The project Grid continues the artist’s exploration of moving beyond traditional painting into the realm of the moving image. Vladimír Houdek maintains a modernist approach while also experimenting with new forms. He will be showcasing a new series of collages and short videos, inspired by his film “Kanoucí šíře”. For the choreography featured in the videos, Houdek once again collaborated with Hana Polanska Turečková.

The choreography is rooted in the artist’s collages, which are interpreted and transformed into another expressive language. The exhibition presents a visually striking and expressively refined collage that sits at the intersection of installation, theatre, cabaret, film, and photography. Central to the installation is a network that acts as a grid, framing the entire composition.

The net not only defines the space in which we move, offering something to grasp onto, but also represents the space that ensnares us. The collage is multilayered, and the viewer becomes an integral part of the work.
