A Stroll Through the Public and Private Spaces of the House of the Lords of Kunštát / BAW 2025

AXONTORR: DISPLACED WATER TANK 2 SCREENS SURROUND SOUND / komentovaná prohlídka

We cordially invite you to Vašulka Kitchen Brno for a guided tour of the exhibition AXONTORR: DISPLACED WATER TANK 2 SCREENS SURROUND SOUND. The exhibition will be presented by its curator Ondřej Merta.

AXONTORR is the Athens-based collaborative project of artists and musicians Simon Kounovský (FR) and Oliver Torr (CZ). Their originally distinct roles—Simon developing visuals and Oliver, a renowned musician and sound designer, heading the project’s musical component—gradually began to intertwine in significant ways.

We cordially invite you to a guided tour of the House of the Lords of Kunštát, which will be part of the program of the Brno Art Week 2025 festival.

A Stroll Through the Public and Private Spaces of the House of the Lords of Kunštát

Did you know that archaeologists uncovered Gothic brick fragments from the 13th century during excavations at the House of the Lords of Kunštát? The building’s Renaissance appearance, however, comes from a century later, when it was owned by the Kunštát family, for whom the building is named.

Have you ever wondered how a contemporary art gallery thrives inside one of the two last surviving Renaissance landmarks in Brno’s historical centre? Or how the archive of electronic art pioneers, Woody and Steina Vašulka, ended up here? And what hidden treasures — beyond what’s on display — are tucked away in the building and its courtyard? These are just a few of the questions we will answer during our walk. The programme will take you through both the building's exterior and interior and is open to the general public.

Key Themes: architecture, Renaissance, art exhibitions, gallery, restoration

Entrance fee 50 CZK, reservations may be made from 1 April 2025, 12:00 via goout.net/cs/dum-umeni-mesta-brna/vzngh/

The program will be held in Czech.
