Juliana Höschlová (1987) studied in the Studio of Painting II under Vladimír Skrepl at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Her work is based on drawing and painting combined with performance features and social intervention. Her characteristic works often comment on how the world of consumerism works, she often mocks the world of advertising and tries to reflect our everyday visual reality in general.
The gallery Bunkr presents her project entitled Blue Sky, which was inspired by a recent series of talks on the topic of drones in the Berlin centre Künstlerhaus Bethanien. Höschlová intuitively works with certain research material and incorporates it into her art work. The starting point for her is a drawing which enables her to grasp the process of thinking, in this case about contemporary political and technical development. The project Blue Sky gives rise to questions related to the acceptance of this reality. What approach should she take to the use of the drone system, a tool, which may be used as highly sophisticated tool for research, for entertainment or exploration, as well as a hunter or a killer. The artist plays with databases of different shots symbolizing this visual production.
The Bunkr gallery is a non-institutional and non-commercial cultural space, which presents work of – not only – North Bohemian artists and writers. It reflects regional visual languages, probes into the field of activist art and collaborates with independent initiatives.
