Material Talk by Klára Čermáková, St.A.i.R (Styrian Artist in Residence).
Klára Čermáková (*1992 Kladno) is a visual artist / human being. She lives and works in Prague. Her work has been showcased in numerous group exhibitions across Europe, for instance, Czechia, France, Germany, and Slovenia. Klára participated in various residencies, including Budapest, Bucharest, Český Krumlov, Prague, Kollnburg, and Strasbourg.
Her objects and installations are connected by a porous boundary between natural and artificial, body and technology, and — last but not least — between art and science. The level of meaning is intuitive creation and construction, where the basis is the material itself and the joy of its transformation and discovery. She understands art as a specific way of communication that emphasizes the importance of neglected imaginative and empathic cognition.Her questions are about the excessive emphasis on rational thinking and drawing attention to the inability of today’s society to truly perceive its surroundings.
Klára’s interest also revolves around the limits of contemporary labor and non-hierarchy social structures.
