The exhibition Nor a day without a comma examines the phenomenon of drawing and its different positions in the contemporary creation of young Czech and Slovak artists. With drawing, we meet from a little near every corner. It is a global visual language that has stood in the formation of fine arts. Today we understand the drawing as an autonomous art medium serving to artists to capture the first ideas as sketch as well as part of their intermediate work. The current exhibition brings different aspects of the drawing. This is an attractive and progressive medium for young artists that can be constantly developed.
The selection of artists for the exhibition for the Vysočina Regional Gallery in Jihlava was based on the principle of pointing out different positions of the drawing, with an emphasis on artists who are involved in drawing almost every day. From here comes the very name taken from the Latin quote Nulla Dies Sine Linea (Nor a day without a comma). In the exhibition, we can find drawings in the space by installations (Jan Pfeiffer), references to performative gesture in process drawings (Mira Gáberová, Juraj Gábor, Adéla Součková). There are also artists exploring the boundaries of the drawing and drawing media (David Böhm & Jiří Franta, David Demjanovič & Jarmila Mitríková, Kateřina D. Drahošová a Dana Sahánková). At the same time, the exhibition also includes space drawings in the form of an object (Juraj Gábor, Slavomíra Ondrušová), overlasps drawing to painting (Ondřej Basjuk & Šárka Koudelová), to videoart (Mark Ther) a animation (Matěj Smetana).
The exhibition is part of the long-term project Postconceptual overlaps in contemporary Czech and Slovak drawings. Curatorial and theoretical research has been aimed since 2014 on the creation of young artists up to 40 years old from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who in their work tend to post-conceptual art.
