Signal Festival has become an essential part of Prague’s cultural scene, and this year it is once again opening the Gallery Zone, offering you the chance to experience art in a unique atmosphere.

Imagine Prague, but in a different way. Thanks to the Signal Festival Gallery Zone, you'll see places you never knew existed - or rediscover places you never expected to be surprised by. The Prague Castle Riding Hall, the Baroque Refectory of the Dominican Monastery and more. What normally remains hidden from the eye will now come alive in a unique multimedia show.
Kunsthalle Prague, the National Theatre, the Centre for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP) or the National Gallery Prague: these are some of the partner institutions of this year's Signal Festival gallery zone. On the left and right bank, art meets technology and history meets the present - you just have to enter.
You can only experience the Signal Festival Gallery Zone for four days a year. During these days, you will encounter international and Czech artists, fascinating architecture and, above all, an atmosphere that will resonate with you long afterwards. All this for the price of one ticket, which invites you to a multimedia feast for all the senses for the price of one dinner.
Every year Signal Festival prepares a brand new programme for you. Locations, collaborations and artists - it all changes and this year's edition is a complete unique experience that you will never have the chance to experience again. Make sure you get a ticket and thus an extraordinary experience that will show you a new, unknown face of Prague again this year.
Korean artist and professor Seohyo's work combines inspiration from historical elements of Prague architecture with the media technologies of generative art to create a unique dynamic projection of abstract shapes reflecting the rhythm of the city.
One of the most important contemporary Czech artists, Jiří Příhoda uses precise geometric principles in his monumental sculptural works, working with the movement of light and shadow and their contrasts. Capriccio, Karbola, UAPs are static, but the precise work with matter gives them the illusion of movement.
Michael Bielicky with Kamila B. Richter address the theme of human overload with a multitude of sensations and the need to find the right navigational direction for oneself in the flood of information. Their Columbus 2.0 transforms digital messages into waves of information surrounding the visitor, creating the illusion of an ocean.
The exhibition by the legendary British studio UVA illuminates the parallels between the unpredictability of chaos theory and the structured patterns that emerge within it. The ensemble installation presents a kinetic double pendulum, ice panels and laser projection, offering the viewer a profound experience connecting the tangible and intangible, the visible and the invisible.
The multimedia theatre ensemble Laterna magika will present a theatre and dance production by director Miřenka Čechová, which will draw the viewer into the position of a waiting on the platform, recording the life stories of the characters through the limited perspective of the windows of a passing train.
In his installation Silent Echoes, American artist Bill Fontana, one of the founders of sound art, reminds us of the fragility of climatic and cultural balance. He has transported the tones of the silent bells of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to the icy caves of Dachstein to create a specific sonic duet.
Quayola, an Italian immersive artist, focuses on nature, pictorial traditions and new technological devices in his video series Effets de Soir.
