As part of the program Encounters in the centre<\/em>, our guest in March is an artist, designer and curator Zbyn\u011bk Baladr\u00e1n<\/strong>. Four of his short films made in the last few years will be shown, followed by a conversation that will touch upon Baladr\u00e1n\u2019s<\/strong> artistic practice and art\u2019s place in the time of late capitalism and artificial intelligence. Baladr\u00e1n<\/strong> examines the role of objects through which a society obsessed with itself creates images of its past and future.<\/p>\n

In the films that will be screened, Zbyn\u011bk Baladr\u00e1n<\/strong> reflects on how, in our current time, art\u2019s effect on society is no different from that of any other commodified service. The latest one, The signatures of certain things<\/em> (2022.), is shining a light on the functioning of the art scene in recent decades and can be a starting point for a debate on the ambiguity of the meaning of artworks. Social murder<\/em> (2021.), inspired by Condition of the working class in England by Friedrich Engels, puts a class question in the loop, depicting the working class as the one bearing all the disadvantages of the social order yet not enjoying its advantages and not being able to lead a normal family life. Also inspired by the written text is Catastrophe<\/em> (2019.), with the basis on a single-act play by Samuel Beckett from the early 1980s dedicated to V\u00e1clav Havel imprisoned at the time. This one is also a technical experiment, based on ten compositions, using algorithms with the purpose to simulate a 2D picture so that it resembles a photograph. The series of screenings will be closed with Powerless source of all power<\/em> (2018.), a video essay touching on the pressing topic of artificial intelligence and non-human unconsciousness. Is it really true that the technology world will not bring relief?<\/p>\n

Zbyn\u011bk Baladr\u00e1n, “Powerless Source of All Power”, HDV, 2018, 8:04<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Zbyn\u011bk Baladr\u00e1n<\/strong> (b. 1973, Prague) is an author, visual artist, curator, and exhibition architect. In his works, he investigates territories that are occupied by that part of civilization that we call \u201cWestern.\u201d Using methodologies similar to those used by the ethnographer, the anthropologist, and the sociologist, this post-humanist \u201carchaeologist\u201d is digging up the remnants of the not-so-distant past, looking particularly at societal systems in relation to the heritage of the political left. He studied art history in the Department of Arts at Charles University and new media at the Academy of Fine Arts, both in Prague. In 2001, he co-founded Display \u2013 Association for Research and Collective Practice, where he continues to work as a curator and organiser. He has taken part in exhibitions including Manifesta 5<\/em>, Donostia-San Sebastian; 11th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art<\/em>; 56th La Venice Biennale<\/em>; and Museum of Modern Art, New York.  Baladr\u00e1n is represented by Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, Paris; Gandy Gallery, Bratislava; Hunt Kastner, Prague; and cooperative Salvator Rosa.  zbynekbaladran.com<\/p>\n
