CACHE: An International Exhibition Exploring Traditional Art and New Media Dialogues

Explore how traditional art forms inform new media, reflecting contemporary conditions of perception and existence.

The CACHE exhibition is an international Czech-German project delving into the mutual permeability of traditional art forms, including painting and drawing, with new media like projection, video, and audio-visual installations. It explores how diverse artistic approaches share expressive qualities, generating an aura of testimony from common social conditions. This project examines the interplay of static and dynamic forms, where digital means inform about the 'state of affairs' and feed new impulses back into traditional expression. Works by several artists expand human experiential potential through novel visual strategies.

Exhibition summary

CACHE is an international Czech-German exhibition exploring the permeability between traditional art forms like painting and drawing and new media such as video and digital installations. It examines how these different media inform each other and reflect contemporary conditions of perception and existence.

Curatorial context

The international Czech-German project CACHE delves into the mutual permeability of traditional art forms, including painting and drawing, with new media such as projection, video, and audio-visual installations. These diverse artistic approaches share expressive qualities and generate a related aura of testimony, stemming from common social conditions and thought principles. The exhibition features an analogous movement of forms, both static and dynamic, where digital means inform about the 'state of affairs,' while simultaneously feeding new impulses and 'formatting' strategies back into traditional means of expression. Works by Daniel Hanzlík, Eberhard Havekost, Adéla Matasová, Pavel Mrkus, and Frank Nitsche are presented. These artists expand human experiential potential through new visual strategies or emotionally powerful audio-visual and photographic explications. Each selected work either re-establishes an attempt at verifying the physically existing world, testing the limits of human perception, or reflects the disappearance of physical presence in art. CACHE operates as an ongoing, chained state of dialectical counterpoint, prompting continuous reflection on its impact on human consciousness.
