HR Giger - Invitation to the exhibition “Metamorphoses”
- Written by Portal Editor
After the first surprise due to our invitation to the exhibition “Metamorphoses”, i.e. to the works of the Swiss artist and filmmaker HR Giger, our research began immediately, especially since the location of the exhibition was completely unknown to us: Hluboká nad Vltavou in the Czech Republic.
So we were full of anticipation and excited about the invitation from gallery management director Ales Seifert to the castle riding school in Hluboká nad Vltavou, organized by Daiana Hrosh and MgA. Paulina Skavova.
Our heartfelt thanks to the people mentioned for the invitation, the organization and the inspiring tour of the “Metamorphoses” exhibition.
But now first to the locations in Hluboká nad Vltavou.
Hluboká nad Vltavou and the castle riding school
The South Bohemian Aleš Gallery (Alšova Jihočeská galérie) is now located in the former castle riding hall. This impressive gallery is located on the grounds of the 13th-century neo-Gothic Hluboká Castle Riding School and is one of the most beautiful museums in the Czech Republic. It began its activity on January 1, 1953 and was named after the South Bohemian painter Mikoláš Aleš (1852-1913).
In 1967, a branch was founded - the AJG ceramics department, which is located in the renovated building of the former castle brewery in Bechyně. The renovated Wortner House was opened in České Budějovice in 1993 for exhibition purposes. It is a Gothic building restored in the Renaissance style.
Stay tuned, more articles and pictures will follow.
