ADAM VAČKÁŘ
CITIZIEN ARCHIVIST
FEAT. VITTORIO SANTORO
May 30 –
July 11, 2015

The upcoming work at Counter Space of Adam Vačkář is a reading of the Czech artist’s personal archive and history. Exploring family documents in various formats – letters, poems, photographs, and audio – Vačkář becomes acquainted with cultural topics such as 50s architecture in Prague, the fictional novel «Der Tunnel» by Bernhard Kellermann published in 1913 on the construction of a tunnel linking America with Europe as well as classical compositions. The exhibition includes «Untitled (Cadavre Exquis)», 2015, a collaborative work between Adam Vačkář and Vittorio Santoro, based on an exchange of letters.
