    Snow |

The exhibition was conducted in the area AMT. Project curator of it was Lucia Gavulová. The exhibition was compiled from photos, of which the common denominator was the snow. The supporting were the images of interventions. On the one, I stuck snow on the block of flats, that I intuitively illustrated additional lines alongside lines formed by cracked sealing flat panels. This abstract painting refers to the work of Antimonument (2007) in which I covered the newly constructed monument with the imitation of the panel from block of flats. Among other interventions documented in the photographs is a removal of snow from the field - outside the area for walking - thus creating a white cross, or sketching designs on dew-covered car window while driving, which resulted in the sudden appearance of the countryside behind the window blurred by motion. At the exhibition was also presented an object named „Magorák“ – a teapot, in which until the end of the exhibition was black tea.
