Prague Academy of Arts and Design is hosting Okolo’s “Homage to Detail,” an exhibition featuring modernist architecture in all its glory.Adam Štěch, design curator and writer, has always been passionate about 20th- century architecture. His work draws inspiration from his extensive trips across Europe and beyond in search of hidden modernist gems. Founding members of the Okolo collaborative, Štěch has teamed up with graphic designers Jan Kloss and Matěj Činčera to put together “Homage to Detail,” an exhibition that celebrates his finds.For the exhibition, Štěch has created an atlas of architectural and interior details after painstakingly going through his large photographic archive of modernist architecture, which he developed organically through 10 years’ worth of travels. Lighting, seating, railings, doors, storage, tables, windows, and more are presented in the exhibition through photos carefully arranged on a long table. These items not only represent a meticulous study of modernist detailing but also recount stories of the versatile skills of the modernist architects.The exhibition is on view through February 17, 2018, at the Prague Academy of Arts and Design, Gallery UM, UMPRUM, nám.
