THE HORSESHOE ABOVE THE DOOR, OR, HOW ARE WE EMBEDDED IN IDEOLOGY
Markéta Mansfieldová
Confrontations in public space are becoming more virulent. Protests gain traction, social tension is on the rise. Tension as a reaction to threat, an emotional roller coaster of strong convictions. The truth of convictions is shored up by shared emotional experience. Anger, loss of hope, feelings of remorse, anxiety; the emotional ties of mutuality.

In the poetics of identities, it is important to return to a certain point of zero, which is also a breaking point. My self is breaking through certain limitations and constantly fighting against itself. It is always in the process of becoming, and this process is always accompanied by a certain disjointedness. I am nobody and at the same time I am everybody. I belong to the anywheres, to those who are at home everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I don’t know if that is a reason to be sad.

Václav Magid is an artist, theoretician, curator and, last but not least, a bass player, whose activities often intertwine aspects from these close areas. As an artist on strong theoretical foundations, his curatorial projects are often conceived as an extensive artistic or theoretical project, and in his artistic work, visuality meets music.
