GRENZNAH
26.03.2015 - 24.04.2015 | Školská 28, Communication space, Prague, CZ
Curated by Milos Šein, Tomáš Černý, Pavel Storch
The exhibit “On the Border – Grenznah”, in its own way, is a retrospective of the works of a group of Czech, German, Austrian, French and Japanese artists, related to a quite specific place in the landscape. Its topos is the historic place known as Tummelplaz in the middle of the Šumava range and Bavarian forests, full of springs, rocky outcrops, impenetrable thickets and forest detritus. Since the 1970s, the forest was declared a strictly protected zone, and is quickly transforming into a primordial-like forest. Is it really a primeval forest, or does it merely remind us that such a thing once existed? That is the question which each of the participating artists had to deal with. Without regard, of course, to the finding of specific forms of artistic expression, from simple relaxing and being in the landscape, up to every possible nuance of personal expression and all imaginable ways of sharing - touch, recording, transformations of the seen, heard and felt.
