18 St.
TEREZA TOMANOVÁ
“KU KU”
26.06 - 17.07.2022 / opening night 26.06 - 18:00
As part of the ARV.I artist residency program, Tereza Tomanová concludes her artist-in-residence with the solo exhibition, titled KU KU, at Gallery Heerz Tooya.
Tereza Tomanová presents a series of new artworks based on everyday glimpses during her stay in the village Vishovgrad. With her artistic practice, Tomanová usually provides the exhibition spectators with multilayered situations open for interpretation, mainly unfolded in art installations and performative initiatives. Continuing her exploration of vegetable metaphors and ordinary objecthood about human relations to environmentalism and existential inquiries, KU KU is a delicate locus between microcosmic and spherical dialectics.
Surrounded by a play of the color red and contradictions, shadows, and transparency, as spectators, we enter a space as conserved beings witnessing preserved glimpses of everyday life. Having a closer look, you might see small worlds preconditioned as fermented environments. Zoom out again, and you'll be perpetuated by the various self-reflective layers of glass around you.
Tomanová suggests a reversed situation of we humans standing outside looking in. Fermentation is partly a procedure of decay and metamorphosis. We are enzymes conditioned to burp, then oxidized to fungus.
