David Lynch’s First Czech Exhibition Opens at DOX

The exhibition Up in Flames is the first and largest presentation of David Lynch’s work in the Czech Republic to date.

The exhibition of the American artist David Lynch will present the artistic work of this icon of world cinema for the first time in the Czech Republic.

The exhibition project, which is being prepared in collaboration with the Paris-based studio Item éditions and his representative gallery Pace in Los Angeles, is conceived as a retrospective of Lynch’s artistic output, with an emphasis on his most recent works from the last seven years.

David Lynch’s expressive range of artistic work is very diverse, having worked in drawing, painting, photography, printmaking techniques, design, and animation over the course of nearly six decades.

All these areas will also appear in the exhibition in representative collections, including experimental short films.

The exhibition is not designed chronologically, but will follow specific formal or thematic connections that, among other things, characterise David Lynch’s work.

The project will also include music, film and literary programmes.

Lynch, widely known for directing Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks, played an active role in planning the 2024 exhibition. He met with curator Otto M. Urban to approve the final concept and choose the works on display.

“We wanted to present the project to David Lynch in advance as his artistic oeuvre is so extensive that even with a large exhibition space such as DOX it was necessary to narrow down the selection of works,” Urban said through a press release.

“It was important to consider the exhibition as a whole – its structure and the rhythm in which the works enter into dialogue with each other, giving rise to new connections and contexts.”

The Up in Flames exhibition runs from June 19, 2025, to February 8, 2026.

Opening hours
Tue—Sun 11:00—19:00
