Walk three times around the mountain and the night will be yours

Marie Hladíková and Anders Grönlien draw inspiration from personal mythology in the centre of which are great issues such as love, beauty, death, good, evil,… Their art speaks about undercurrents of (not only) human mind but also about their opposites – a romantic bedazzlement by the nature and imagination. The exhibition in Chodovská tvrz is the second gallery project they have worked on together. Through their collective installation, the viewers can expect nothing less dramatic than a walk from day to night, light to gloom, paradise to hell and maybe vice versa.

The objects are metal structures of various shapes woven with yarn, which the artists hand-dyed using different types of tea. They use weaving or scrubbing techniques, which, incidentally, most of us know primarily as half-forgotten craft practices. Their focus corresponds to the increased interest of contemporary artists in materials and technologies such as textiles, ceramics, and glass, which have long been neglected. Julia and Barbora, however, approach textiles without any obvious retro nostalgia, which could be tempting.
