THICKENING FORM WITH SOFT MARGINS

Curator Jan Zálešák has chosen to re-install the Markovi brother’s collection of art three times during the Thickening Form with Soft Margins exhibition, by doing so he hopes to speak about the multi-layered approach of the brothers to collecting art.

THICKENING FORM WITH SOFT MARGINS
For a long time, I didn't know what to write about this exhibition. It has no theme, the exhibiting artists have nothing in common, and their selection is purely subjective—I selfishly decided based solely on which paintings I personally found remarkable. It was only yesterday in my studio that one of the artists told me about a curator who reproached her for not providing any key to her paintings.
In February 2019, documenta 15 issued a press release announcing the names of the artistic directors for the next edition of the world’s largest exhibition of art. The announcement included two historical firsts: The exhibition will not be organized by an individual as in the past, but by a collective (and, what is more, an artists’ collective), and this will be the first time since the exhibition’s founding in 1955 that it will be curated by representatives of the Asian continent.
