Together / Everyone for Himself

The exhibition by Juraj and Ivan Dudáš is their first collaboration since 2011. Their work oscillates between political and social activism. Mostly they spontaneously react to current events in global or regional context. For this exhibition they have decided to reflect upon tense and tangled political situation in Ukraine. The show consists of the interpretation of events that took place in recent weeks and months. One object, two interactive video installations, text, performance. The artworks are left to come across without a commentary; a viewer becomes both their observer and participant. In case of the installations one can (but doesn’t have to) manipulate the image. The authors’ interpretation lies within the symbolism of exhibited artworks.

Together / Everyone for Himself
Milan Mikuláštík can hardly be defined solely as a curator. He is well- known above all as a distinctive artist, member of the duo MINA (together with Jan Nálevka) and the group Guma Guar, which he co-founded in 2003. His cooperation with this group as well as his own works – often critical and dealing with political structures of the globalized world – later lead to a similarly focused curator´s work.
In the focus of the group’s activity, public and urban spaces are regarded as open exhibition places containing many different media that can be used for artistic self-expression. Their works are best interpreted within the network of urban life, public spaces and omnipresent, governing signs, reflecting on the very issue of big city existence and uncovering “hidden” phenomena.
