GROUP THERAPY
Collections in Dialogue – Art Collection Telekom and Prague City Gallery

The exhibition Group Therapy is a dialogue, an encounter, an exchange of artistic ideas and concepts, and a juxtaposition of artworks from two different collections. Holdings from – and recent acquisitions for – the collection of Prague City Gallery (GHMP), which was established in 1963 and comprises more than 16,000 items, are brought together here with pieces from Art Collection Telekom, which was launched by Deutsche Telekom in 2010 to promote and collect contemporary art from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe.

Current issues and accounts of lived reality are central to this dialogue, presenting around 80 works by 46 artists. The stories embedded in the artworks are about everyday life, personal hopes and fears, social cohesion and politics, but also explore fundamental questions related to the notion of democracy, democratic values, and the concept of a free and open society. These narratives contextualise the presentation and serve as pointers for the dialogue with and between the pieces on show. In the exhibition, they are encapsulated by the following terms:

Equal Rights – Democracy

Individualism – World Visions

Community – Spiritual Dimensions – Emotional Balance

Memory – History – Identity

Future Perspectives – Technology
