Vernissage 3 7 2024 / 18:00

Telegraph Gallery is not only a space of our main exhibition hall. It is also the platform that forms the programme for several other floors throughout the building. This time we have decided that for several days art objects will be shown in Telegraph cinema and will be released here for a short time exhibition by artist Patrik Adamec, which were created during his residency in Telegraph.

Patrik Adamec (*1994), despite the fact that he is originally from the north Czech town Chomutov, he spent a decade of his life with parents in Florida. After returning to the Czech Republic Patrik decided to study architecture and industrial design at ČVUT. In 2007 he was accepted to The Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Patrik Adamec is an extensive explorer, who jumps into research of town's streets with huge fantasy and sincere interest in human’s archetypes. In fact, that city for him is not only a group of buildings, but a living ecosystem, where people's stories are connected. The work table, which is considered as the mirror of the soul, is full of unwanted, discarded and forgotten treasure from city exploration. He does not only observe, but also he actively collects fragments of everyday life, which transform to the art objects. In his playful objects appears a question: "What is it actually?". He creates a connection between convention and randomness, makes the voyeur uncertain and forces him to think. His artwork is an invitation to look from another perspective. To the world, which surround each of us, however we often overlook it.
