Waiting for the Final Present in Absence

The works of Slovak artist Martin Vongrej (1986) are sketches and three-dimensional visualizations of organic relationships between reality, perception, human consciousness, internal and external reality, the visible and the hidden. Last year Vongrej was shortlisted for the Oskár Čepan Award; in 2010 he participated in Manifesta 8, the European biennial of contemporary art. His first solo exhibition in the Czech Republic took place several months ago at the Moravian Gallery in Brno.

Waiting for the Final Present in Absence
Kateřina Konvalinová’s video Corrective Relations: Bad Trip is inspired by the altered state of consciousness, new age mysticism and a phenomenon of the so-called normative event, meaning a strong personal experience that profoundly transforms the way we reflect the world and ourselves.
How to record the incommunicable?
Record of the experienced.
How to transfer this record back into an image?
A house as an enclosed meadow on which events take place.
That, which can never be verified, will forever be that, which remains.
To enter and to see.
Real history, never written event, a dead angle, a blind spot.
Discursus of a net.
