Toto je Mr. BRA

• About the exhibition "This is Mr.Bra"....00:00:07.821
• 00:00:07.821
• It all started when Fajka Gallery asked us to have a show00:00:11.414
• 00:00:11.414
• with a low budget that's why we are presenting projects00:00:17.040
• 00:00:17.040
• that were already ready, the only thing we produced for the show00:00:20.872
• 00:00:20.872
• was a big-format print. Everything started a long time ago00:00:25.513
• 00:00:25.513
• when Soros Foundation was still functioning.00:00:32.221
• 00:00:32.221
• At their last annual show, we decided with Richard Fajnor00:00:36.421
• 00:00:36.421
• to start an art group named Mr. Bra and even the first project00:00:41.508
• 00:00:41.508
• was called Bra. It was our project but we decided to get rid of00:00:45.898
• 00:00:45.898
• our identities and all the projects present00:00:54.626
• 00:00:54.626
• a virtual artist who would produce these objects.00:00:58.600
• 00:00:58.600
• Related to this is one of the more radical projects:00:01:03.901
• 00:01:03.901
• a video recording made for Studio Trisorio in Rome.00:01:11.053
• 00:01:11.053
• We had pieces of our skin taken that were then medically processed00:01:15.346
• 00:01:15.346
• so that it became our common skin that we then put in the interior of00:01:23.686
• 00:01:23.686
• the gallery so that the spectator entered the identity00:01:31.601
• 00:01:31.601
• of another fictional character.00:01:34.917
• 00:01:34.917
• This work in particular is actually a very simple structure,00:01:41.202
• 00:01:41.202
• a list of authorial acts or gestures that are usually00:01:47.949
• 00:01:47.949
• used in contemporary art and it is partly an open00:01:56.061
• 00:01:56.061
• installation: whoever can for example use the background00:02:04.422
• 00:02:04.422
• and take pictures of an artefact or a gesture00:02:12.247
• 00:02:12.247
• and next to it is an installation, a record of00:02:17.137
• 00:02:17.137
• artefacts or gestures - object gestures00:02:21.833
• 00:02:21.833
• that at the moment when this installation was being made00:02:26.772
• 00:02:26.772
• were fundamental for the creation of a complete statement.00:02:30.482
• 00:02:30.482
• There are other three projects in the exhibition,00:02:42.745
• 00:02:42.745
• a fragment from the Prague Biennale, I don't know the year,00:02:47.936
• 00:02:47.936
• where, in the context of particular tendencies in painting,00:02:53.519
• 00:02:53.519
• we had someone else make special white and black color00:02:59.093
• 00:02:59.093
• and the result was an installation but it was not successful00:03:02.483
• 00:03:02.483
• because the organizers thought they could pour out the color00:03:07.182
• 00:03:07.182
• so the whole thing was destroyed.00:03:09.840
• 00:03:09.840
• There is only an extra box with samples of the colors.00:03:11.419
• 00:03:11.419
• A year later, at another biennale - in Prague there are00:03:16.478
• 00:03:16.478
• two biennales - so we were at Knížák's biennale.00:03:21.211
• 00:03:21.211
• We did a performance which was about our impression00:03:25.076
• 00:03:25.076
• that visual art receives no recognition apart from00:03:28.656
• 00:03:28.656
• the fact that it is put on display. So this gesture of clapping -00:03:33.391
• 00:03:33.391
• the intensity of clapping depended on the quality of the work -00:03:39.842
• 00:03:39.842
• so we clapped before all the works included in the biennale00:03:44.394
• 00:03:44.394
• which lasted for three days.00:03:46.578
• 00:03:46.578
• There is a selection of our exhibition activities00:03:50.975
• 00:03:50.975
• the first photograph is from the first Soros exhibition and00:03:55.715
• 00:03:55.715
• the last photograph was taken at this exhibition.00:04:01.400
