ROADBACK

Klára Jirková (*1983)

She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, New Media I and School of Monumental Art. In her work she reacts to contemporary events and she often examines the limits of art itself. She also critically reflects our society and its trends. To put her projects into practice, she often uses well-established systems or connections she subsequently disrupts and modifies. Thereby she offers us new views on things we are familiar with.
She attended a scholarship at Universität der Künste in Berlin and at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.

ROADBACK
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 section of the motorway D11, which will run across the Trutnov and Žacléř regions will add a part of the East Bohemain frontier district, a forgotten bracket between the Krkonoše National Park and the Protected Landscape Area of the Broumov region, as another bead to an illusory rosary connecting Paris with Moscow. It is no more controversial than the other eight motoways under construction in the Czech Republic. May the presented requiem for our landscape be read ad exemplum.
The aim of RurArtMap is to strengthen the cultural awareness of the countryside and create a space for cultural presentations, a platform for cooperation and activity planning which would make the art and cultural activities in rural environment more accessible.
