The Galerie Rudolfinum, Prague, Czech Republic is hosted a large-scale exhibition project from Czech artist Krištof Kintera. The exhibition was called ‘Nervous Trees’ – a reference to probably the most interesting artwork of the exhibition.

What is art? A difficult subject and one that I’m not qualified to answer. I could use the phrase “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like” and what I like are the paintings of Prague trams by Czech artist Martina Krupičková https://martinakrupickova.com/ – such as this one:

But I didn’t visit this exhibition as an art critic looking for a deep meaning; I was more like the numerous children visiting with parents, who just enjoyed the eclectic and unusual installations for what they were.

The first room contained a large chandelier that had crashed to the ground beside a mountain.

The next, a large sprawling island formed from old electronic circuit boards and other electrical waste.

And a smaller island:

And some wires made to look like a flowering plant:

The next room was a workshop, full of hundreds of pieces of junk, plus another island:

There was also a magical tree, or maybe a representation of DNA:

An attractive wire flower, with a joke Latin botanical name, sat in a glass-covered frame:

The next room was full of random pictures, many of them with funny titles and motifs:

This one I liked because it was a squashed wasp:

The next hall contained some nervous trees:

 

I’m not surprised the trees were nervous as there was a tower of cement sacks that looked like they could fall at any second:

 

The next room was a polystyrene block hill with a jukebox on the top of it. Visitors are encouraged to pick away at the polystyrene to create an artificial snow on the floor of the room. I forgot to take a picture of that.

We then entered a room containing a washing machine mountain:

Many of the machines were running:

And that was the end of the exhibition.
