Three-Body Situation
26. 9. 2025 - 19. 10. 2025
Digital technologies have become a chief buzzword framing the contemporary perception of the current world. This buzz permeates, transforms, and integrates us into its systems. The duality of the real world and its virtual superstructure seems unsustainable in the long run as the lived reality is defined by the moment of fusion, decay, and peculiar mutation.
The group exhibition Thee-Body Situation explores various manifestations of the transformation co-controlled by technologies. The three exhibiting artists share the same means of expression employed (new technologies) and background of their artistic career – the audiovisual club scene. Jan Hladil, Jan Slanina, and Jan Poš entered the scene of visual art through multimedia events, using primarily artificial light, which in turn mutated into various forms of their individual artistic practice. Hladil will show creations that reflect his fascination with laser beams, and the Chess Sculpture, whose intertwined form grows into space and challenges the conventional morphology. Slanina will exhibit works that cultivate a mutation of figures and time – the latter traditionally conceived as linear yet here merging in a technologically rearranged assemblage. Poš will fill the gallery space with hexagon fragments and fugitive objects created by computer simulation, which is then materialised in the form of complex shapes.
Binarity is inadequate. The disintegration and rearrangement of the classical perception of reality by action of the technological presence determines the situation we as society embrace and the exhibition accentuates.
