gvun
The performance(s?) executed at Gallery of Fine Art in Náchod on 27th of September 2024, comments on the politics and trends of the current Central European art scene(ry) with a strong stylistic reference to Samuel Beckett. The performance is written in the form of a seemingly existential play, reflecting on certain personal, yet universal experiences. The performance happens unannouncedly in the indoor spaces of GVUN during the day, therefore the sometimes seemingly thin line between a performance and the real seems blurred. The performer walks around the exhibition space seemingly lost, seemingly repeating some kind of a hand written script. However, repetition seems to be equal to (in)difference, at least (t)here. The play develops as the script is continuously revised: it as well reflects on the actions happening inside the white walls that are present. Parts of the script are left in the space while the artist works on an endless play. Can an artist be a person, or just a mere persona? Do his muddy working clothes (de)value the aura of art as they are not framed or merely even documented? Perhaps more importantly – is the perceiver also walking on such a tightrope – in line ~ on the same boat? Is there a boat? The answer is a mere yes – contemporaneity seems to not offer space for original (selves). It seemingly n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ did, so – who is the real performer now? The selfish viewer – the one that is supposed to see, then? But since when, really?
