but ♥ thank you
i don't know! i saw it quite a few years ago at a london gallery, as part of a dean solo show, which is why i'm not 100% sure of the title, you can see a brief fragment of it in the very short clip below, this version looks like a two-screen installation, and what i saw wasn't presented the same way, but i remember the film on the right, which goes on for quite a long time (the image quality is atrocious in the clip though and gorgeous in real life)

The building also contains the Galerie Rudolfinum, an art gallery that focuses mainly on contemporary art. It opened on 1 January 1994 and is... located at the back of the Rudolfinum. Galerie Rudolfinum has no collection of its own, and runs on the Kunsthalle principle, hosting a series of temporary exhibitions. It has around 1,500 square metres of exhibition space. The gallery director is Petr Nedoma.

In his latest London exhibition, Czech sculptor and conceptual artists Jan Turner explores the early interpersonal experience, during which we form a whole series of habits that influence our future life, including the places, relationships and situations we find ourselves in. Inevitably connected to our parents voices whether real or imagined, these experiences are part of our mind and bodies. Drawing from his practice as both artist and physical therapist, Turner confronts us with photographs of deformed backs presented as disturbing mementos of our inter-subjectivity.

Jan Jedlička was born in 1944 in Prague. In 1969 he emigrated to Switzerland. Since then he has lived in Zurich, and since the 1990s in Prague too. In the late 1970s he began regularly staying and working in the Maremma in southern Tuscany. In 1993 and 1997 he was awarded grants to travel and work in Britain.
---------------------------
Jedlička uses a wide range of artistic media to produce longterm projects in which he seeks to explore several selected localities, in particular the Maremma region of Italy and the Prague Basin. Instead of depicting the Mediterranean or Central Bohemian landscape, however, his paintings and drawings consist of abstract signs and structures. They are not typical visual representations, but a kind of mental image of the landscape. Defining elements of Jedlička’s artistic creations include a reverential relationship to the landscape and the presence of time and light when moving through the countryside. Nevertheless, each image as a whole is characterized by a multilayered approach that is reflected in his systematic work with a wide range of media. The exhibition will be clearly structured according to the types of processes that Jedlička works with, and will present his extensive photographic cycles, paintings made using locally gathered pigments, drawings and cartographic records, prints and collotypes, and short films and videos.
This, the first comprehensive exhibition of the work of Jan Jedlička, a quintessentially European artist, maps all the facets of the extensive oeuvre that he has created since the 1970s in his Swiss, Italian and Prague homes. Jan Jedlička records landscapes, their visual aspects, but also what he experiences when moving through a landscape, and how the landscape changes. His observations reflect the seemingly indiscernible changes that shape a landscape from the perspective of different times of day, the changing seasons, the decades of the artist’s physical presence, the centuries of human civilisation and the millennia over which land masses have formed.
Jan Jedlička’s oeuvre seems at first sight very diverse, but closer examination reveals it to be surprisingly coherent. His combining of different techniques and media creates multi-layered images of places in a landscape, which he usually observes over a longer period of time. Here a photograph is supplemented with a film, or printed as a photogravure or screen print, or transposed into a mezzotint or drawing, or into a painting executed in Jedlička’s handmade pigments. Thanks to this diversity, viewers can uncover the individual layers, scenes and emotions as if they were falling into a dream about reality that lets them see beneath the surface of an image and transport themselves into the landscape itself.
The current exhibition at Prague City Gallery in the Municipal Library is the first to present the full breadth of Jan Jedlička’s art. It is not structured chronologically but instead maps how he moves through a landscape along the paths of his various creative strategies. Each work is always connected to a particular place and time, and for this reason the selection is arranged according to the three most significant geographical regions he has worked in.
anyway, there were too many objects to share them all.

What the divine planets are whispering to.

Science vs. antiquity
The largest work is a large-screen three-channel video projection by Pavel Mrkus called Observatory 01. When the viewer enters the darkened room, he feels as if he is in a planetarium. The perfectly focused planets Mars, Mercury and Venus can be seen on three synchronized screens.
Based on freely available images from NASA, Mrkus modeled an impressive animation of the planets, their changes depending on the impact of sunlight, and a detailed view of their surface. The animation underlined by the sound is accompanied by texts from which the viewer learns scientific and mythological information. The author has chosen three planets that represent the gods in the ancient tradition.
The longer a person looks at the projection, the clearer it is that, in addition to scientific data, bizarre communication takes place between planets. “I’m returning to the opposition of perihelion,” says Mars, and Venus responds, “I’m cooling off in the breeze of a solar storm.”
The large projection is complemented by a blurry video on the opposite wall, which reproduces scenes from the history of art depicting ancient gods. The visitor thus finds himself between two worlds: the future of space research and the past, which he named the same cosmic events and planets on the basis of myths.

The “metabolic perspective” begins with the idea that the human economy is merely a continuation of the natural economy by other means, to the extent that terms such as ’logistics’ or ’infrastructure’ can be applied equally well to industrial parks and ecosystems, to the production and transportation of goods, as well as to photosynthesis and food chains. But what if we were to begin considering human culture and communication as part of the planet’s natural metabolisms? Would we not find around us animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, inanimate objects and entire communities of organisms that are constantly speaking to us, showing us something, warning us?

The painter did not bear the criticism from the owner of the apartment, he sprayed it all in black
It has not paid off for the owner of an apartment in (the North Bohemian city of) Sokolov to criticize the painter.
After telling the craftsman that he was not satisfied with his work, a subsequent surprise awaited him. He then found his apartment all sprayed in black.
November 23, 2021 12:35 PM (mildly edited auto-translation)
The 43-year-old man needed to paint a renovated apartment during September and October, so he found contact on the Internet for the 73-year-old painter.
He agreed with him on the price and paid him a deposit.
"The owner of the apartment paid the suspect a deposit and the rest of the money was to be given to him only after the work had been completed. Then, however, he was apparently not satisfied with the execution of the work and wanted the paint to be repaired, "said regional police spokeswoman Zuzana Týřová.
However, the craftsman was so upset by the criticism of his work that he could not control himself and took on the customer, who did not want to pay the rest of the money before the repair, revenge. He spray-painted black the entire two-room apartment.
“He sprayed the walls, floors, ceilings, windows, but also the kitchen. He also wrote a derogatory message on the wall, "Týřová said.
The police estimate the damage at 40,000 crowns. The painter now faces up to one year in prison for damaging foreign property.

Frida Kahlo had a very special relationship with photography. Both her father and grandfather were professional photographers, and she herself brought different uses to photography. Among other things, she collected daguerreotypes and postcards from the 19th century, and she kept photographs upon which she put her personal stamp, cutting things out from them, writing dedications on them, and personalizing them as if they were paintings.
allegedly, the "family album" Frida preserved consists of ca. 6000 photos (first time made public in 2007).The exhibition Frida Kahlo – Her Photos presents a number of images that have been preserved in her estate and have been completely unknown until recently. They are now organized and divided into six thematic sections. The exhibition does not intend to depict Kahlo’s chronological biography, but rather to exhibit parts of the personal history of this artist, of the country and time period in which she lived. It is a photographic collage...
