The Divine Comedy 28 May - 18 Jul 2020 … So full was I of slumber at the moment
In which I had abandoned the true way …
Dante Alighieri: The Divine Comedy, Inferno 1
Radka Bodzewicz's largest solo exhibition to date, created especially for Bold Gallery, explores the theme of Dante's Divine Comedy. The journey takes viewers through the three phases of post-mortal existence - Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise - which the graduate of Vladimír Kokolia's studio at Prague's Academy of Fine Arts portrays as an emotional or psychic state and relates it to today's everydayness. In her latest works of figural abstraction, Bodzewicz has fully exploited the possibilities of her own original technique, which mixes principles of painting, graphics, drawing, and sculptural modelling. In addition, she presents here for the first time the results of her experimentation with the expansion of traditional painting using elements of virtual reality, literally giving classical pictorial space an entirely new dimension. The project is accompanied by an interactive catalogue with commentary by exhibition curator Radek Wohlmuth. Read more -

Invisible Cities
město - vize - skutečnost 26 Jun - 3 Aug 2019 Projekt pojmenovaný podle stejnojmenné knihy Itala Calvina, která popisuje fiktivní rozhovor Marka Pola s vládcem Čínské říše Kublajchánem o pozoruhodných městech, přičemž jeden druhému nerozumí. Koncept výstavy tuto absurdní a zároveň poetickou situaci vnímá jako metaforu, na jejímž základě předkládá další modely možností „intuitivní topografie“. Jestli v literární předloze města ztrácejí kontury v devastující trojkombinaci paměti, překladu a rozdílné kulturní reality, expozice nabízí jiné druhy zpochybňování. „Konkrétní“ urbanistické celky se v jejím rámci rozpouštějí v historii, nefunkčních mapách, tradovaných mýtech, adorované utopii, těkajícím pohledu nebo odtrženém detailu. Výjimečná vizuální koncepce kombinuje výtvarné práce z posledních let s originálními historickými artefakty. Výběr předních umělců zaměřených na tématiku města se v tomto případě dostává do konfrontace s kultovními lepty jednoho z nejvýznamnějších grafiků 18. století Giovanni Battisty Piranesiho.
