Tereza Kalousová's Sorority at Clauda, Prague: Polished Wood and the Aesthetics of Control

At Clauda in Prague, seven polished wooden spheres rest on a leather mat, showcasing Tereza Kalousová's "Sorority" series. This exhibition runs from September 16 to October 24, 2026, at Veverkova 28, open Wednesday through Saturday from 2 PM to 6 PM. Composed of wood, leather, synthetic hair, and upholstery buttons, these pieces are interpreted by Eva Slabá as a fusion of figure, furniture, and architecture. Two double-oval artworks, framed in wood, adorn the walls—one clad in navy velvet and the other in peach fabric. Slabá draws parallels between the installation and the Gilded Age architecture of New York, as well as Joseph Pilates's studio, suggesting that smoothness captivates the body. Kalousová, who splits her residence between Prague and Amsterdam, was awarded the Jindřich Chalupecký Award in 2026.
