VELKÉ G / MISCELLANEA
Profesor Miloš Šejn působí na poli vizuálního umění, prezentace a studia vizuálního vnímání, často prostřednictvím tematických workshopů, především ve spolupráci se sdružením Bohemiae Rosa. Jeho umělecký koncept se formoval v mládí, v období, kdy absolvoval řadu minimálních i rozsáhlejších cest. Práce Miloše Šejna jsou výsledkem vnitřní potřeby být blíže tajemství přírody a využívají řeči obrazu, kresby, autorské knihy, fotografie či videa.
- The last thing that might survive from art00:00:01.860
- 00:00:01.860
- are the relationships we have00:00:06.791
- 00:00:06.791
- with natural materials,00:00:09.038
- 00:00:09.038
- elements and landscape as such00:00:11.084
- 00:00:11.084
- and I think that is enough00:00:14.228
- 00:00:14.228
- and I consider the exhibition to be open.00:00:16.332
- 00:00:16.332
- It is safe to say that00:00:25.794
- 00:00:25.794
- this collection is, of course,00:00:27.541
- 00:00:27.541
- a selection from a wider whole,00:00:30.778
- 00:00:30.778
- and these works are linked00:00:33.996
- 00:00:33.996
- strictly to the landscape of Český ráj.00:00:37.425
- 00:00:37.425
- Český ráj is typical00:00:40.777
- 00:00:40.777
- for its sandstone rocks, passes,00:00:44.767
- 00:00:44.767
- deep gorges and very interesting springs,00:00:47.844
- 00:00:47.844
- and more than half of the works00:00:53.934
- 00:00:53.934
- we can see here00:00:57.913
- 00:00:57.913
- are actually linked to springs as well,00:00:59.536
- 00:00:59.536
- so it is a peculiar connection,00:01:04.246
- 00:01:04.246
- rocks and water,00:01:06.423
- 00:01:06.423
- and then something a little bit different00:01:08.114
- 00:01:08.114
- is the coming of a man into the landscape,00:01:10.167
- 00:01:10.167
- and that is the black, the fire.00:01:15.783
- 00:01:15.783
- It is actually safe to say00:01:18.343
- 00:01:18.343
- that the eventual footprint00:01:20.042
- 00:01:20.042
- of the touch of a man00:01:22.411
- 00:01:22.411
- is the black colour, which is strange,00:01:24.204
- 00:01:24.204
- I had never thought about that before.00:01:26.655
- 00:01:26.655
- Because as I said a moment ago,00:01:28.757
- 00:01:28.757
- the most lively is the yellow colour,00:01:31.093
- 00:01:31.093
- which is a preserved, intact material00:01:34.520
- 00:01:34.520
- of a certain kind of lichen that lives on rock,00:01:40.988
- 00:01:40.988
- and if it got back into its natural habitat,00:01:44.767
- 00:01:44.767
- the lichen can live for thousands of years,00:01:50.273
- 00:01:50.273
- the spores can incase themselves00:01:52.391
- 00:01:52.391
- and it is, it is not a timed bomb00:01:55.913
- 00:01:55.913
- as Cílek kind of suggested,00:01:59.378
- 00:01:59.378
- but it is actually a way of00:02:02.842
- 00:02:02.842
- carrying a message to the future.00:02:04.764
- 00:02:04.764
- This is typical for my work00:02:06.871
- 00:02:06.871
- in the middle of the eighties.00:02:13.573
- 00:02:13.573
- It is the result of what I was doing00:02:16.697
- 00:02:16.697
- since the end of the seventies,00:02:20.359
- 00:02:20.359
- For many years I used classic oil colours,00:02:22.429
- 00:02:22.429
- those were what I called gorge series00:02:31.255
- 00:02:31.255
- because I would go to00:02:35.044
- 00:02:35.044
- certain spots of mine into the rocks00:02:36.685
- 00:02:36.685
- and over the course of time,00:02:40.049
- 00:02:40.049
- because I really would come back00:02:44.185
- 00:02:44.185
- to the exact same spots,00:02:46.912
- 00:02:46.912
- then I realized I wasn't really00:02:49.857
- 00:02:49.857
- looking at the rocks,00:02:56.228
- 00:02:56.228
- I was just experiencing the feeling of the place,00:02:58.611
- 00:02:58.611
- and then I realized that the colors,00:03:04.916
- 00:03:04.916
- I really mastered them00:03:07.605
- 00:03:07.605
- and then I simply got bored of it,00:03:12.838
- 00:03:12.838
- so I reached out for the intact colours00:03:17.780
- 00:03:17.780
- that were all around me,00:03:21.553
- 00:03:21.553
- and that is how it all started.00:03:23.577
