Gallery cuts short exhibition after exhibits damaged two nights in row

A gallery in Brno has cut short an open-air exhibition on the Moravian capital’s main square náměstí Svobody after exhibits were damaged two nights in a row. Two of six glass spheres housing designs in a travelling show put together by Denmark’s Index:Award were broken on Thursday night, before vandals smashed two more on Friday night. A representative of the Dům umění města Brna said the attacks were a disgrace. The perpetrators of Thursday night’s damage, two young men, apologised to the gallery and offered to cover the costs of the damages; they were drunk and attempted to take pictures of one another lying on the glass spheres.
