SET UP TO SET UP

Today, on an imaginary map, you cover half empty territories having one common border line , reaching from impractical and peculiar expedience through references to relations of the object to its surroundings and ending with casual, and thus pleasing to the eye, handicraft of your production. That is why I find it interesting how you approach the audience with almost absolute difference and while Patrik isolates his things – people are “only allowed to watch”, Václav leaves his work “to the mercy” of the audience. Variety in the use of motifs bound to personal patterns of memory makes your exhibition an inconspicuous overview of all that is possible within the framework of present sculpture.

Together you will find your way to people who are called conflicting and uncommunicative. Today is convenient, apart from visiting exhibitions, also for a visit to a spa.

SET UP TO SET UP
The exhibition is not a historical cross-section of Ester Krumbachová's work (although it does reflect it), but rather an extensive network of original material, numerous texts, images, and artifacts that Krumbachová dealt with and surrounded herself with throughout her life. It primarily presents Ester Krumbachová's archive/estate in thematically interconnected blocks, revealing her thinking about costume design, particularly the role of detail and the use of color, the interconnection of meaning, artistic form, and the overall atmosphere of a film, her work with text that copies spoken language and folk storytelling rather than high literary style, her relationship to magic, realism, subjectivity, male and female polarity, and the hierarchy of species and social and professional positions.
