Neverending story; life after art, Tereza Brussmannová and Filip Hauer
The installation by Tereza Brussmannová and Filip Hauer illustrates their common artistic research, in which they deal with the forms of moral and technical means for the future. A confrontation with ethical boundaries of social settings became the basic method of the research. The result is a symbolic map of the future and a design of art.
The encoded patterns of behaviour become the key factor for scanning the borders of persons' intimate politics, its agression and indivuduality. Life after work, taken over by factory robots, becomes unexpectedly more difficult. The users fill their surroundings with the prefabricated furniture, while a space for self-expression is rapidly getting narrower. On the other side, we are endangered by the whole universe.
A subjectivity isn't in this new society revealed via a free choice, but via a scale of the offered formats, colours, fonts and surfaces. The individual is not being defined by a community in which he or she grows up, but by the units, which produce made to measure products.
YourSöchi is a great example of a project, inspired by traditional work with material. At the same time it enables its customer to shape his or her own environment creatively. The installation in the gallery consists of the presentation of the products to potential customers and recordings of the interaction of the artists with the prefabricated objects.
The interest of Tereza Brussmannová lies in object and its social connotations. The problems of the architecture of the pedestal and perception of art in its historical context, narration of children, or relations between traditional societies and contemporary world.
Filip Hauer researches sound and digital media. He lets visitors enter a sish between reality and constructed situation. He tries to bring them into presence and uncompromising closenes, and make them doubt the given terms and ask questions about the meaning of existence. The distinct point is a material ephemerality and destruction of resources.
