MASTERCLASS

TELEGRAPH GALLERY, OLOMOUC, CZECH REPUBLIC

18.05.2023

CURATED BY SYLVA POLAKOVA 

In his presentation, the artist takes a closer look at his action art pieces from the 70s, their origin and their roots and, first and foremost, he  investigate how they relate to his current work. He claims that somewhere, in between the disciplines of art, meta-mathematics, cognitive psychology, informatics, philosophy and quantum physics—there is an entrance to the otherworld, where everything is connected to everything. A world, or better universe where we can gain serious insights through minute incisions into the texture of existence.

THE RISE AND FALL OF A QUANTUM BRAT

NEVAN CONTEMPO GALLERY, PRAGUE

26.04. - 30.06.2022

CURATED BY PAVEL ŠVEC 

All my life, I hear that science has triumphed. Since I was 10 years old, I was told that humanity is very close to a full understanding of the laws of nature. Yet, 120 years elapsed since the discovery of quantum mechanics, 70 years since we heard about quantum biology and 30 years since we got introduced to quantum consciousness. Let’s admit, the full understanding of existence is and, forever will be an evasive horizon. 

 

As a child, I fell in love with marionette theaters and my biggest wish was to see what the marionettes are doing when not on stage. Conversely, I wanted to know what is the world up to, when I am not physically present – when I’m not THERE. I also realized that the real world is not any different from the marionette one, filled with obstinately interlocked and dovetailed backdrops and curtains: contexts in ranks – one after another, ad infinitum. And, I wanted to see beyond these contexts. I wanted to peek into areas I am routinely not able to grasp, areas that are unattainable by most. How does the triangular space underneath a carpet corner feel, when I’m away? A little later, it dawned on me… I’m a puppet myself. I have no control over my doing, over my own thoughts, over the flow of existence. Hence my burning desire to influence the flow of things and time, to flip “fractal switches”. And, first and foremost, to find any. On an occasion, I may still intrude into the MATRIX ever so imperceptibly and drag some of those ephemeral switches, at least those on the edge of the edge, for a short moment, out of darkness.
