JELENÍ GALLERY, PRAGUE 7 (CZ)
This group exhibition presents selected artists from a number of students and graduates of the Studio Performance headed by Jiří Kovanda at the Faculty of Arts and Design, University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem. The complex terrain of the gallery landscape will intriduce the works of Barbora Čápová, Kristýna Pozlerová, Markéta Souhradová, Adela Waldhauserová, Jiří Pitrmuc, Maxmilián Berdych and Robin Seidl.
Image appetizers from found washcloths and towels were
quickly adjusted through the exhibition space to make a link between all the
others exhibits. Through his proces and instant work Robin Seidl makes a
reference to the sarcastic moments of the entire installation with an
absolutely serious face. The serum of plastic hubcaps by Maxmilián Berdych
referring to the reality of everydayness silently speaks to the white geometric
construction depicting residues of dreams and the boundary between haven and
earth by Markéta Souhradová. The object of the artistic tandem Adéla
Waldhauserová & Jiří Pitrmuc dominates the whole project. I this Golem and
his shem as a current reference to the all society phenomenon connecting not
only Euro-American culture where people more and more oftenbestow their lives
(and faces) to silicon machines, Binary structures and visual pleasures.
Barbora Čápová compres objects, artefacts and materials filled to the top with
personal history through the generally known phenomenon of buffet tables – the place
where all human interaction originating from collective dining condenses into
one poin of a non-existent face from various angles. The mirror peaks into
history, while ittirelessly spews out reflections of the present.
The artworks make up a homogenous unit, which with lightness and elegance opens up, reminds, elaborates and, last but not least, shifts contemplations over thechallenges of the social direction of the current generation. It draws attention to the dismal state of tody’s life and regularity of days. For example, the lunch in isolation and stress that we spice up by sharing several social contributions of our bubble and together with our excited repeated gentle hit on our phone’s disply in the area where the rounded arrow is lit up. Through the dream to return to nature and the citation of the accumulation of not only plastic things bit also textiles and others stuff that we throw out from an old shed on the dump only to buy it again a few years later in a hobby market, she arouses the desire for greater curiosity leading to a better view of reality.
Pleas enjoy it, is was made for you.
