Radio Prague - Funeral home gallery offers a fresh look at death, life and contemporary art

The cemetery in the small South Bohemian town of Volyně hides an unusual secret – a contemporary art gallery called Na shledanou, or Goodbye. Actually, the secret is not that well kept, since for the past three years the gallery’s curator Jan Freiberg has been inviting well-known and up-and-coming Czech artists to use the funeral home’s walls and beautifully lit space to create site-specific works. Visitors from the surrounding region and from far beyond come to experience the unusually located gallery. On a recent visit to Prague, Jan Freiberg spoke to Radio Prague and told us how the Goodbye Gallery found a home at Volyně’s cemetery.
