Me, who writes this book

Me, who writes this book is a processual project arranged by Jan Nálevka for INI Gallery_PROSTOR. The artist, who is particularly interested in the gesture of drawing, will fill the emptiness of white walls with A4 sheets of paper. However, the room occupied by INI Project, has a rather corporate character affiliated with office-like booths. Through Nálevka’s intervention, the space will gain another visual layer of abstract and self-referential, black images. Stemming from the meditative tradition of minimalist, abstract art, the artist’s gesture will develop into a performance taken over by printing machines.

Me, who writes this book
The image of pages in a textbook being turned by a machine and standardised scientific restoration processes may arouse concerns but simultaneously hope. The experience of Western modernity, whether optimistic or disastrous, is a significant heritage which we should take good care of. We already know only too well what crimes and violence modern western people were capable of committing or at least took part in. However, we should not forget that modern institutions, such as the state, schools, science or museums, have created the infrastructure for our better lives.
