection was created by exchanging our works piece by piece, we bought some directly, and with these occasional purchases, we try to support the youngest artists," says Tomáš Císařovský.
The exhibition will feature the following artists: Láďa Bartoš, Vladimír Boudník, Veronika Šrek Bromová, Josef Císařovský, Stanislav Diviš, Milena Dopitová, Filip Dvořák, Lenka Feldsteinova, Damian Giacov, David Hanvald, Emil Holárek, Bohdan Holomíček, Josef Charvát, Jiří Kovanda, Kamil Lhoták, Milena Lupitová, František Matoušek, Jan Merta, Petr Nikl, Petr Pastrňák, Viktor Pivovarov, Petr Písařík, Míla Preslová, Jaroslav Prokopec, Rozálie Prokopcová, Zachy Prokopec, Rebeka Rendlová, Nadia Rovderová, Sota Sakuma, Martina Staňková, Antonín Střížek, Čestmír Suška, Dušan Šimánek, Oldřich Škácha, Jindřich Štreit, Max Švabinský, František Tichý, and Aleš Zapletal

Tomáš Císařovský (1962) is a Czech painter. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he made a name for himself as a painter of figures and portraits. In the 1980s, he presented his works alongside his peers at secret exhibitions of young art called Konfrontace (Confrontation). He has had solo exhibitions at the Rudolfinum Gallery and the National Gallery in the Trade Fair Palace, among others. He works mainly with oil paints, and his series are characterised by their distinctive colours. His predominantly calm paintings without a narrative background depict, in an ambiguous and indirect way, the story of Czech history and its impact or influence on society. “In my paintings, I convey a certain story through visual fragments that are expressed by the characters' gestures, postures, and relationships with each other... Before each new painting, I look forward to it taking me somewhere I have never been before.” Recently, in addition to figurative themes, she has also been involved in depicting landscapes. She is inspired by early Byzantine mosaics, frescoes by Giotto, the series by Master Theodoric, Renaissance painters, and the work of Alex Katz.
Erika Bornová (1964) is a Czech painter, sculptor, and illustrator. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Her works are represented in the collections of the National Gallery in Prague, the Prague City Gallery (GHMP), the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery, and other institutions and private collections. For many years, she devoted herself to sculpture, with polystyrene being her favourite material. She created figural sculptures from it and often acknowledged this material in her work. Currently, she mainly focuses on painting in thematic cycles (Plants, Water Creatures, Fragile Death). During a period of partial loss of vision, she painted a wide range of self-portraits. Elements of nostalgia, magic, and inspiration from nature appear in her distinctive work.

The exhibition On the wall at home at the Prostora gallery presents the private art collection of the artist duo Tomáš Císařovský and Erika Bornová. The opening will take place on Wednesday, September 17, at 6 pm.
From September 17 to the end of October, Galerie Prostora will host the exhibition On the wall at home, showcasing the private collection of painter Tomáš Císařovský and his life partner, sculptor and painter Erika Bornová. Guided tours will also be part of the program.
This personal collection has been assembled spontaneously over several decades and highlights connections between kindred artists, as well as offering an unconventional perspective on the Czech visual arts scene. “We surround ourselves with the work of colleagues, friends, and even more distant artists, mostly because we don't want to bring our own work home. Each of us has one painting on the wall that we truly care about, partly to make sure it does not get sold. The drawings and paintings came to us for different reasons. A small portion comes from our families, but most of the collection came through exchanging our artwork for artwork from someone else. Some we purchased directly, and with those occasional purchases, we try to support the youngest generation of artists,” says Tomáš Císařovský.
The exhibition will feature works by Láďa Bartoš, Vladimír Boudník, Veronika Šrek Bromová, Josef Císařovský, Stanislav Diviš, Milena Dopitová, Filip Dvořák, Lenka Feldsteinova, Damian Giacov, David Hanvald, Emil Holárek, Bohdan Holomíček, Josef Charvát, Jiří Kovanda, Kamil Lhoták, Milena Lupitová, František Matoušek, Jan Merta, Petr Nikl, Petr Pastrňák, Viktor Pivovarov, Petr Písařík, Míla Preslová, Jaroslav Prokopec, Rozálie Prokopcová, Zachy Prokopec, Rebeka Rendlová, Nadia Rovderová, Sota Sakuma, Martina Staňková, Antonín Střížek, Čestmír Suška, Dušan Šimánek, Oldřich Škácha, Jindřich Štreit, Max Švabinský, František Tichý and Aleš Zapletal.
Tomáš Císařovský (b. 1962) is a Czech painter. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he developed as a painter of figures and portraits. In the 1980s, he participated in underground art shows called Confrontations, showcasing emerging young artists. He has exhibited solo at institutions such as the Rudolfinum Gallery and the National Gallery in Prague’s Trade Fair Palace. He primarily works in oil, and his series are known for their vivid colour schemes. His mostly calm, narrative-free paintings subtly and ambiguously depict stories from Czech history and their social impact. “In my paintings, I try to convey a story through a visual fragment, which the figures express through gestures, posture, and mutual relationships… Before each new painting, I look forward to being taken somewhere I have not been before.” Recently, in addition to figural work, he has also been exploring landscape painting. He draws inspiration from early Byzantine mosaics, Giotto’s frescoes, the Master Theodoric’s series, Renaissance painters, and the work of Alex Katz.
Erika Bornová (b. 1964) is a Czech painter, sculptor, and illustrator. She also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Her works are part of the collections of the National Gallery Prague, the Prague City Gallery (GHMP), the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery, and other institutions, as well as private collections. For many years, she worked mainly in sculpture, with polystyrene being one of her favourite materials. She used it to create figurative sculptures and often intentionally left the material visible. Today, she primarily focuses on painting, working in thematic cycles (e.g., Plants, Water Creatures, Fragile Death). During a period of partial vision loss, she created a wide series of self-portraits. Her distinctive style incorporates elements of nostalgia, magic, and inspiration from nature.

Prostora is a new non-profit project led by architect Marcela Steinbachová, the founder of the Skupina Studio, Kruh Association, and the Director of its activities (its lecture series on architecture, the Architecture Day festival, and the Film and Architecture festival, as well as publication releases). Prostora is located on the 1st floor above Náměstí Míru Square, in the former telephone exchange building at Blanická Street 9. The gallery's name is derived from the more commonly used synonym for the word 'space,' but it defines a more delimited, bounded environment, in this case, an exhibition space.
"The space came about by chance. I have acquired an incredible industrial space in the city centre and we are dedicating a part of it to culture. The character of the interior is left over from the building's previous use as a telephone switchboard. The imperfections of the space is taken as an advantage. Cracked uneven floors, plastered openings, holes and splinters are part of the body of the gallery; its asset. The curatorial cycle will present important contemporary Czech artists in a different way and should show the breadth of these personalities."- Marcela Steinbach explains the space will be used for gallery purposes.
