The first EXHIBITION mosaic is dedicated to life in late capitalism, particularly to the relationship between bodies, labor, lifestyle, and the formation of self-image and identity which are heavily influenced by commercialized social networks consolidated and monopolized under large capitalist Meta-type platforms, as well as by the onset of the 4.0 smart web and generally accessible online artificial intelligence tools. In this hybrid world, it is no longer possible to separate the mutual merging and overlap of digital and physical environments. In a world full of an endless flow of fragmented content, contemporary art often stands in the middle of an aesthetic flirtation between the digital and the material, and shows the ambivalence and complexity of the relationship between humans and digital technology. Exhibiting artists are Filip Streďanský and Michaela Kacsiová.
The first VIDEO SECTION explores the dynamics of power, identity, and collective memory through irony, personal stories, and civil discontent. It thematizes how truth and fiction intertwine in the contemporary world, challenging our ability to distinguish between reality and deception.
The students and management of the studio are represented in various forms in the STUDY ROOM, either through a mind map deriving from the term Studio aKapela, the unofficial name of the studio, object interventions related to the concepts of safe-space, study or the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, up to the imaginary transfer of studio activities as an accompanying program (discussions, presentations, consultations, etc.) to individual exhibitions.
