Exhibition Hall Sokolská 26
Exhibition Hall Sokolská 26, which is run by the Centre for Culture and Education Moravian Ostrava, contributory organization of the City District Moravian Ostrava and Přívoz, started its activities in 1993. As its name suggests it is located on avenue Sokolská 26 on the first floor of a historic villa. Its dramaturgy presents significant and indisputable art personalities that create and uphold the concept of the contemporary Czech art scene. Not only works by many leading Czech and foreign artists are presented there but also group exhibitions of mostly young artists from different regions are organised here. The curator of the exhibitions is Ing. Milan Weber.

JIŘÍ VALENTA (1936–1991)
Jiří Valenta was one of important representatives of a radical stream of Czech structural abstraction of the 60s (together with Jan Koblasa, Aleš Veselý, and Zbyšek Sion). His principals sources were polarization of the existential level (manifested by direct modifications into a relief of amorphous matter) and transcendental (displayed by organization of basic geometric shapes and internal enlightening). After having emigrated in 1968 his work got even more enlightened and spiritual in freely continuing work of Czech medieval masters such as Master Theodorik and Master of the Třeboň altarpiece.
