Exhibition “proc ne?” at Benzinka, 22|9|7

This disgraced ruin of a gas station is placed at this marvellous spot surrounded by cornfields. It is situated on the outskirts of the village Slaného, 35km from to the north of Prague and this is where young international contemporary artists show their newest elaborates.

Once again, the theme of the exhibition circles around this prematuresummoner this gas station is standing for: changes of paradigms, lack of supply and the extinction of vital sources, with all its consequences. Each of these young artists pins down one of its facets: Jan Rous presents us a swarm of thirsty car gas tanks looking for to their petrol hole, which was filled ages ago with concrete. Like animals, the gas tanks liberated themselves to fulfil their existential needs.

Ales Cermak visualizes in his work the process of running short of a vital source of energy. A generator produces energy to amplify acoustically signals from his interior while running slowly out of gas.

Martin Boyer shows a lonely grown trailer with a tidy but withered flower garden on its bed. As someone once felt like take his or her garden on the way through a world where mobility and flexibility was written in big letters, but here the mobility as the gardener are lost

Židle

Záměrně pracuji s již hotovýn materiálem, který má jasně danou funkci.
V objektech objevuji jejich možnou funkci, je to jakési vizuální (na pohled funkční) vodítko
s mírnou nadsázkou ironie.

zdisfunkčnění objektu = jeho zmultifunkčnění
