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.

Walk three times around the mountain and the night will be yours
Artistic practice of Jindřiška Jabůrková is interdisciplinary, includes installation, creation of objects, sometimes photography and video or performance. Her fascination is with the processes of transformation of matter, whether of human or natural origin. She is interested in the relationship between the human subject and nature, the relationship of man to the material world, sometimes deepened by the spiritual thoughts.
When we deal with the legacy of mythology, we are primarily interested in what that "legacy" is. Are they themes? Specific characters? Certain models? Ideals? Through its narratives, mythology presents us not only with a multitude of archetypes and stereotypes, but also with many ideals and moral and emotional models that have been accepted to a certain extent as canons, dogmas, and model cases over the centuries. Carl Gustav Jung already noticed this in his interpretation in the field of analytical psychology (archetypes).
