Featured artists: Petr Stanický spolu s vybraným autorem. For this exhibition, Petr Stanický has created an entirely novel site-specific installation which, through the imaginary Window of Zlín and Flowing Through, opens the closed space of the part of the gallery referred to as White cube. This space cannot be penetrated by daylight and reflects the clash of these two utterly different worlds. These changes in optical characteristics simply through the use of light or choice of angle have become the point of departure for this exhibition. In his other installations, just like in all of the author’s work, we find a distinctive sculpting style that communicates with the surrounding space from which it draws inspiration.
As part of his choice to be in dialogue with another from the collection of the Gallery of Modern Art in Hradec Králové, he chose Hugo Demartini and his Relief, 1967–1968.Demartini’s chromed reliefs and objects (1965–1974) are the publicly most well-known of his works. He limited a sculpture to a relief of highly reduced and abstract shapes – orbs and half-orbs organized into interrelated structures. He creates everything from prefabricated objects on the basis of a procedure which he likens to organized labor.
