The bouquet of Vazec
Artists Michaela Casková, Sarah Jost and Miroslava Juríková are involved in the exhibition entitled “The bouquet of Važec”. Located in the Jan Hala house gallery in the village of Važec, northern Slovakia, it also is dedicated to this Czech artist who moved to Važec on 1st August 1923, i.e. 100 years ago to spend the rest of his life there. Explaining the concept behind the current display is its curator Zuzana Janečková: “It seems like the main theme of all the artists is plants, wool, natural colors or other local materials, but the truth is that the main theme is time, sensibility, connections and the re-use of things, each of which has its own long story to tell. The point of the exhibition is to draw attention to the connections and relations between its parts and also to time spent with them. We can now see this "bouquet" full of not only plants but also stories which convey many not so obvious connections between flowers, wool and clay. To experience having local sheep cheese for breakfast, that the sheep eat the fresh grass in the fields, and the grass drinks the water and minerals from the earth and so forth. Yes, plants are central to the show, but they are not always visible at first sight.” The exhibition will be on display until 30 September.
