Exhibition summary
This Czech-German project explores the convergence of traditional art forms like painting and drawing with new media such as projections, video, and audiovisual installations. It examines how these diverse mediums generate similar expressive potential and influence human perception and the concept of presence in art.
Curatorial context
The international Czech-German project 'MEZIPAMĚŤ' (Intermemory) is built upon the mutual permeability of traditional art forms, such as painting and drawing, and new media, including projections, video, and audiovisual installations. These mediums are brought together as they share certain social conditions and thought principles, generating a similar aura of communication. The exhibition showcases how static and dynamic forms can relate: some works model the 'state of things' through digital tools, while others imbue traditional mediums like painting with new impulses and distinct formatting methods. The human experiential potential is expanded through new visual strategies and emotionally strong audiovisual and photographic explanations.
Each exhibited work either re-establishes an attempt to verify the physically existing world, thereby testing the boundaries of human perception, or reflects the disappearance of physical presence in art. 'MEZIPAMĚŤ' aims to stabilize consciousness by smoothing over shocks and erasing traces of what caused them, representing a continuous, chaining state of dialectical counterpoint from which human beings cannot escape and must therefore constantly reflect upon.
Admission and ticket notes
Admission to the exhibition is voluntary. Visitors are encouraged to return if they do not have enough time to see the entire exhibition within a single visit. The last entry is permitted 30 minutes before closing time. Specific opening hours are listed as 'CLOSED' for Monday, Tuesday-Sunday, and Thursday, which may indicate a temporary closure or specific event-based access rather than standard operating hours for this archived exhibition. Visitors are advised to check current gallery hours for any ongoing or future exhibitions via the provided contact information or map link if needed for future reference. However, for this specific past exhibition, detailed ticketing is not applicable beyond the voluntary admission mention which seems to apply to the general gallery visit policy at the time of the exhibition. The provided information about 'CLOSED' hours is confusing and likely relates to the current state of the website rather than the exhibition period. Given the context of an archived exhibition, precise current ticketing details are not the primary focus, but the mention of voluntary admission during its run is noted.
