David Lynch: Up in Flames

The exhibition Up in Flames presents, for the first time in the Czech Republic, the artistic work of American artist and icon of world cinema David Lynch. Focusing on drawings, photography, lithographs, watercolours, and short experimental and animated films, the exhibition introduces visitors to works from all of the artist’s creative periods, meaning from the late 1960s to the present.

The exhibition is not designed chronologically, but will follow specific formal or thematic connections that, among other things, characterise David Lynch's work. A major part of the exhibition consists of works on loan directly from The David Lynch Estate in Los Angeles, but the project will also include many works (lithographs and photographs) created at Item éditions in Paris. Up in Flames will also offer a wide range of accompanying programmes focusing in particular on film, contemporary experimental music, and literature.

Curator: Otto M. Urban

Organizátor: DOX Centre for Contemporary Art. In collaboration with The David Lynch Estate, Pace Gallery and Item éditions.
