/ Modelová situace 2010 plexiglass, PVC cca 60x80x50 cm each This work is in line with my older projects, mainly po formal stranke. It uses the principles of the model and the miniature to present the more or less utopian gallery projects by 4 authors. In choosing the artists, I strove for diversity of their positions towards galleries/institutions, with regard also to the general direction of their work so far. The common point of departure is the submission, the same for all exhibiting artists: an ideal or unfeasible exhibition. I did not focus on the quality of the projects put before me but on the design of buildings what would be the best to house and support the desired project. From a certain point of view, this is a fulfillment of a visual artist's illusions; from another, it is an endeavor to explore the relationship between the curator and the artist, criticism and art, authorship and co-authorship. The emergent project does have the ambition to speak to the viewer on a visual level, as I intentionally use means of expression which are, for many reasons, attractive in and of themselves. On the other hand, my focus in not estheticizing and I am not trying to enforce my own creative thought but rather to fulfill the needs of the exhibiting artists, who act in the role of “investors”, which, secondarily, points to ambiguities in today's architecture.
