Opening performance:
- Viktória Revická: Fermentation Motion, 2023
Viktória Revická will adapt her previous video performance Fermentation Motion into a live event. It will take place parallel to the opening of the exhibition as a durational performance which transforms the process of fermentation into bodily movements.
The exhibition is inspired by recent interest in spiritual worldviews and the revival of ancient knowledge in contemporary art. In times of crisis such as the current one, it becomes more understandable that artists turn towards those oft-hidden stories and non-scientific approaches which helped people get through difficulties in the past and which are now worth reconsidering. They ask: what can we learn from past belief systems and ways of thinking? How can we revisit folk traditions without repeating far-right nationalist rhetoric? How can we create more resilient communities and within these communities new rituals in order to shape a livable present and future?
