The exhibition focuses on architecture and lifestyle between 1956-1989. Lifestyle is a phenomenon in which everyday experiences and experiences intersect with architecture and design as creative disciplines. Against the backdrop of modernity, characterized by the transition to a post-industrial society, the growth of the tertiary sector, services, and significant advances in (tele)communication and audiovisual media, the specific Czech situation appears as a special case study with different aspects of Cold War political development. The aim of the exhibition is to overcome the East-West binary view artificially maintained since the fall of the Iron Curtain 30 years ago and to make it intelligible in a European context.
The exhibition presents important works from the Architecture Collection of the National Gallery Prague by authors such as Václav Aulický, Věra and Vladimír Machonin, František Cubr, Karel Prager, Alena Šrámková, creative collectives such as Sial Liberec and others, supplemented by photographs, films from the National Film Archive and period publications.
