- 00:00:01.364
- The exhibition is called External Setup00:00:04.313
- 00:00:04.313
- the installation went through several phases,00:00:06.525
- 00:00:06.525
- first we had an idea it would be a kind of sculpture...00:00:10.487
- 00:00:10.487
- ... a sort of object.00:00:16.927
- 00:00:16.927
- But while working with the space we thought it would be better to get rid of the panels,00:00:20.958
- 00:00:20.958
- and create a kind of "installation system".00:00:30.625
- 00:00:30.625
- When we came to see the space we agreed we wouldn´t use the panels,00:00:37.229
- 00:00:37.229
- and that the drawings require something different,00:00:48.298
- 00:00:48.298
- and so we started thinking how to display the drawings in the space without panels00:00:50.434
- 00:00:50.434
- and find a system to hang them up.00:00:58.242
- 00:00:58.242
- We did not want to compete with the space,00:01:01.929
- 00:01:01.929
- the space is large enough and airy,00:01:07.720
- 00:01:07.720
- full of metal, so we wanted a subtle system, slightly resembling furniture,00:01:09.556
- 00:01:09.556
- lower setting, slightly lower suspension,00:01:17.501
- 00:01:17.501
- because the space is huge, the height is about 15 meters.00:01:22.991
- 00:01:22.991
- So we were looking for the right way to display the drawings,00:01:28.732
- 00:01:28.732
- without using the walls and panels.00:01:38.471
- 00:01:38.471
- Of course, Jirka mentioned the key topic in the text,00:01:40.104
- 00:01:40.104
- I have been interested in urban topics for a long time,00:01:45.998
- 00:01:45.998
- sedimentation or structure of towns.00:01:54.558
- 00:01:54.558
- The present exhibition deals with structuring,00:02:00.313
- 00:02:00.313
- the last nine months I focused almost entirely on squares and rectangles,00:02:04.923
- 00:02:04.923
- creating compositions for the drawings,00:02:13.675
- 00:02:13.675
- this is how it started but logically the drawings are further developed.00:02:19.523
- 00:02:19.523
- The initial impulses came for example from the Brussels style and socialist DIY,00:02:28.380
- 00:02:28.380
- and then came the clear structure of a network00:02:39.621
- 00:02:39.621
- and how to work with the network, what can be inserted into it,00:02:45.048
- 00:02:45.048
- the sources of inspiration were changing throughout the work.00:02:54.564
- 00:02:54.564
- As regards these plaster objects or transforming of drawings into plaster,00:02:59.810
- 00:02:59.810
- originally I had a different intention.00:03:10.602
- 00:03:10.602
- But after a discussion with Jirka00:03:15.044
- 00:03:15.044
- I thought it would be good to work with the drawing in plaster00:03:19.035
- 00:03:19.035
- in the same manner I do with the drawings.00:03:23.439
- 00:03:23.439
- We agreed it would be perhaps more interesting to transfer it into plaster00:03:30.760
- 00:03:30.760
- which was used in stucco decoration mainly in the 19th century,00:03:38.806
- 00:03:38.806
- and also refers to building material, which is quite cheap,00:03:45.727
- 00:03:45.727
- and I have been working with things related to building, masonry,00:03:52.065
- 00:03:52.065
- and construction materials but not in the crude sense of the word.00:04:00.241
