• The exhibition Start Up Position opens a two-year research project00:00:17.942
• 00:00:17.942
• called The Position of Curator dealing with curatorial issues00:00:21.354
• 00:00:21.354
• from different perspectives at the Czech art platform00:00:27.764
• 00:00:27.764
• 00:00:27.764
• focused entirely on contemporary art.00:00:31.412
• 00:00:31.412
• We decided to prepare an exhibition which00:00:34.607
• 00:00:34.607
• is going to have a relay like going.00:00:38.838
• 00:00:38.838
• Different curators will successively hand on the artworks like a relay.00:00:42.427
• 00:00:42.427
• For the first part of the exhibition I approached the curator Lenka Sýkorová00:00:52.157
• 00:00:52.157
• and together we prepared this exhibition.00:00:57.158
• 00:00:57.158
• In two weeks the exhibition will be taken over by00:01:00.375
• 00:01:00.375
• Karina Kottová who deals with an interpretation00:01:03.029
• 00:01:03.029
• or mediation of artworks.00:01:06.479
• 00:01:06.479
• Then the exhibition will be taken over00:01:10.448
• 00:01:10.448
• for the next two weeks by the artist Jan Krtička00:01:12.676
• 00:01:12.676
• who deals with a curator-ship in his work.00:01:16.191
• 00:01:16.191
• I picked out six authors who review in some way00:01:27.717
• 00:01:27.717
• the mediums they mostly work with.00:01:32.789
• 00:01:32.789
• For example Jan Pfeiffer who likes working with places related to human beings.00:01:36.862
• 00:01:36.862
• His work Some Things Pass is presented at the exhibition.00:01:47.087
• 00:01:47.087
• Another thing is that I went for artworks which had already been exhibited somewhere.00:01:51.579
• 00:01:51.579
• I created Emocionéra for the gallery Altán Klamovka00:02:04.596
• 00:02:04.596
• which is a very specific place of a Gothic gazebo00:02:08.178
• 00:02:08.178
• about three times three metres and I made the installation right for the place.00:02:11.448
• 00:02:11.448
• As for the cycle of objects called 3D Paintings...00:02:17.659
• 00:02:17.659
• Originally I engaged rather in painting and00:02:23.280
• 00:02:23.280
• I felt an urge to shift the painting slightly to 3D forms.00:02:26.491
• 00:02:26.491
• First the paintings gained reliefs and then00:02:32.513
• 00:02:32.513
• the reliefs came off the paintings and the 3D objects appeared.00:02:35.887
• 00:02:35.887
• The objects are not sculptures.00:02:40.183
• 00:02:40.183
• A sculptor would deal with them in a completely different way,00:02:41.851
• 00:02:41.851
• he wouldn't use a paint but he would choose a single material00:02:44.614
• 00:02:44.614
• and make use of the material's colour.00:02:48.715
• 00:02:48.715
• But I have a painting approach so I created an object which00:02:53.367
• 00:02:53.367
• is geometrical, three-dimensional and I treated it as a painter.00:02:58.264
• 00:02:58.264
• The project should specify and set the basic position of a curator.00:03:07.472
• 00:03:07.472
• Whether he is an artist or rather an author,00:03:15.610
• 00:03:15.610
• what his work involves,00:03:17.827
• 00:03:17.827
• what are his duties and responsibilities,00:03:20.247
• 00:03:20.247
• what he should primarily deal with.00:03:22.961
• 00:03:22.961
• We decided to choose artworks which do the same with themselves00:03:26.428
• 00:03:26.428
• or with the medium each artist deals with or with the art itself.00:03:34.062
• 00:03:34.062
• I made the sculpture Tree Phallus after walking in00:03:43.806
• 00:03:43.806
• the park Stromovka and looking at trees.00:03:47.660
• 00:03:47.660
• The trees had gnarls after cut off branches and they00:03:51.246
• 00:03:51.246
• reminded me of female genitals.00:03:56.466
• 00:03:56.466
• So I decided to make an opposite,00:03:59.251
• 00:03:59.251
• kind of a tree phallus represented here in the process of ejaculation.00:04:01.485
• 00:04:01.485
• It occurred to me that trees in parks see what people are doing under them,00:04:11.176
• 00:04:11.176
• and it appeared nice to me to humanize the trees somehow.00:04:20.445
• 00:04:20.445
• I wanted to connect the organic material of tree stumps with00:04:26.784
• 00:04:26.784
• a design shape which is white, clean and beautiful.00:04:34.546
• 00:04:34.546
• I wanted to connect these two contrasting matters.00:04:40.941
• 00:04:40.941
• Then I made a small comic or a video which I edited right on the spot.00:04:45.973
• 00:04:45.973
• There you can see an intercourse of a man, a woman and a tree creating a small porn there.00:04:53.013
• 00:04:53.013
• At the exhibition I present parts of physical videos00:05:10.501
• 00:05:10.501
• I have been dealing with for a long time.00:05:14.257
• 00:05:14.257
• These three videos are not intended to be a triptych,00:05:18.106
• 00:05:18.106
• they were put together in the course of time.00:05:22.524
• 00:05:22.524
• I have been working with the principle of placing objects through a human body.00:05:28.126
• 00:05:28.126
• The model is mainly me but I don't want to have it as the main inspiration line.00:05:39.337
• 00:05:39.337
• I make use of the body rather as a matter or a medium,00:05:46.325
• 00:05:46.325
• it's almost a sculpture like principle.00:05:52.766
• 00:05:52.766
• I rather aim for an asexuality...00:05:59.049
• 00:05:59.049
• My work is also distinguished by the absence of time,00:06:03.868
• 00:06:03.868
• accenting a simple human existence,00:06:08.795
• 00:06:08.795
• a fragment of a corporeality,00:06:13.266
• 00:06:13.266
• being immersed in going through a simple moment...00:06:17.213
• 00:06:17.213
• My work is called Segment.00:06:35.607
• 00:06:35.607
• It is six white boards hung up on the gallery wall.00:06:37.515
• 00:06:37.515
• At first sight the installation looks like six ordinary white boards00:06:41.518
• 00:06:41.518
• but if you take a close look you will be pleasantly surprised.00:06:46.070
• 00:06:46.070
• I wanted to create a direct painting or a sample of opinions00:06:59.247
• 00:06:59.247
• about the Sudeten Germans displacement.00:07:05.462
• 00:07:05.462
• The discussion is connected with a photograph showing German residents00:07:08.747
• 00:07:08.747
• who were made to kneel all day long with a swastika on their foreheads00:07:15.013
• 00:07:15.013
• and then they were loaded on a truck and went around the town00:07:19.587
• 00:07:19.587
• to ask the Czech residents for forgiveness.00:07:23.011
• 00:07:23.011
• I didn't try to manipulate the reality anyhow,00:07:26.845
• 00:07:26.845
• I just simply copied the whole discussion including00:07:30.434
• 00:07:30.434
• all my grammatical mistakes, the original font00:07:33.622
• 00:07:33.622
• and the photograph the discussion is related to.00:07:37.660
• 00:07:37.660
• I present a twig called The Component,00:07:49.692
• 00:07:49.692
• the name should suggest a high-technology element,00:07:53.942
• 00:07:53.942
• a part of a complex technical whole,00:07:58.483
• 00:07:58.483
• although in reality most of the work is just a natural twig.00:08:03.037
• 00:08:03.037
• I enjoy mingling matters and certain meanings related to them.00:08:07.937
• 00:08:07.937
• I like installations on the ground or floor,00:08:20.092
• 00:08:20.092
• so the twig is just going to be thrown carelessly on the floor.00:08:24.061
