ATTEMPT OF

The exhibition project Attempt Of by Miroslav Nicz (b. 1963) continues on from his previous video performances. This is especially the case of Autofikcia – Nulový Variant (TG Poprad, 2001), in which he also makes use of the written word. 

The current project is once again a meeting between street events (performed live along with the projection) and textual art, and articulates the long standing interests of the artist: interaction between the visual and the viewer, and the acceptable boundaries that separate art from everyday life.

Attempt Of emphasises the justification of art’s existence, as well as the overall meaning of Nicz’s artistic output, where the artist and his digital ‘alter-ego’ perform their mutually co-operative relationship.

ATTEMPT OF
For over a century, the factory in Střekov has influenced the structure of the city and the quality of life of its inhabitants. During the period of industrial development, Johann Schicht and his descendants built civic amenities in the city – a health center, spas, nurseries, a library, and residential buildings for their workers. After the company was nationalized, production continued and continued to employ a large number of newly settled residents. The national company Setuza also brought its employees together and enabled them to participate in "extracurricular activities," primarily in events organized by the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement, which included the organization of International Women's Day celebrations, St. Nicholas Day gifts, and children's camps.
