‘‘This exhibition brings together international artists. Through the medium of photography, their works reveal contexts that lie beneath the surface of aesthetic experience, developing new meanings that change the principles and position of the discipline in contemporary art.’
(...)
The Skɪz(ə)m exhibition is organised to let images activate and subvert those culturally consolidated meanings of art. We purposely work with photography “only”. As a discipline, photography was deemed “contemporary art” as late as the 1980s. While in the last decade many artists have tried to surpass or complicate the practices of photography, we multiply the medium’s possibilities to perceive its added values and overlaps.’’
— curators: Daniela and Linda Dostálková |
