May the Horse Live in Me

Short description of the event performance “May the Horse Live in Me” is an explicit exploration of corporeality through biotechnology, in which the human body is hibridising with the horse body by injection of horse serum from the horse blood. But this is not fatal intervention, as in the case of the mythological hero of Midas, who commits suicide to drink bull blood, in this case the idea is to explore the therapeutic effects for which horse blood was preparated so that it conforms to a human and has therapeutic effects. For this purpose, Marion Laval-Jeantet examine and test the different tissues of equine immunoglobulins. Equine immunoglobulins identify target tissues and give rise to specific functional reaction. This rite of blood brotherhood, raises questions about the limits of the species and the presumed dominance of people over animals. Are animals the future of the humans?

May the Horse Live in Me
Matt Mullican’s performative lecture takes the form of a monologue that goes through various levels of consciousness and links subjective testimony with attempts to disturb systems of knowledge and create his own cosmology.
The Grey Brick 34/1993 exhibition, included works by 34 artists born between 1941 and 1964 chosen by the jury whose members were Jana Geržová, Mahulena Nešlehová and Petr Nedoma. This successful summer exhibition took place in the gallery U Bílého jednorožce (At the White Unicorn) in the square in Klatovy and also in the Chateau Klenová and its park.
