Jilská 14, Praha
06.03.2024 - 27.04.2024
curator Petr Vaňous
Miloš Šejn's project exploits the specific layout of the ground floor and underground spaces of the Jilská 14 gallery. The exceptional spatial situation of the gallery, which has its entrance and exit in different locations, and involves descending into and ascending from the underground, allows the installation to be perceived as a two-way raute. The entrance and exit can be interchanged, similar to the polarities of birth and death in Taoism, for example. The gallery raute also gives the impression of a cyclical closure, into which the viewer enters with their linear duration of time. These are the basic inspirational starting points from which the author's self-reflection on linear and cyclical time as memory is born, with an emphasis on the parallelism and contrast of human and digital traces, on the weight of physical presence and the possibility of virtual emancipation. Here, digital tools act as supporting apparatuses, refining the language of reflection in its radical structural transformations du ring the author's complex communication with the place and its environment.
– The MEMORY DEPOSIT exhibition is conceptually designed as an intuitive authorial mini-retrospective. It mixes references to civilization (antiquity) and persona! memory (references to the artist's mother and father). The centra I theme the exhibition addresses is the relations to time and memory expressed by human presence in the world, both in the present and in the past. The traces of human activity are linked to this presence. The traces vary in nature: personaI, intimate, private but also representative, professional, creative, artistic... Accordingly, these traces are differently integrated into memory as conscious shaping or occasional touches and their materialization. A characteristic symbol of the exhibition is the motif of a torso (a cast of the Belvedere Torso). The torso as a fragment of what has been preserved, what remains from a now unknown whole that was once created as a holistic project. Similarly - as a holistic project - can also be perceived the linearity of human existence. After its fulfillment (closure by death), the traces begin to fade. The outlines of memory quickly disappear. Imprints and traces remain. They have a longer inertia.
– It is precisely the human traces what the conceptual artist and painter Miloš Šejn deals with in his work. Touches, traces, and imprints, objects, artifacts and data, an archive of indistinguishable evidence of long-lost connections, which, precisely because they were removed from the time of oblivion by the author, can and do create new contexts. The very medium that is made present here is precisely the plane of time and its connections, na mely memory. The exhibition is an author-structured repository. lt creates a laboratory environment in which involuntary memory is initiated. Various sources of data-fixed situations, images, sounds are supplemented by factual evidence - objects. A structural field of meaning is created, affecting the viewer subliminally. Many situations merge here with pre-images of generally shared experience, but there are also more hidden and refined bays where references to archetypes and ways of non-conceptual complex perception of reality appear.
– In Miloš Sejn's work, concepts are replaced by a performative presence "in situation". The records of a cti on then provoke the mind in its operational preset. Instead of immortalizing the experience, it is transformed into a holistic experience, which is subsequently communicated to the viewer in an audio-visual form. Through projections, static objects also "come to life". Movement is a metaphor for "presence of consciousness" or "examining" the situation, in which the coexistence of static and dynamic forms is always emphasized. Nothing rests in peace. Stillness is a mere illusion of factual states. We live at the intersection of processes, into which we ourselves enter as an active organism, thus dynamically as well. MEMORY DEPOSIT by Miloš Šejn is an interactive scene in which, li ke fireflies, particles of knowledge circulate across space and time.
