The exhibition aims to legitimize these experimental approaches and present them as distinct artistic genres that reflect contemporary tendencies and issues in visual culture. Positioned between communication design and action art, the exhibition challenges the binary divide between artistic autonomy and functionality, reshaping existing structures in both the visual and social spheres.
The central theme of the exhibition is conversation—not only as a subject of exploration but as the very means of expression. The installation will create a space for genuine dialogue, moving away from the competitive nature of debate as described by philosopher Gilles Deleuze. While debate may be seen as a “waste of time,” conversation carries the potential for transformation, which the exhibition seeks to explore and encourage.
The performative installation will be facilitated by Tereza Rullerová, who will actively engage the audience and shape an environment where real dialogue can take place.
This exhibition aspires to become a playground for sharing and transformation, stimulating reflection on the new possibilities of communication design as a tool for social emancipation and artistic innovation. Following last year’s exhibition by micro-influencer and TikTok star Jakub Polách, Žijeme ve společnosti (We Live in Society), this is another example of an exhibition collaboration with figures from the graphic design field, reinforcing the futility of the essentialist divide between applied and fine arts.
