| Description | The exhibition Oversensitive. Invisible. Resilient. presents the work of contemporary artists Dorota Jedináková (Department of Photography and New Media, Academy of Performing Arts) and Kateřina Šípová and Marie-Anna Šulc (Department of Fine Arts, Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague). Each of the exhibition projects more or less explicitly thematizes different levels of the vulnerable, non-normative body and metaphorically offers forms of alliance through which we can "remain vulnerable." Oversensitive experiences of pain or anger in women are stereotypically marked, an issue addressed broadly by Dorota Jedináková's multimedia installation STORM, which consists of two videos, audio recordings, and a series of black-and-white photographs on aluminum plates. Socio-systemically invisible are bodies that deviate from normative categories of health, proper functioning, or bodily autonomy. The processes of their visibility, recovery, and reclamation are explored in Marie-Anna Šulc's video Pelvic Chain. What should the body and mind look like? And how to remain resilient against the type of visibility that reinforces dominant narratives of life in pain? These questions are thematized by Kateřina Šípová's drawings, collages, and textile objects, which seem to suggest that we are all different and that what is strange is actually the norm. |
