KAREL KUNC: GROUNDLESS OBJECT

Almost throughout the year Karel Kunc collected various feathery fluffs, seeds, feathers etc. during walks in nature. He spilled the resulting accumulated material in the gallery Ve sklepě. In this way a void object was made under the influence of Malevič’s texts from 20’s.

KAREL KUNC: GROUNDLESS OBJECT
The exhibition is not a historical cross-section of Ester Krumbachová's work (although it does reflect it), but rather an extensive network of original material, numerous texts, images, and artifacts that Krumbachová dealt with and surrounded herself with throughout her life. It primarily presents Ester Krumbachová's archive/estate in thematically interconnected blocks, revealing her thinking about costume design, particularly the role of detail and the use of color, the interconnection of meaning, artistic form, and the overall atmosphere of a film, her work with text that copies spoken language and folk storytelling rather than high literary style, her relationship to magic, realism, subjectivity, male and female polarity, and the hierarchy of species and social and professional positions.
