Creature

In the industrial Turbine Hall, Ladislav Vlna explores the figure as an entity in process. As a body, a shape, and a trace of will.

Where the Light Casts No Shadow

This exhibition of paintings by four prominent contemporary European artists depicts the landscape as a space where reality intertwines with memory, the subconscious, and subtle irony.

AI ORACULUM – The Future Is Now!

An intermedia exhibition focused on science and technology combines generative AI, audiovisual projections, holographic objects, VR, and digital waste.

Level IV Rocket

Intermedia artist, painter, educator, and co-founder of the Tvrdohlaví group, Jiří David created a site-specific installation entitled Raketa – Level IV (Rocket – Level IV) in the exterior of EPO1. The work contextually follows on from the Raketa (Rocket) objects he created between 1987 and 1999.

Power for
Space

One of the activities of the EPO1 gallery is the installation of sculptures in public space where they can be encountered by both casual passers-by and art lovers who are purposefully seeking to experience them.

History
of the EPO I power plant

The permanent exhibition in EPO1 is devoted to the history of the EPO I power plant and the production of electricity in the Trutnov region.

Murals

Matěj Olmer, Michal Škapa and Petr Königsmark show themselves in their clearly recognizable positions in the EPO1 area. Quite naturally, they bring contemporary art to the exterior, outside the gallery walls, where they present visitors with their original and individual vision framed by the distinctive, bold brickwork of the former First Republic power plant.

Project ArtPoint

There is a reconstructed chapel of St. Joseph in the village of Slavětín, about 15 minutes from the EPO1 gallery. The dilapidated building was bought by the Kasper family, redesigned beyond recognition and now linked to the EPO1 gallery with regard to its interior and exterior design and furnishings.
