• 00:00:15.054
• My favorite medium is video.00:00:20.364

• I use it to express my opinions on the themes I deal with.00:00:26.100
• 00:00:26.100
• Apart from videos, I also make installations00:00:32.677
• 00:00:32.677
• that interact with the viewers00:00:39.332
• 00:00:39.332
• and make them participate in the artwork.00:00:42.832
• 00:00:42.832
• One of my main themes is the role of art00:00:47.373
• 00:00:47.373
• in contemporary society,00:00:51.873
• 00:00:51.873
• the way art is perceived not only by experts,00:00:55.373
• 00:00:55.373
• but also by the general public.00:01:00.873
• 00:01:00.873
• In addition, I like working with language.00:01:08.054
• 00:01:08.054
• Through these themes,00:01:13.880
• 00:01:13.880
• I try to create my own definition of the meaning of art.00:01:16.880
• 00:01:16.880
• The video "A Chat About a Potential Concept"00:01:22.380
• 00:01:22.380
• was shot in 2007.00:01:27.136
• 00:01:27.136
• I asked several Slovak curators, artists and art teachers00:01:30.341
• 00:01:30.341
• to say a certain phrase in front of the camera.00:01:36.514
• 00:01:36.514
• I recorded several phrases00:01:41.236
• 00:01:41.236
• but this was the one I finally chose.00:01:44.736
• 00:01:44.736
• The phrase is "A chat about a potential concept".00:01:49.236
• 00:01:49.236
• The video is a set of portraits of people who work with art,00:01:53.987
• 00:01:53.987
• repeating the same phrase.00:01:59.634
• 00:01:59.634
• Some of them focus on it, others are more distracted.00:02:02.720
• 00:02:02.720
• "A chat about a conceptual poten... wait, no.00:02:08.244

• 00:02:18.032
• The video "Gestures"00:02:22.567
• 00:02:22.567
• deals with another theme I find interesting.00:02:26.349
• 00:02:26.349
• In sign language,00:02:32.247
• 00:02:32.247
• there are very few signs denoting art as such.00:02:35.747
• 00:02:35.747
• It only has some basic signs for painting or a brush.00:02:41.104
• 00:02:41.104
• That's why I created a list of frequent terms00:02:46.956
• 00:02:46.956
• relating to contemporary art.00:02:52.456
• 00:02:52.456

• 00:02:56.026
• and two young deaf people.00:03:00.482
• 00:03:00.482
• I explained the terms to them and they translated them for me.00:03:04.013
• 00:03:04.013

• 00:03:10.353
• The video tutorial focuses on the correct behavior00:03:16.026
• 00:03:16.026
• in a gallery for all gallery goers.00:03:21.136

• 00:03:25.253
• It's a short instruction video about the basic situations00:03:31.593
• 00:03:31.593
• one can encounter in a gallery.00:03:37.812
• 00:03:37.812
• Of course there is a slight educational meaning,00:03:45.183
• 00:03:45.183
• but also a mild criticism of the idea of a perfect viewer.00:03:52.950
• 00:03:52.950
• Are we, the artists, perfect viewers?00:03:59.014
• 00:03:59.014

• 00:04:05.459
• of portraits of artists and curators I met in Leipzig.00:04:10.459

• 00:04:16.551
• the way they try to understand an artwork.00:04:22.906
• 00:04:22.906

• 00:04:27.773
• on how to perceive an artwork.00:04:32.355
• 00:04:32.355
• In fact, I put them in the role of gallery viewers.00:04:36.303
• 00:04:36.303
• They were not artists talking about their own works00:04:42.286
• 00:04:42.286
• but regular gallery goers00:04:48.286
• 00:04:48.286
• talking about the way they look at others' works.00:04:52.148
• 00:04:52.148
• Where can I find...00:04:57.094
• 00:04:57.094
• ...a good gallery?00:05:02.804
• 00:05:02.804
