Early spring, when nature is awakening and the air is burgeoning with the heady scents of fragrant flowers, is also the time of new hopes and inspiration. Blooming tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and clivias invigorate our senses and combined with the works of contemporary fine arts, they create a truly unique experience at the exhibition
Early Spring: Ephemeral Entities
Contemporary art and spring flowers grown in the Prague Castle greenhouses

Transience and nature’s direct touch serve as the exhibition’s leitmotifs, presenting contemporary art amidst the greenhouse’s vibrant flora in bloom. Indeed, fragility and ephemerality are not only intrinsic to all living organisms, but also essential for the continuation of nature’s fleeting cycles. Hence, the artworks selected for the Ephemeral Entities exhibition not only relate to nature (including humans as an integral part), but in many cases also use uncommon materials – often delicate or ethereal – and artistic principles, such as living plants, mushrooms, feathers, and other natural materials, as well as water, plaster, paper, Plexiglas, light reflection, printed fabric, light projections, and sound. Primarily showcasing sculptural objects, the exhibition features works by several contemporary artists whose diverse approaches transcend traditional sculptural methods and artistic media. Visitors can enjoy sculptures as well as various objects, small installations, light projections, and sound interventions nestled among flowers, both inside and outside the greenhouse.
