The new exhibition in Leica Gallery Prague is a selection from Josef Chuchma’s archive – it will show works taken during the seventies and eighties that were, with a few exceptions, never published. It started on September 12, 2019.
The works are from a time when Chuchma wandered through the streets of Prague with a focused aimlessness or when he repeatedly visited certain locations in his hometown that he tried to immortalize and chronicle. He frequented concerts and music festivals, he traveled to Poland and to the religious festivities in Tchenstochova, he made portraits. Normalization – the twenty years after the suppression of the Prague Spring in 1968 – had its specific esthetic and social atmosphere. The way of living was slow and organized, anxious and with little delights. The author believes that his photographs carry normalization’s imprint.
Leica Gallery will be closed from 1 to 7 July. During the rest of the Summer we open every day from 11 am to 6 pm. Come visit the photo exhibitions and cool yourself down in our air-conditioned gallery and café.
On June 21, 2019, the Leica Gallery Prague will open an exhibition of photographs by Jürgen Schadeberg who had, during his long career, captured the unrefined reality of South Africa of the second half of the 20th century. As a reporter, he had an opportunity to photograph places and situations that would be unimaginable for most of his white contemporaries. He became world-famous for his images capturing Nelson Mandela or black singer Miriam Makeba.
