Kamila Valešová, Michaela Cagáňová
One of the enduring questions we explore this last year is whether scent and smells can be used as a tools for storytelling. The sociology and politics of scent remain largely unexplored, yet we all recognise that scents are often subject to rigid labels and gender stereotypes. Primarily however, scents represent interspecies narratives, as animals and plants primarily communicate through scent, without the need for language.
Maria Hlavajová
Her uniqueness, not only in the art world, lies in her sincerity and sincere interest in students and art, in integrity that feels almost unwavering, although she is in the position of power, in the ability to inspire people, especially in times when they feel that any effort is vain. Not because she would try to convince people – with here innate charisma – about some dogmatic truth of her approach toward art and artistic creation, but because her view on art she believes in and fights for resonates with people.
Iveta Šalamounová
In her exhibition designs she lays emphasis on simplicity, moderation and compactness. They do not hesitate to include also striking or unsettling elements. However, according to them it is essential that the design of the exhibition does not overpower or overshadow the exhibits but it must become their partner. They also believe that the installation may contribute to the interpretation of the displayed art works. It is equally important for them that the exhibition design is created in a mutual dialogue between all the people involved.
Dominik Lang
Dominik Lang has been involved in exhibition design for a long time. However, unlike other artists, his approach differs in the degree to which he emphasizes the creative aspects of the profession. The result often oscillates between exhibition design and autonomous installation while he himself admits that he deliberately violates this boundary. For this reason, he prefers the term "author of the exhibition's artistic design" or "author of the spatial design".
Jindřiška Jabůrková
Artistic practice of Jindřiška Jabůrková is interdisciplinary, includes installation, creation of objects, sometimes photography and video or performance. Her fascination is with the processes of transformation of matter, whether of human or natural origin. She is interested in the relationship between the human subject and nature, the relationship of man to the material world, sometimes deepened by the spiritual thoughts.
Lukáš Prokop
Artworks by Lukáš Prokop exceed simple categorization, as his work oscillates among various media: he deftly connects his work with video, graphic imaging, sculpture, photography, textile, writing or digital printing. By actively thematizing creative technological processes, Prokop’s work also intentionally problematizes his own authorial position as the sole producer of the artistic content/work.
Štěpán Pech, Noemi Purkrábková, Kateřina Svatoňová
Most people imagine academic work as a slow march up the steep steps of the Ivory Tower. It has its clear hierarchies, formal organization, its rules both written and unwritten. It requires diligence, distance and conscientious work. All that is often true and at times necessary. Therefore, not many people think that theory would be riveting or exciting. But the work of Kateřina Svatoňová shows us that theory is, first and foremost, an adventure.
