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.

Kateřina Vincourová does not exhibit often, so her exhibitions are naturally more concentrated. After some time, she now returns to the Fait Gallery with a project, in which she develops several parallel interlinking themes, particularly memory, body and the routine of everyday life. On one side there is the idea of travelling in time, in the sense of a collective as well as personal history, whilst on the other side there is the exploration of hidden, sometimes almost ethereal forms of physicality. The connector for both is a cross of sophisticated work with banality, thanks to which the author is able to take the most ordinary of materials and tell the most powerful of stories, these are often randomly found items and fragments of the material world. Kateřina Vincourová entered the Czech art scene in the early 90s of the last century and in 1996 she became the first woman to win the Jindřich Chalupecký Prize. The exhibition "WHENEVER YOU SAY.", in which Vincourová connects her sense for handmade detail and intimacy with the monumental scale of generous space in Vaňkovka in Brno, follows up the author's extensive exhibition in Špála Gallery in Prague (2014) and also anticipates her presentation at the exhibition Bittersüße Transformation (Bittersweet changes), which will be opened at the Kunsthaus in Graz, Austria from the end of May this year.
