Infrastructures: Making Space for the Desires of Others
International exhibition of contemporary art
17 September – 18 November 2026
Gallery 1, Dům umění Ústí nad Labem
Václav Janoščík, a lecturer at UMPRUM since 2011, is the curator of the exhibition Infrastructures: Making Space for the Desires of Others, which features works by Zeynep Gönen, a student in UMPRUM’s Visual Arts programme.
The group exhibition explores infrastructures as environments that not only organize our everyday lives but also shape our behaviours, relationships, and desires. It takes as its starting point the interconnectedness of digital networks, physical systems, and the human body itself. From online platforms and artificial intelligence to pipelines, care, and emotionality, infrastructures are not neutral backdrops but actively shape the possibilities for action and the ways in which we become part of the world. The exhibition brings together artistic approaches that critically examine these relationships and seek to create space for alternative forms of coexistence, collaboration, and shared desire.
