Ostrov stability
- The exhibition The Island of Stability is an exhibition of two young artists from Žilina - Ján Gašparovic and Jaroslav Kyša.00:00:00.000
- 00:00:00.000
- Jano Gašparovic works with things related to science, with chemical compounds, elements and acids.00:00:12.956
- 00:00:12.956
- But in this case he kept only the title coming from science, which is also metaphorical.00:00:27.585
- 00:00:27.585
- He presents four works together with Jaro, all of them are somehow dealing with stability,00:00:38.054
- 00:00:38.054
- but it is on the edge, all the four works are very distinctive and independent,00:00:43.706
- 00:00:43.706
- and what is good about the exhibition is the way they are brought into accord.00:00:52.861
- 00:00:52.861
- Jano´s work titled Shelter as a place you can hide he walls are painted with special paints,00:00:57.001
- 00:00:57.001
- with Electro Shield - it shades any electromagnetic radiation, so there are no mobile and radio signals,00:01:11.135
- 00:01:11.135
- so there is a space of stability in communication as we live in era of wifi and network.00:01:22.296
- 00:01:22.296
- The work of Jaro Kyša Almost Fallen is a contrast to previous work of stability.00:01:44.288
- 00:01:44.288
- It an obvious lability, something constantly falling, he makes the mechanism aesthetic.00:01:50.130
- 00:01:50.130
- Jaro works with gallery object as an aesthetic object, but we worry about it as it is going to fall.00:02:10.878
- 00:02:10.878
- It is also about searching for the stability in another room, Jano creates an environment00:02:23.027
- 00:02:23.027
- in which he eliminates the communication on the level of sound by installing white noise.00:02:33.315
- 00:02:33.315
- 00:02:33.315
- There is a series of piezo transformers installed on the wall creating white noise.00:02:49.081
- 00:02:49.081
- To certain extend it is a paranoid installation as this system was used on KGB interrogations,00:02:54.941
- 00:02:54.941
- or it is being used by politicians.00:03:33.674
- 00:03:33.674
- Jaro Kyša completed this exhibition with his installation Pondering - it is a beaten circle00:03:40.263
- 00:03:40.263
- or some imprinted steps of a man or an animal going in circles - I mention also an animal00:03:52.471
- 00:03:52.471
- because it comes into one´s mind as it reminds the conditions of animals living in the zoo.00:04:05.201
- 00:04:05.201
- The installation expresses the hopelessness, somebody going in the circles to that extend00:04:19.965
- 00:04:19.965
- to leave a track on the floor.00:04:25.650
- 00:04:25.650
- It is an imprint left in loneliness and despair, on one side there is a dialogue held inside,00:04:28.599
- 00:04:28.599
- on other side it seems there is one lonely and desperate man with inner monologue,00:04:37.495
- 00:04:37.495
- 00:04:37.495
- as if there was a freak going around in circles.00:04:47.363
- 00:04:47.363
- It represents the space of nervousness, paranoia, any mental deviation in both cases but in different ways.00:04:51.852
