Freim Bai Freim II

The exhibition Freim bai freim II is a reaction to the absence of curatorial projects reflecting the media of animation in contemporary work of visual art or to the absence of theoretical reviews dealing with this issue. The aim of the exhibition is to show its potential to react to the current questions of contemporary art. Furthermore it broadens the festival Fest Anča with the animation projected in gallery or other public spaces.

Some works are the reaction to the particular problems of the region of Žilina with the global overlap, such as decline of textile factory Slovena, contemporary phenomenon of automobile manufacturing plant KIA or the production of polystyrene threatening the environment. The authors followed the research based on the history of local particularities such as popular gliding centre in Stránik or almost vanished Jewish community, its architecture, sport, cultural and religious rites.

Freim Bai Freim II
The structure of the Tamagotchi video is based on the alternation of simple animations and texts. The animations remind us of early video games or simple computer games. For the texts he used the Chicago typeface which was designed for Apple Computer and was used between 1984 and 1997 in the operating system user interface. Unlike the main stream of Czech video making in the mid- 1990s, mostly based on performative elements or artistic unusualness, Mašín´s approach is radically different not only in terms of aesthetics but also conception.
