Today´s Altars-Parallel Altars

The exhibition represents searching for the intersection between two stories: religious Christian myth and visual art in the period 2000 – 2012. The exhibition consists of two parts, which are loosely interconnected. The first section was made in cooperation with twelve authors of young generation. The presented works of art were made as a result of creative task to make so-called today´s altar. The idea of making altars is inspired by the work of Stanislav Filka (1937), who realized the series of works titled Today´s Altars. The second section is aimed at a survey of works of fine art, which opens a dialogue with Christian religion throught its iconography, symbols, religious metaphors or debate on relationships between the church and politics. The works of art of selected authors are classified into the four independent units: The Saint – The Saints, Jesus in Disneyland, The Other View and The Heritafe of the Past.

Today´s Altars-Parallel Altars
It's obvious that the issue of the environment and ecology in art is increasingly becoming a consciously political decision that affects what art we create, how we teach it, how we talk about it, or how we present it. Artwork is intertwined with cultural activity, which is linked to activism and vice versa. The context, material used and financial resources are increasingly accentuated.
The video of Milena's song works within the theoretical background of contemporary feminist thinking, namely with the legacy of cyberfeminism, which was formulated in the early 1990s by British feminist and cyberculture theorist Sadie Plant. Cyberfeminism grants emancipatory power to modern technology, but only as long as all people can access it, regardless of their class status, religious beliefs, cultural identifications, sexual orientation and/or gender.
