Dear friends of G18,
thank you for being part of our gallery again this year. You have helped us create a space where everyone can feel welcome. Together, we have created a series of inspiring exhibitions, workshops, and other accompanying programs!
We wish you many artistic experiences in 2026, the courage to create and to go beyond what you already know – in life, but also in art.
The G18 gallery team
On Wednesday, December 10, 2025, we opened an exhibition entitled New Situation. It presents the work of a group of twenty-two artists from the Department of Media Art at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. In their works, they focus on transitional moments where humans and their emotions clash with the unstoppable influence of today’s digital age.
“The exhibition is the result of creative approaches that explore the liminal moments of human encounters with technology, where their own experiences intertwine. The works show the influence of contemporary tools on human perception, communication, and emotions, thus drawing attention to the ambivalent nature of today’s reality,” explains exhibition curator Michał Pietrzak. Together with Vladimír Kovařík, Tomasz Dobiszewski, and Marek Grzyb, dean of the Faculty of Media Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, they gave the opening speech at the festive vernissage.
Visitors to the G18 gallery can view the exhibition from December 11, 2025, to February 25, 2026, during opening hours Monday through Saturday, 1–6 p.m.

The New Situation exhibition will present the work of a total of twenty-two artists from the Department of Media Art at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. In their works, they focus on the critical moments where humans and their emotions clash with the unstoppable influence of the digital age. The New Situation thus refers to today’s era of rapid change, which is in full swing and from which none of us can escape.
In December, we will have the last board game session of the year. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of board games to choose from – from Dixit, UNO, and Monopoly to Codenames! However, we would be happy to play your favorites that we don’t have in our gallery. We look forward to seeing you on December 2 at 5 p.m.!
On Wednesday, December 3, our gallery will host a lecture entitled Museums Without Barriers. This follows up on a conference held in September, which presented the results of a project implemented within the TAČR framework, focusing on opening museums and galleries to people with neurodivergent disorders such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism.
So how can museums and other institutions be transformed into inclusive environments without barriers? Project leader Eva Vázalová Gartnerová, inclusion expert Mariana Chytilová, and project producer Jana Ovčáčková will discuss new perspectives on inclusion and accessible design in museums, present the main focus of the project, and discuss next steps and the practical application of the results obtained. The discussion will provide an opportunity to share experiences and ideas on how cultural institutions can truly open their doors to all groups of visitors without distinction.
Christmas is just around the corner! And our gallery will open its doors for the FMK Christmas Market. Whether you are looking for last-minute gifts, want to support local artists, or simply want to get into the Christmas spirit, you can visit us on Thursday, December 4, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
You can buy works by our students and FMK employees to put under the tree, including posters, jewelry, photographs, clothing, and other design accessories!
We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition New Situation, which will present the work of a total of twenty-two artists from the Department of Media Art at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław.
The opening will be followed by a guided tour in English with the exhibition curators.
The THESIS 25 exhibition yesterday symbolically closed this year’s series of exhibitions of the academic year 2024/2025. You can look forward to the next exhibition – this time dedicated to photography – in September 2025. Until then, our gallery will be closed to prepare for the rich programme of the following semester. Thank you for visiting us in increasing numbers! We look forward to seeing you again in the new academic year!
The 12th edition of the Junior University, which is organized under the auspices of the Faculty of Humanities, took place last week from 7 to 11 July. On Friday, children of different age groups had the opportunity to see behind the scenes of the gallery and its day-to-day running, as well as to make their own art collage inspired by Zlín personalities and characters.
The 29th International Poster Biennale, organized annually by the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, reflects the state of contemporary poster art in the context of technological progress. This year, the biennale included the poster of the mAI type exhibition, which was on view at the Gallery G18 earlier this year. The exhibition showcased the output of students on the Typography course, who focused on the process and tools of designing amid rapidly evolving tools using generative AI.
The exhibition of the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw is held from 5 July to 5 October 2025.
The poster for the mAI type exhibition was designed by graphic designer Veronika Barrera. You can view the mAI type exhibition in the online database of all the typographic posters. The link can be found here.
