WHO? WHY?

The exhibition WHO? WHY? at Museum Montanelli (Nerudova 13, Prague 1) presents the work of multimedia artist Daniel Pešta. Over the past six years, his works have been shown at the Venice Biennale di Arte, including a solo exhibition "Something Is Wrong" at Tana Art Space gallery in 2024. This collection of works will be presented in the Czech Republic for the first time. Pešta works across multiple media — from painting and watercolor through objects, installations, videos to assemblages. In his works, he analyzes the "gene of evil" encoded in the deep nature of certain individuals who fundamentally shape the destinies of others. Psychological, philosophical, and political themes are at the center of his attention. The question of the future takes on ever greater importance in his work, as technology and informatics have given humanity unprecedented power. The exhibition is guided by curator Dadja Altenburg Kohl together with the artist. The exhibition is open from September 24, 2025 to March 29, 2026, Wednesday to Sunday 14:00–18:00 (at other times only by prior telephone arrangement). Admission is free; advance confirmation by email or phone is required for guided tours.
