IF (TRANING IN MATERIALS AND TOOLS)
‘If [training in materials and tools]’ is a work by occasional collaborators Roman Štětina (b. 1986) and Tomáš Moravec (b. 1985). Both belong to the most recent fine art generation and have a history of works that intervene in the public space.
For the exhibition at MeetFactory Cube Gallery the artists have realised a project that is a monument to cooperation. The work is based on the journey taken by the pair from the idea all the way to the Gallery. The resulting physical installation combines tension with harmony mirroring the journey undertaken by the two artists.
