“Petr Dub announces that painting will be shown at this exhibition. The key element is thus the fact that everything is somehow painted. What I want to say is that “paintings”, as presented by Petr Dub, function similarly to Marcel Broodthaers’s eagles. They even function similarly to any ordinary objects used in an installation. Obviously, they lack any autonomous aesthetic value, which they gain only when becoming a part of a meaningfully (and aesthetically) coherent installation. I used similar words two weeks ago when I was giving an opening speech at the exhibition of Pavel Sterec, who works with bells and halogen lights in the Gallery of Youth. Are the artefacts that we can see here on the same “ontological” level as the above-mentioned bells and halogen lights? Aren’t they independent works of art that deserve our individualised attention?” Read more by Jan Zálešák…
