Alegorie ptačí smrti
Výstavní plán galerie Prokopka směřuje k mladé a střední generaci výtvarníků a má obsáhnout všechny výtvarné obory od malby, fotografie, sochy až po nová média. Dalším vystavujícím je Ladislav Vondrák (narozen 1975), student VŠUP(2010) v ateliéru Fotografie.
Ve své tvorbě se zabývá videem, performancí a instalacemi. Jeho práce s videem je často podpořena performancí, tématicky v nich zpracovává osobní zkušenosti. Některá společenská témata zviditelňuje provokativní formou tvorby. V projektu „Pachuť“ Galerie Artwall (2012) se věnoval znechucením nad stavem současné politické scény.
V rámci projektu „Alegorie ptačí smrti“, instaluje Vondrák do galerie velkoformátovou malbu se znaky action paintingu, která se propojuje s performancí na vernisáži výstavy. Ve spolupráci s Rudolfem Skopcem.
„Alegorie ptačí smrti“ Přes veškerou úzkost, povolán. Povolán k věcem při nich se tají dech. Pád. Bezvládnost. Zbývá jen vzít za nohy a dokázat, že to vlastně šlo. Muselo to jít. Přes veškerou úzkost, povolán.
- The Allegory of a Bird's Death...00:00:44.044
- 00:00:44.044
- I will describe what's happening in the painting,00:00:45.983
- 00:00:45.983
- I am not going to speak about people,00:00:49.187
- 00:00:49.187
- because it's an allegory of a bird's death,00:00:50.589
- 00:00:50.589
- that's why I speak about birds.00:00:52.897
- 00:00:52.897
- We all know what an allegory means, I guess.00:00:55.106
- 00:00:55.106
- Eagle! Eagle!00:01:04.585
- 00:01:04.585
- Eagle!00:01:07.452
- 00:01:07.452
- A hero steps out from a crowd,00:01:16.693
- 00:01:16.693
- it's an eagle, a bird which can't00:01:19.476
- 00:01:19.476
- follow the crowd anymore,00:01:21.875
- 00:01:21.875
- it can't react to the injustice or certain situations00:01:25.563
- 00:01:25.563
- and it takes up the burden of heroics,00:01:32.002
- 00:01:32.002
- it rises from the crowd,00:01:35.078
- 00:01:35.078
- it may inspire someone, it may change something,00:01:38.586
- 00:01:38.586
- but in the end its flight up,00:01:41.389
- 00:01:41.389
- its outspread wings end up to no use00:01:44.186
- 00:01:44.186
- and it's falling down. Then I saw myself00:01:49.246
- 00:01:49.246
- lying on the pavement,00:01:55.925
- 00:01:55.925
- Rudolf was holding my legs...00:01:58.140
- 00:01:58.140
- Fly, eagle, fly!00:02:00.519
- 00:02:00.519
- Eagle!00:02:01.905
- 00:02:01.905
- Fly, eagle, fly!00:02:03.145
- 00:02:03.145
- Eagle!00:02:04.986
- 00:02:04.986
- I wonder how you apprehended my role,00:02:09.044
- 00:02:09.044
- whether it was just a helping element...00:02:13.203
- 00:02:13.203
- Certainly not the helping one00:02:17.395
- 00:02:17.395
- as we discussed it together...00:02:19.195
- 00:02:19.195
- Well, that's true...00:02:20.720
- 00:02:20.720
- Anyway, we fell down to the ground,00:02:25.053
- 00:02:25.053
- Rudolf wondered what to do with the fallen hero00:02:28.313
- 00:02:28.313
- or with someone who's lying on the pavement00:02:31.098
- 00:02:31.098
- and wants to be an eagle,00:02:33.500
- 00:02:33.500
- so he grabbed his legs and00:02:34.911
- 00:02:34.911
- dragged him along the street...00:02:36.005
- 00:02:36.005
- Through painting you I felt I gave you00:02:37.826
- 00:02:37.826
- one more chance to stand out for the last time00:02:41.498
- 00:02:41.498
- even you weren't capable of it after the fall.00:02:45.876
- 00:02:45.876
- I felt this role very intensively.00:02:49.567
- 00:02:49.567
- Eagle!00:02:57.744
- 00:02:57.744
- Fly, eagle, fly!00:02:58.694
- 00:02:58.694
- Eagle!00:03:01.305
- 00:03:01.305
- Fly, eagle, fly!00:03:03.468
- 00:03:03.468
- A track remains on the street and00:03:20.883
- 00:03:20.883
- there's this hotel canteen, an unusual kind of a gallery.00:03:24.081
- 00:03:24.081
- People from Žižkov and hotel guests meet00:03:31.371
- 00:03:31.371
- there every morning, they have breakfast00:03:34.037
- 00:03:34.037
- and we made an eagle tapestry for them00:03:39.762
- 00:03:39.762
- as a message encouraging them to rise up perhaps.00:03:43.110
- 00:03:43.110
- That was nice.00:03:50.195
