about

In ANNA HULAČOVÁ’s world, nature is messy but endlessly admirable in its constant adaptability and creativity, even in the face of its own degradation. Organisms mutate to adapt to an increasingly inhospitable environment; our surroundings transform into a kind of sci-fi hybrid landscape. In her approach to art, Hulačová has always broken-down hierarchies. She uses subjects and materials traditionally associated with fine art in combination with that of applied and folk art across cultures, all in combination with contemporary media and aesthetics. Her choice of material does not favor the hardy over the ephemeral – she often works with concrete or industrial materials, but equally with beeswax and the organic, highlighting her enduring concern for our fragile condition, society, and environment. In her apocalyptic vision of the future, she fully embraces the inevitable idea of the end, while searching for new alterations and possibilities that may give us the hope and tools to survive.

Anna Hulačová (born 1984, Sušice) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, the Studio of Intermedia Work II under Jiří Příhoda. She is an extraordinary sculptor, whose work revives traditional crafts, translating the inspiration found in ancient mythologies, eastern cultures as well as in Czech folk traditions and original Christian symbolism into the language of contemporary art. Her primarily figurative works embody an idiosyncratic aesthetic merging ancient idols, Gothic woodcarving and surface minimalism of graphic design and photography. Hulačová has exhibited her work at many institutions, including CEEAC in Strasbourg, National Gallery Prague, Galeria Arsenał in Białystok, Brno House of Arts, Art Encounters Biennial 2021 in Timisoara, MO.CO. Montpellier, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, Liberec Regional Gallery, East Slovakian Regional Gallery in Košice, 2019 Aichi Triennial in Japan, Casino Luxembourg, Baltic Triennial 13, Prague City Gallery, and Gdansk City Gallery.

About

The versatile artist Dalibor Chatrný (1925-2012), who made his name on the Brno art scene, is one of the most important and productive representatives of post-war abstract art in this country. As well as graphics, on which his work is based and which he returned to again and again throughout his life, Chatrný uses a wide range of other expressive means. He explores in detail the thresholds of the medium he is working with at any given time, and investigates all of its aspects. As well as classical creative resources he was intuitively drawn to manifestations of action and conceptual art at that time and examined the relationship of creative art to the immanent forces of nature and landscape. For a long time he was concerned with the link between the semantic contents of words and their possible visual form. As well as artistic interpretations of photography he is the creator of several audiovisual works.

In the series of abstract woodcuts from the beginning of the 1960s (Cleavage, 1961; Signals, 1962), which resulted not only in graphic images but also printed forms as an autonomous artwork, he rhythmatised visual space using simple geometrical shapes. In parallel with cycles of tempera and acronex paintings, in 1963 he arrived at a radical restriction of the authorial subject in a cycle of paintings by magnet, in which traces of Indian ink were left by drawing coloured iron filings across the surface of the paper. Three years later he eliminated the role of creator completely, when he exhibited a signed sheet of paper without any authorial intervention. Around the middle of the 1960s he became interested in the creative process for its own sake in cycles of partially painted relief graphics (Režrot, 1966), combining gaufrage and collage with found technical materials.

In the second half of the decade work with prints and the rhythm of grids led Chatrný to sets of perforated graphics, which blurred the boundary between a creative geometric artefact and damaging of the torn paper. At this time the register of creative media with which Chatrný worked expanded significantly. As well as three experimental films created in collaboration with the composer Alois Simandl Piňos (Static Music, Genesis, Grids, all 1970), which were intended for simultaneous projection in the form of an audiovisual triptych, an eight-hour exhibition in the Procházka Hall of the Brno House of Arts in November 1970 played a key role in his output. The exhibition was created by visitors to the gallery, who connected prepared metal and plexiglass cylinders using a network of twine. This unique live event transcended the gallery space when the public began linking objects in the interior with a bust in the park outside.

As well as the exhibition in Jihlava, which took place a year after that in Brno, Chatrný created paintings in space using white string in several visual objects (two boards linked by string forming the picture Untitled, 1970) and graphic cycles (String Projects, 1970). From the end of the sixties onwards Chatrný worked on applying magnetic force in subtle and changeable objects (Untitled (Two Situations), 1970; Magnetic Cabinets, 1972). Soon he began creating photographs in which he experimented with magnets and iron filings (Magnets in Teeth, 1973), as documentation of his radical research into the organic behaviour of technical material and its possible symbiosis with various parts of the human body.

Chatrný also took an interest in land art, not only in works actually created in landscapes (e.g. Mirrors in the Landscape, 1974), but also in a host of utopian projects in negative and aerial sculptures, in which he appropriated entire cut-outs of real space (Projects of Aerial Sculptures into the Atmosphere, 1973). At the time the period of normalisation began, he was developing an interest in artistic books and the utilisation of text in visual art. His interest in literature was reflected in oft-cited prose and poetic works. For instance, during the 1960s Chatrný used texts by Paul Celan in Indian ink drawings, and in 1982 he paid homage to Robert Musil when he transcribed The Man without Properties onto the pages of an Atlas of Cultivated Plant Diseases and Pests. As well as using extracts from literature, he amassed a huge quantity of work on paper which examined the meaning of words and the associations they provoke (Instructions to Painters and Decorators, 1972; On Colours, 1972).

