• Dominik Lang WAITING ROOM National Gallery - Veletržní palác00:00:10.405
• 00:00:10.405
• The name of the exhibition is "Waiting-room" which not only reflects the metaphor of the National Gallery00:00:16.265
• 00:00:16.265
• as an institution that has in a way been waiting for some changes for the last twenty years but00:00:25.563
• 00:00:25.563
• I was also interested in the term "waiting" in a more general sense too,00:00:34.133
• 00:00:34.133
• in any kind of waiting-room, when you find yourself waiting in an interspace or between time,00:00:40.495
• 00:00:40.495
• between two realities, with more space for imagination.00:00:47.832
• 00:00:47.832
• The original idea was that a chair apart from other things also represents a position in institution,00:00:53.695
• 00:00:53.695
• so I have been interested for quite a long time in the way an institution00:00:59.826
• 00:00:59.826
• as a kind of a functional structure works00:01:05.929
• 00:01:05.929
• and those chairs are just gathered from different places, rearranged to change the relationship, the hierarchy,00:01:09.531
• 00:01:09.531
• the position, the direction, in order to show the structure a bit differently,00:01:15.324
• 00:01:15.324
• without harsh criticism and comments whether someone should lose his chair/position or gain one.00:01:20.347
• 00:01:20.347
• The chairs here are from the employees of the National Gallery.00:01:26.909
• 00:01:26.909
• Thanks to Olin Bystřický, who works here, I was able to address several dozens of employees00:01:32.480
• 00:01:32.480
• and ask them to lend me their chairs.00:01:37.605
• 00:01:37.605
• My idea was to get chairs related to different positions,00:01:42.395
• 00:01:42.395
• to different places in the building of the National Gallery.00:01:48.540
• 00:01:48.540
• I wanted the chairs to meet in one place and transform in a sculptural dialogue into a functional object.00:01:52.214
• 00:01:52.214
• It is not meant to be an exhibition of chairs.00:02:04.084
• 00:02:04.084
• But again we find ourselves in a museum where it is common to see some kind of an object on a plinth,00:02:05.913
• 00:02:05.913
• and here it is clear that the chairs have no special value and so the viewers pay a different type of attention to them,00:02:11.237
• 00:02:11.237
• and the plinth originates undoubtedly in course of a process and within some kind of spatial interaction.00:02:18.792
• 00:02:18.792
• As regards the spatial installation, in the first phase I opened up the space,00:02:30.941
• 00:02:30.941
• after a long time we got rid of the panels,00:02:39.259
• 00:02:39.259
• and we can see, especially during the day, that there are no walls here,00:02:40.989
• 00:02:40.989
• just a few columns, but it enables a view in all directions,00:02:45.811
• 00:02:45.811
• I tried to create a space which can be watched from the outside and which also enables you to get inside.00:02:49.169
• 00:02:49.169
• That´s why between the columns you see grids resembling the surrounding glass walls,00:02:56.688
• 00:02:56.688
• forming an illusion of the "outside" and "inside" so that you can enter and look at individual details.00:03:02.187
