Curatorial context

The "Kunsthalle Praha Invites" series begins with an exhibition of recent works by Markéta Magidová, titled "My Sweet Inedible Planet." Magidová's visual world spans computer-generated films, digital paintings, and tangible objects, focusing on children's aesthetics and the understanding of otherness in society. The exhibition invites visitors on a colorful odyssey through time, space, and beyond. Curated by Andra Silapētere, the exhibition is characterized by playfulness, humor, and dream-like aesthetics, which Magidová uses as tools to examine social hierarchies related to class, status, gender, and family. It encourages a redefinition of our everyday environment and the imagining of new social structures, driven by feminist utopias. The new works, including short films, sculptures, and digital paintings, aim to defamiliarize the world, creating encounters with perspectives often refused. Magidová also delves into distant past narratives, rethinks gender stereotypes through idiosyncratic interpretations of classic stories, and brings children's scribbles to life within real space and time.
