Lucia Tallová: Moving Clouds
Deutsche Bank "Artist of the Year" 2026
Everything becomes art!
Free program for kindergartens and 1st and 2nd grade
Come with us to Lucia Tallová's exhibition Moving Clouds so that we can go on a journey of discovery together.
What can we see? Big clouds, photos, wood, windows and more: there's a lot here! What happens when you combine very different things? What can a piece of wood become? What can we discover in a photo? And can something completely new emerge from many different objects? We search, marvel, and tell what we see. Afterwards, we'll get creative ourselves and try out how we can combine different shapes and materials to create our own small work of art.
When “Things” tell stories
Free program for 3rd - 6th grade
What do clouds, wood, and photographs have to do with emotions and memories? In her exhibition Moving Clouds, the artist Lucia Tallová uses many different art forms such as drawings, photographs, architecture, and collages.
We will take a close look at her artworks and try to answer the questions: What do we see? What could it mean? What story or memory is behind it? Afterwards, we will become artists ourselves and experiment with forms and materials. Sometimes it doesn't take much to create something new from what already exists: just an idea, a different perspective, and a little imagination.
From Object to Subject
Free program from 7th grade
In the exhibition Moving Clouds, the artist Lucia Tallová addresses questions of our present: ecology, politics, technology, feminism and the relationship between people and the environment.
In her works, different times and materials meet: ancient columns and caryatids (these are female sculptures that take on supporting functions instead of columns or pillars), found objects from the flea market, wooden structures and abstract clouds. Objects that originally had a completely different function or meaning become part of an artwork and thus take on a new role. We take a closer look: When does an object become a symbol? When does an object tell a story? And can an object itself become a “subject”?
November 9 and 16, 2026, each 9 - 10:30 pm

Free program for 1rd - 2th grade
A stone is a stone is a stone. Still, unmoving, and inanimate, it lies there, unchanged for centuries. But if you look closely, if you perceive it through the eyes of other living beings, then the stone is as changeable as a cloud. It is dark or light, a pebble or a mountain, a scent or a feeling. Around it, the world changes, life bustles and the stone is a part of it. Brendan Wenzel cleverly and surprisingly tells of a stone that means the world.
Matching the exhibition Moving Clouds, we will read the story as a picture cinema and invite you to get creative yourself in the subsequent workshop. Just like Lucia Tallovà, we will work with fabrics, paper, and colors, giving the quiet stone a thousand faces.
Cooperation with the bookshop Krumulus.
