Meet me in the middle

Juka Araikawa is a Japanese artist who has been living and working in Košice since March 2013. 
She has been influenced mainly by the specific local environment living at one of Košice suburbs and working in a former technical colleague. A huge space, an abandoned hall where the lectures of machines operation were held, inspired her to place her work there.

Meet me in the middle
Jiří Thýn approaches the photographic medium, objects, site-specific installations, and video installations intuitively. In his own words, he tries to work with photography as if he were painting. This allows him to express himself authentically and emotionally through gestures. The author also draws digitally with a computer cursor, without striving for consistent perfection. He is now looking for a way to work with photography in a completely immediate way, moving toward the principle of chance in the digital process. The exhibition Silence, Torso, Presence encourages quiet reflection, contemplation of the perception of time not only in photography but also in the history of sculpture, and reflection on "torsos" which, although they evoke heaviness, refer to the basic forms and principles of our existence.
