About the event

OPENING | Gravity of the Useless
Výstava Gravity of the Useless sleduje okamžiky, kdy se pulzující energie produkovaná planetárními stroji odtrhává od svého ohromného těla a v podobě výbojů, odpadu, záření či dat se vrhá střemhlav nejasnými směry, aby zanikla v bezúčelném excesu nebo se znetvořila k nepoznání. Výstava se vydává po „místech dopadu“ rozlehlých technologických infrastruktur a skrze tvorbu Liu Chuanga, Bena Grossera, Csilly Nagy & Rity Süveges, Jana Olta a Makara Tereshina mapuje, jak nezastavitelný růst generující stále „víc“ kráčí vždy bok po boku s nezvratným rozkladem.

K programu se také připojí filozofka a teoretička Maya B. Kronic, která v rámci vernisáže uvede přednášku o technologiích a excesu nazvanou „In Love with Senseless Intensification“ a představí stejnojmenné kurátorované pásmo videí, jež bude v galerii Display k vidění po celou dobu trvání výstavy.

Vytavující: Liu Chuang, Ben Grosser, Csilla Nagy & Rita Süveges, Jan Olt, Makar Tereshin

Kurátor: Jiří Sirůček

///

The exhibition 'Gravity of the Useless' explores the moments when the pulsating energy produced by planetary machines breaks away from their enormous bodies. In the form of discharges, waste, radiation or data, this energy rushes headlong in unclear directions, either disappearing in pointless excess or becoming distorted beyond recognition. Through the work of Liu Chuang, Ben Grosser, Csilla Nagy & Rita Süveges, Jan Olt and Makar Tereshina, the exhibition sets out to explore the ‘fallout zones’ of vast technological infrastructures and map how unstoppable growth, generating ever ‘more’, always goes hand in hand with irreversible decay.

The programme will also feature philosopher and theorist Maya B. Kronic, who will deliver a lecture on technology and excess entitled 'In Love with Senseless Intensification' during the opening. A curated video selection under the same title will be on view at Display Gallery throughout the exhibition.

Artists: Liu Chuang, Ben Grosser, Csilla Nagy & Rita Süveges, Jan Olt, Makar Tereshin

Curator: Jiří Sirůček
