JIŘÍ HILMAR / ANONYMOUS FORM OF SQUARE
25.10.2023 - 13.01.2024
Fait Gallery, Ve Vaňkovce 2, Brno
Curator: Denisa Kujelová
Opening: 25th October, 7 pm
In accordance with the principles of concretism, the activation of the viewer and his or her procesural perception in motion was essential in the major part of Jiří Hilmar's work. It was later replaced by a growing interest in environmental issues in the form of artistic interventions in natural processes. Apart from paper reliefs folded into optical structures, the artist's large retrospective will present monochromes created in parallel made of layered tracing paper and works from the later period made of natural materials, dominated by wood in the last phase.
NÉPHÉLI BARBAS / THE SKY SERENE AS A VAST AQUARIUM
-
Fait Gallery PREVIEW, Ve Vaňkovce 2, Brno
Curator: Eva Slabá
Opening: 25th October, 7 pm
Néphéli Barbas presents an installation of sculptures hosting drawings reminiscent of architectural walks and urban interiors. The artist is interested in the way certain forms communicate through time by fabricating memory: for example, the way modernism can be crossed by baroque, classical or archaic influences. The idea of memory alteration and the way it can change forms is very active in her work. These walks allow a commutativity between past and present, while leaving behind a linear vision of time.
