The Garden of the World exhibition by Jana King Kochánková and Tomáš King
14.05.2025 / 15:16
From 31 May to 27 July, Garden of the World was on display at Konsthallen Meken in Smedjebacken. The exhibition, created by the Prague‑based duo Jana King Kochánková and Tomáš King, invited visitors to step into a world of large paintings, ceramic sculptures of goddesses, and lithographs.
Through their work, they explore the beauty and complexity of nature — not just through the elements, trees, and plants, but through something deeper, a kind of energy that pulses beneath the surface. Their pieces reflect both personal experiences and a larger, spiritual connection to the world around us, inviting us to see nature in ways we might not have noticed before.
The exhibition was created in collaboration with Karina Kottová, a leading Czech curator known for her work with contemporary art.
The opening took place on 31 May at 15:00 in the presence of Ambassador Anita Grmelová and the Embassy was honoured to support the event.
Dates: May 31 – July 27, 2025
Location: Konsthallen Meken, Kyrkogatan 12, Smedjebacken
