ŘÍČKA 2
Petra Herotová intervals of treated personal and professional blending of art and curator practice.Petra Herotová has designed her exhibition as the penetration of one gallery to another. Gallery of the city of Blansko, where he works as a curator, transferred into the GM via the object by Marek Meduna Říčka, which was part of his exhibition in the GMB, and then in the video shooting of the Blansko gallery where Říčka originally stood. The most important link is Petra Herotová herself. Meduna’s Říčka in GM completed work related to the exhibition, which the GMB prepared. In them are blurring the boundaries between professional and personal history and reveals the ambivalent relationship of artist-curator to other artists or curators. The tension between subjective and institutional pole of its work transferred PH the whole exhibition project in GM.
