A prominent Slovak artist, Ilona N\u00e9meth, will present herself at the House of Arts \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem with an entirely new large-scale project that continues the rich line of environmentally oriented works latent in her practice since the early 1990s. In her latest project, the artist responds to ongoing climate change, which in her home region of southern Slovakia is manifested, among other things, by the disappearance of thuja trees that are gradually dying, drying out, and turning brown. These vanishing trees and shrubs, present in Central Europe since the 16th century, have become the subject of N\u00e9meth\u2019s monitoring and systematic collection of all available information.<\/p>\n
The exhibition project prepared for the House of Arts \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem and titled Fragile Gardens in Adaptation<\/em> naturally follows N\u00e9meth\u2019s long-term interest in the theme of gardens, which she has developed in various cultural, social, environmental, and socio-economic contexts. In recent years, this interest has been manifested, for example, in her Floating Gardens<\/em> project (Garden of the Future<\/em> and Healing Garden<\/em>), presented at documenta fifteen<\/em> in Kassel in 2022, and in a broader sense through the extensive international research, artistic, and exhibition project Eastern Sugar<\/em>, which has been ongoing since 2017.<\/p>\n Ilona N\u00e9meth: Fragile Gardens in Adaptation<\/strong> September 17 \u2013 November 22, 2025<\/p>\n The opening of the exhibition will take place on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n A guided tour of the exhibition with the artist and curator will begin at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n
