Michal Škoda / Interweaving
22.05.2024 - 27.07.2024
Fait Gallery, Ve Vaňkovce 2, Brno
Curator: Silvia L. Čúzyová
Opening: 22nd May, 7 pm
Michal Škoda (1962) works with a reduced abstract form and executes his subjects - interest in space and architecture, the place for man, archiving of existence, and everyday life – by means of various techniques. Škoda's representational exhibition INTERWEAVING is not a retrospective but a focused continuation of his creative interaction with Places with Specific Qualities. The exhibition, alongside the presentation of new works in the current series of objects and drawings, offers a unique opportunity to look into the "laboratory" of individual artistic thinking.
Tomáš Bárta / A spectre in the house

Fait Gallery MEM, Ve Vaňkovce 2, Brno
Curator: Jiří Ptáček
Opening: 22nd May, 7 pm
The events that are present in Tomáš Bárta's paintings take place between two spaces and the partition between them. These pictures inevitably set a "backward course" through the history of European painting, all the way back to Leon Battista Alberti’s reflections on the construction of pictorial space which he incorporated into his seminal work De pictura (1435). However, instead of a well-organised renaissance arrangement, Bárta offers us more ambiguous spatial relations and a spectral illusion of the objects inhabiting his paintings, as if architecture produced its own ghosts.
