MF Sounds + miniprofil galerie Zeď
Jana Babincová, která se ve své tvorbě dlouhodobě věnuje principům kódování textu, zvuku či pohybu do velkoformátových site-specific maleb či instalací, pro Galerii Zeď vytvořila dílo, jehož rytmus je odvozen ze směru a intenzity zvuků v okolí MeetFactory: tramvaje, vlaky, auta projíždějící po dálnici, hmyz, kroky, hlasy…
- The painting called MF Sounds or MeetFactory Sounds00:00:02.921
- 00:00:02.921
- was painted on the basis of surrounding sounds.00:00:08.611
- 00:00:08.611
- First I simply sketched a drawing,00:00:12.080
- 00:00:12.080
- I was just sitting and drawing with00:00:15.805
- 00:00:15.805
- a pencil the directions of all the sounds00:00:19.970
- 00:00:19.970
- appearing here and their shapes.00:00:24.799
- 00:00:24.799
- Then I transferred the drawing on the wall and00:00:28.339
- 00:00:28.339
- I abstracted all the sounds I had found00:00:32.932
- 00:00:32.932
- the most crucial and interesting.00:00:35.972
- 00:00:35.972
- I picked the colours according to the00:00:40.044
- 00:00:40.044
- MeetFactory's surroundings so that it was site specific,00:00:42.999
- 00:00:42.999
- as well as the shapes emerging from the MeetFactory surrounds00:00:47.725
- 00:00:47.725
- and at the same time from the shapes of00:00:51.597
- 00:00:51.597
- sounds as I had perceived them.00:00:53.853
- 00:00:53.853
- According to my own coding principle,00:01:04.002
- 00:01:04.002
- the biggest shapes are painted in the direction00:01:06.701
- 00:01:06.701
- from which the sound represented00:01:10.284
- 00:01:10.284
- by the shape came and00:01:12.512
- 00:01:12.512
- the most noticeable sounds here are the biggest shapes,00:01:15.130
- 00:01:15.130
- the small detailed shapes are complementary sounds00:01:20.090
- 00:01:20.090
- such as an occasional cricket chirping,00:01:25.298
- 00:01:25.298
- something falling or something unexpected.00:01:26.989
- 00:01:26.989
- These exceptional sounds are the smaller shapes.00:01:29.954
- 00:01:29.954
- There is also a whirl of sounds00:01:42.117
- 00:01:42.117
- I heard right on the spot,00:01:44.826
- 00:01:44.826
- so painting the whole area also resulted from00:01:51.673
- 00:01:51.673
- me standing aside and feeling all the sounds.00:01:57.107
- 00:01:57.107
- The small detail over there is an extra one I made00:02:01.455
- 00:02:01.455
- when standing at the wall and that's all I guess.00:02:04.556
- 00:02:04.556
- The Wall Gallery is one of three gallery projects of MeetFactory.00:02:16.298
- 00:02:16.298
- We regard the side wall of MeetFactory00:02:21.864
- 00:02:21.864
- as a real gallery space which00:02:27.453
- 00:02:27.453
- isn't just a space for00:02:29.224
- 00:02:29.224
- permanent realization in a form of a legal wall00:02:30.906
- 00:02:30.906
- but rather a space for various projects.00:02:34.928
- 00:02:34.928
- The wall has a relatively long tradition,00:02:38.764
- 00:02:38.764
- at first there were presented projects00:02:41.016
- 00:02:41.016
- coming out from street art and graffiti tradition.00:02:44.024
- 00:02:44.024
- There was also a festival of animated graffiti Fagani,00:02:47.978
- 00:02:47.978
- which was a unique attempt to show00:02:51.460
- 00:02:51.460
- street art or graffiti production in process,00:03:05.664
- 00:03:05.664
- subsequently to create videos and animations00:03:10.787
- 00:03:10.787
- with the viewers' involvement too.00:03:15.097
- 00:03:15.097
- Recently I have been trying to unify00:03:17.780
- 00:03:17.780
- the programme with the conception of00:03:21.258
- 00:03:21.258
- the other two galleries and to follow up with00:03:23.731
- 00:03:23.731
- projects taking place in the main gallery,00:03:27.287
- 00:03:27.287
- with collective exhibitions and possibly with the Kostka Gallery.00:03:30.624
- 00:03:30.624
- I don't want to approach just artists00:03:34.431
- 00:03:34.431
- proceeding from the street context00:03:36.649
- 00:03:36.649
- because there are many legal walls in Prague so these forms00:03:39.229
- 00:03:39.229
- are represented enough in the city I guess.00:03:42.968
- 00:03:42.968
- I'm rather interested in artists dealing with00:03:48.983
- 00:03:48.983
- painting, conceptual art or installation.00:03:52.968
- 00:03:52.968
- Providing them with such a large space00:03:56.945
- 00:03:56.945
- is a certain challenge for them.00:04:00.206
- 00:04:00.206
- They can work on a project which isn't00:04:02.568
- 00:04:02.568
- quite typical of their work00:04:04.901
- 00:04:04.901
- at least the size is not typical.00:04:06.979
- 00:04:06.979
- When I approached for example Aleš Čermák,00:04:09.564
- 00:04:09.564
- he told me he hadn't realized a drawing00:04:12.455
- 00:04:12.455
- bigger than a size of a moleskine diary.00:04:15.348
- 00:04:15.348
- Then he made a huge enlargement of00:04:18.254
- 00:04:18.254
- a very simple little drawing on the wall00:04:23.040
- 00:04:23.040
- which worked very well with the surroundings.00:04:27.031
- 00:04:27.031
- Visually it presented something completely different from00:04:31.409
- 00:04:31.409
- what we usually expect from such spaces.00:04:34.899
- 00:04:34.899
- Then there were other projects00:04:38.176
- 00:04:38.176
- often following in the MeetFactory gallery collective exhibitions.00:04:40.277
- 00:04:40.277
- The curators Daniel Vlček and Miloš Vojtěchovský00:04:44.327
- 00:04:44.327
- invited Jiří Valoch to display on the wall00:04:47.108
- 00:04:47.108
- which was a very specific project.00:04:50.583
- 00:04:50.583
- It was a text which was at the same time00:04:53.206
- 00:04:53.206
- a part of the exhibition.00:04:55.962
- 00:04:55.962
- Robert Šalanda was presented here as well00:04:57.829
- 00:04:57.829
- with his project oscillating between a painting,00:05:00.237
- 00:05:00.237
- text, word and a colour.00:05:03.191
- 00:05:03.191
- I would like to continue with this tradition.00:05:05.712
- 00:05:05.712
- For the next year we plan for example00:05:09.155
- 00:05:09.155
- a project with Karel Kunc.00:05:11.659
- 00:05:11.659
- It should be an installation without using a paint,00:05:13.710
- 00:05:13.710
- it should be just a shape created00:05:19.063
- 00:05:19.063
- from pieces of glass, so it's going to be00:05:22.266
- 00:05:22.266
- something between a relief and a sculpture.00:05:26.846
- 00:05:26.846
- The project of Jana Babincová fits in this conception in a way,00:05:30.177
- 00:05:30.177
- although she works as a painter,00:05:35.471
- 00:05:35.471
- she also deals with installations or large site specific paintings.00:05:38.884
- 00:05:38.884
- I guess this is the biggest area she has worked with.00:05:45.556
- 00:05:45.556
- I find such form interesting because00:05:55.847
- 00:05:55.847
- I regard it as a different aesthetics from the one00:05:59.714
- 00:05:59.714
- we usually encounter at such places in the city.00:06:04.161
