Brave World (katalog)
Detailní popis produktu
The exhibition presented the new work of five artists – Primož Bizjak (*1976), Robert Gabris (*1986), Markéta Magidová (*1984), Anne Neukamp (*1976) and Yuli Yamagata (*1989) – who from different positions and through new approaches negotiate the ideology of the image in our contemporary society. All five artists and their works are united by a poetics of eagerness to capture moments that might make life possible in parallel worlds with fewer frictional surfaces. Primož Bizjak's photographs depict landscapes and cities in large formats, but actually reveal several layers beyond the depicted nature and architecture, as if the process of photography becomes a "painting" with meanings beyond the recognizable. Robert Gabris's drawings seemingly follow the rules of proportion and perspective, although he leads us into a surprisingly seductive fantasy world through mimetic means common in art history. The avatars in the animated films by Markéta Magidová inhabit a world in which digital characters meet sculptures and other works of art familiar from the analogue environment, all with a critical commentary on society. The depicted objects and motifs from Internet sources are often structural fragments of Anne Neukamp's paintings, in which the artist plays with proximity and distance to seemingly recognizable everyday objects. The counterpoint to the idea of a "brave new world" are the sculptures with an erotic charge, paintings and reliefs by Yuli Yamagata, whose work once again takes us beyond the boundaries of rationality towards a world of fantasy and desire. In addition to reproductions of the works and photographs from the exhibition, the one hundred and thirty-five-page publication also includes interviews with the artists and texts by Tevže Logar and Gregor Podnar. The catalogue is written in Czech and English.
