I Recommend
Sorry, this entry is only available in Czech.
- What do you recommend?00:00:00.880
- 00:00:00.880
- Well the exhibition name I Recommend00:00:02.653
- 00:00:02.653
- may appear egoistical a bit,00:00:05.787
- 00:00:05.787
- but it comes out from my work00:00:09.114
- 00:00:09.114
- where I play on the word "I recommend".00:00:11.884
- 00:00:11.884
- It's a verb which doesn't work without a context.00:00:16.287
- 00:00:16.287
- The verb brings the context to life,00:00:19.097
- 00:00:19.097
- but in my case, I played rather with the visuality00:00:22.210
- 00:00:22.210
- and into the text I distilled a symbol00:00:25.990
- 00:00:25.990
- of a quill, ink and a book00:00:29.994
- 00:00:29.994
- which metaphorically stand for a text,00:00:34.783
- 00:00:34.783
- both written and spoken.00:00:38.579
- 00:00:38.579
- So the text recommends itself,00:00:41.181
- 00:00:41.181
- actually the text recommends nothing.00:00:44.542
- 00:00:44.542
- It's a kind of recommendation recommending itself,00:00:47.865
- 00:00:47.865
- so it's a vicious circle, a zero point.00:00:52.541
- 00:00:52.541
- I keep all my work in a computer,00:00:58.037
- 00:00:58.037
- it comes out from things I have already painted.00:01:03.127
- 00:01:03.127
- I photograph them,00:01:06.289
- 00:01:06.289
- then I make a stencil and vary it in the computer.00:01:08.576
- 00:01:08.576
- This is only realization as00:01:14.128
- 00:01:14.128
- it was all ready in my computer.00:01:16.314
- 00:01:16.314
- I have been doing it this way for a long time,00:01:23.044
- 00:01:23.044
- I just repeat it and then vary it,00:01:25.550
- 00:01:25.550
- so the maps or illusions of run colour00:01:28.386
- 00:01:28.386
- are all done with a stencil.00:01:36.687
- 00:01:36.687
- The colour runs under and it's not perfect,00:01:42.576
- 00:01:42.576
- so it appears like an accident, but it's not.00:01:48.172
- 00:01:48.172
- I object to painting regarded as a purely intuitive matter,00:01:53.527
- 00:01:53.527
- that should absorb us and00:02:05.499
- 00:02:05.499
- there are many chances arising,00:02:08.185
- 00:02:08.185
- it's all beautiful and we relish it.00:02:11.298
- 00:02:11.298
- It bothers me a bit at the moment.00:02:16.621
- 00:02:16.621
- Second part of the exhibition is rather intuitive,00:02:21.661
- 00:02:21.661
- which goes for the painting behind me.00:02:26.985
- 00:02:26.985
- I play there not with the text but with00:02:30.944
- 00:02:30.944
- a typographic symbol which I take out of its context00:02:35.420
- 00:02:35.420
- and I supplement it with a visual game,00:02:43.769
- 00:02:43.769
- so this part is more conceptual00:02:47.750
- 00:02:47.750
- and the other one is rather quantitative.00:02:49.943
- 00:02:49.943
- In fact, this small exhibition shows00:02:52.507
- 00:02:52.507
- my two attitudes I often switch between.00:02:59.255
- 00:02:59.255
- When I'm tired by an abstract endless thinking,00:03:04.702
- 00:03:04.702
- I try to concern with concepts and vice versa.00:03:10.027
- 00:03:10.027
- It's kind of a gesture, meaning "accomplished".00:03:16.072
- 00:03:16.072
- I go into details when working,00:03:20.808
- 00:03:20.808
- first I didn't like it was too much on the left,00:03:26.139
- 00:03:26.139
- so I repainted it and moved it00:03:31.473
- 00:03:31.473
- one centimetre to the right and then it fitted.00:03:33.070
- 00:03:33.070
- I've been concerned with paper for a long time.00:03:40.631
- 00:03:40.631
- I was thinking about some rational reason00:03:44.359
- 00:03:44.359
- and I guess it's because I find canvas burdened.00:03:47.464
- 00:03:47.464
- I like the paper structure,00:03:57.198
- 00:03:57.198
- in the next room it's just nailed,00:04:00.679
- 00:04:00.679
- besides the framed paper there is also a print00:04:03.564
- 00:04:03.564
- and there is paper framed in a box00:04:08.868
- 00:04:08.868
- like in a museum.00:04:14.103
- 00:04:14.103
- These three versions show00:04:16.986
- 00:04:16.986
- how I've been treating paper recently.00:04:20.428
- 00:04:20.428
- As for the text...00:04:26.885
- 00:04:26.885
- At one moment I was dissatisfied00:04:28.905
- 00:04:28.905
- with painting and I felt an urge to extend00:04:32.468
- 00:04:32.468
- the fine art range of expression.00:04:36.136
- 00:04:36.136
- In past I would use the text in pictures00:04:41.111
- 00:04:41.111
- and now I started to develop it more.00:04:46.255
- 00:04:46.255
- Maybe because I want to be more extroverted.00:04:48.533
