Accelerationism
The mini-symposium “Bauhaus and Functionalism” examines the reception and interpretation of the emergence of Functionalism in Czechoslovakia in the interwar period and connections with Bauhaus in Germany. The leading theorist of the modernist avant-garde Karel Teige and his teaching at the Bauhaus are ideal examples of networking between these countries.
David Přílučík takes the viewer to a situation of a generic TED Talk presentation full of techno-optimistic rhetorics, an endless potetial and right decisions. Peter Davis, a creative professional, a manager and a bureaucrat from Silicon Valley is a mere fictional figure from the no longer existent corporation Worldwide Motion Pictures Group, established by Přílučík to be able to relativise utopian commitments of similar companies.
The 35m2 gallery presents two monumental works, two different environments. Both spaces are based on the same material context, the same material language. Yet each of these realizations appeals to different senses using different techniques and materials. These new spatial configurations, structures, and installations, which shape our spatial orientation and navigation through space, primarily appeal to our basic senses, our sensory memory, and our individual/private memory.