Very often Chatrný simply made minimal interventions in the photography of other artists from the 1960s. For instance, he changed the relations between photographed objects and persons by linking them with lines and string (Photographs Interpreted by String, 1978), or in series of photographic collages (Reduced Portraits, 1978). Chatrný remains faithful to the main principles of his aesthetic in later years, and enriches them, for instance using painting with two hands (the twenty-metre work entitled A deux mains – Unrepeatable, 1987). In the 1990s he developed the principles of automatism in the extensive cycle Paintings with Obstacles. Chatrný used his own work of the previous decades as a source of ongoing creative procedures and as an integrated and organic whole in collages composed of fragments of his older works (Collected Work, 2000).

About

Igor Hosnedl (born 1988, Uherské Hradiště) has developed a highly singular style of painting, characterized by carefully aligned color tones, flowing geometries and an atmosphere suggestive of alternative states of consciousness. Working almost exclusively in large format and with custom-made oil pigments, Hosnedl deploys a cautious yet bold technique to his work through a method that has guided him into a deeper space of painting. “Color is a very powerful weapon,” he explains, “and I really appreciate the unusual final look of the painting surface – it’s almost like a ceramic glaze.”

Hosnedl’s pictures combine a strange ornamental tickling in the stomach and childlike naiveté and hope for a happy ending – but there is also no simple resolution in Hosnedl’s pictures. The narrative of his paintings emerges from the works themselves and permeates installations of past and future exhibitions. Stories are interwoven in ornament-like curls. Although Hosnedl does not work with the direct citation of literature, the poetics of linking and blind paths may be a key to deciphering his works.  His paintings often take on the theme of ornament as an abstraction; they are non-linear, sometimes figurative and sometimes purely intuitive; an example of a strange, tidy chaos. The principle of ornament is thus not an addition or a compliment of a whole in the sense of decoration; it is a principle of work that transcends the works themselves and weighs them together – and is uniquely reflected in the formal processing of individual paintings. According to the artist: „I operate with classical and established narratives from painting history, like dropped shadows from objects randomly placed on tables or simply on horizons, because I’m trying to develop something that might be understood as an everyday thing, and a system that you already know from your visual experiences.”

Igor Hosnedl is a 2013 graduate of the Prague Academy of Fine Arts, studying in the drawing studio of Jitka Svobodová and the painting studio of Vladimír Skrepl/Jiří Kovanda.  He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at Kunsthalle Bratislava (solo, 2023); Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (2022); Nicodim Galerie, Bucharest (2022); Eigen&Art, Berlin (2023, 2022 & 2021); hunt kastner, Prague (2021 & 2016); Ribot Gallery (with Vera Knox, curated by Domenico di Chirico), Milan, 2020;  Nod Gallery (solo), Prague, 2019;  FAIT Gallery (solo), Brno, 2019;  VDIFF, (curated by Milan Mikuláštík), DUMB, House of the Lords of Kunštat Brno, 2019;  Downs & Ross (solo), NY, New York, 2018; Horizont Gallery (solo), Budapest, 2018; After Late for Pro: Office work (curated by Tereza Jindrová), Meetfactory, Prague, 2017;  and Galerie Jelení (solo), Foundation and Center for Contemporary Arts in Prague, 2016.  He currently lives and works in Berlin.

About

Viktor Kopasz was born in 1973 in Kráľovský Chlmec (Királyhelmec), an ethnically Hungarian region in the Southeast corner of Slovakia.  In 1988, he started his studies of photography at the School of Applied Arts in Košice and then moved to Prague, where he attended FAMU (Prague Film and Television Academy, Department of Photography) from 1992 – 1997.  Historically connected to the fate of three national communities and cultures, the topic of homeland and mixed identities are themes that can often be found in his work.  Kopasz currently lives and works in Prague, where he also teaches Photography at the School of Graphic Design.

Since Kopasz graduated from the Department of Photography at Prague’s FAMU in 1997, he has pursued a path that presents a seminal dialogue not only with the possibilities of photography, but with visual expression as such – a clear vital need for the artist.  In his series Temporary Objects we can observe a change in the perception of sequences outside of the temporal one. The object, which we perceive here in the context of the image as a prototype, is figurally present in all its copies and replicas. The concepts that form causality are inverted here, and it disrupts how our minds usually work to anchor and bind abstract concepts and their equivalents as objects. It could be viewed in the context of one aspect of human-computer interaction – an oscillation between illusory and interactive sequences, which forces the user to switch between different ways of thinking, between different cognitive activities. And it is this aspect that emphasizes the role of something that we call multitasking. A certain straddling of the media and their forms, or horizontal and vertical switching between different levels of references is typical of Viktor Kopasz. Creating sketches and inspirational models sometimes leads to a complete abandonment of the original idea and with a redirected focus on the newly created material.

His work was shown at Post History, curated by Barnabás Bencsik, OFF Biennale Budapest,), 2015, at Imaginary maggots in collaboration with Marek Meduna, 2016, at Konstruktivní lyrika,  Galéria Medium, Bratislava, Slovakia 2018, at Prolonged Identity, curated by Jiří Ptáček, Fotograf Gallery, Prague, 2018, and at Paperlust Photobook Fest, Krakow, 2019. Most recently he had a solo exhibition loose structures at Galerie Smečky in Prague and his artist book Temporary objects was published by Artmap in December 2023.
