Natural materials

Natural Materials presents works of art based on cooperation of two artists – Richard Loskot (1984, CZ) a Michal Šimonfy (1984, SK). 

Both authors thematise nature, explore the substancies and phenomena, which create the natural reality of our life and at the same time, they suggest relevant questions about the current ethical relationship of human with the living organism of nature.

The exhibition is not only a departure from the established boundaries of the field, but also a demonstration of the possibilities that ceramics offer within contemporary art. The fact that it is ceramic clay, in various forms and shapes, that fills the gallery spaces is not a surprising result of a symposium focused on this material. However, ceramics is not the only means of expression that the exhibiting artists work with in their creations, which is also reflected in their latest works created during their four-week stay in Bechyně.
The Heron is a film about the Stromovka park, however, it is perhaps more about us, people, and the different activities we may pursue in city parks. It shows inexplicitly to what extent people are influenced by parks and parks by people. What role do parks play in our contemporary society, in our everyday lives?
