Roman Ondak
The Day After Yesterday
- Kunsthalle Praha, Prague (CZ)
- 13.11.2025–09.03.2026
Kunsthalle Praha will present "The Day After Yesterday", the first major exhibition in Eastern and Central Europe of internationally acclaimed Slovak conceptual artist Roman Ondak. Offering a comprehensive overview of more than thirty years of his practice, the exhibition features a wide range of almost 50 works across media and includes some of his most iconic pieces, such as Measuring the Universe, a participatory performance that has travelled to leading museums worldwide and will be restaged in Prague.
The title of the exhibition refers to Ondak’s 2005 work "The Day After Yesterday", in which he intertwined different temporal layers and balanced the personal with the conceptual. Across installations, performances, videos, photographs, drawings, and objects, the exhibition highlights his recurring themes of memory, time, and identity. Ondak often reflects on the historical particularities of Central Europe and its communist past, while also engaging with the globalized present. His subtle humour and conceptual precision allow existential and societal themes to merge seamlessly with personal experience. In his artistic universe, the political and the personal, the universal and the intimate, intertwine into authentic works that resonate across time and place.
