Day, When the Snow was Falling on the Burning Field

Jiří Černický has chosen for his exhibition at SPZ Gallery three works from his numerous new ideas and sketches. The key work is a light installation of a reflective curtain imbued with meaning, references and obviously time spent on its creation. At first sight the drapery may look heavy and give the impression of definite form, but closer examination reveals that in this work the artist is balancing on multiple tightropes: e.g. between a painting and a sculpture, between the modern and the post-modern, between a view of the exterior and the interior.

Alex constructs and, in turn, deconstructs a fluid identity that defines itself through ephemeral contributions, the power and anxiety inherent in the possibility of breaking down the boundaries between subject and object. Bold yet light-hearted, we trust the work unreservedly for its emotion and the vulnerability of the artist’s personal input.
Václav Magid is an artist, theoretician, curator and, last but not least, a bass player, whose activities often intertwine aspects from these close areas. As an artist on strong theoretical foundations, his curatorial projects are often conceived as an extensive artistic or theoretical project, and in his artistic work, visuality meets music.
