The Metabolic Perspective

Economics is merely a continuation of nature by other means – terms like ’logistics’ or ’infrastructure’ can be applied equally well to the production and transportation of goods as to photosynthesis and food chains. But what if we were to begin considering human culture and communication as part of the planet’s natural metabolisms?

WE HAVE STOPPED COMMUNICATING WITH THE WORLD LONG AGO

Hands and other limbs are considered part of the body. Why then couldn’t all beings who possess a body be considered as part of a single being? There is no such thing as a disabled body, but only disabled socioeconomic systems.

LAST SURVIVORS

“Yes, it’s true! We brought Mozart’s penis from Salzburg”.

Opera directors Veronika Loulová and Vilma Bořkovec set out to explore their frustrations about the opera world - where each seeks to express these grievances through her own particular style. In their first and probably last exhibition LAST SURVIVORS they take a critical look at the boundaries of opera and the rigidity of the system that still prevails in opera. –>

vast terrain, shifting perspective – vast perspective, shifting terrain

Exhibition is a part of Fotograf Festival #10

Perspective is a question of seeing and taking action. Both of which are directly connected to the experience of space. We now inhabit a living environment and communications space that ask or allow for a multitude of perspectives. In light of this it is possible to again pose the question as to the nature of social documentary photography. –>

Simple Present Tense

Seven students exhibiting their diploma projects derive their initial experience from photography. Each one's practice has evolved over time and each one has arrived at utilizing a different medium and an original language of their own. No common theme is treated in the Simple Present Tense exhibition, it is rather shared physical and psychological conditions in which all the works were conceived. A situation of informational overload, insecurity, and extreme change in how we perceive physical reality produced strategies of radical honesty, flexibility, and the necessity for new precision. –>

29. 8. – 6. 9. 2020

Step Aside

The exhibition’s title Step Aside serves the exhibited artists as a metaphor, one which shows the desire to view the development of our civilization from new angles. This can mean conscious deceleration, comprehending the repercussions of our actions, attempting a sustainable future and the role of the artist within it, or drawing attention to marginalized social groups or phenomena.
–>

8. 7. – 23. 8. 2020

Effort

The second part of the project dedicated to physical movement, dance and choreography in contemporary art interrogates physical exertion and the act of labor. The will and energy to move is not only connected with a number of functional mechanisms and the fulfillment of an ideal effectiveness in the field of the human body, but is also a landscape which is integrally political, a place of control and resistance, physical effects and their symbolic manifestations. The exhibiting artists meet in a network of structures suspended between these two polarities.
–>

5. 3. – 28. 6. 2020

Choreography of Thought

Can be physical movement a metaphor of our thought? Can it be understood as a possibility to relate to thinking processes different from their mere verbalisation? This project is built around these questions. The exhibition is accompanying series of lectures, screenings and discussions.

Icons and Mythologies: The Desire of Changes

The exhibition focuses on the concept of engagement through the resumption of iconic figures and the construction of personal mythologies, such as the figure of Sun Ra, Patrice Lumumba or Angela Davis, and collective actions such as the revival of a Russian revolutionary song; a popular legend; the analysis of images controlled by a political regime.

CHEAP ART

Is it possible to create an entire art exhibition only by using recycled materials? Cheap Art reflects the long-term interest of the exhibiting artistic duo in the topic of ecology and the relationship of the human to nature. However, this theme has never before been so emphatically pronounced in their work. Through this experiment, the artists are also striving for radical change in their own creative practice. –>

AMERICAN IDENTITIES

The fundamental truth of the American identity lies in its multiplicity. By speaking simultaneously about individual identity and shared experience, current and former students of the Photography program in the Art Department at SUNY, New Paltz, have found a perfect metaphor for the American identity. „While we remain distinct in history, we are all, ultimately, American,“ says one of the exhibition curators, Leah Renee Monsour. –>
