Join artist Radka Bodzewicz and curator Michaela Šilpochová for a guided tour of the exhibition Beyond Words, in which works by twelve contemporary visual artists raise questions about the nature of our literary culture, about the way we read and understand the world, about the importance of stories in our lives, about the relationship between author and reader, and about the future of books in our digital age and the possibilities and limits of new technologies.
During the tour, Bodzewicz will cast some light on her literary inspirations and the way she works with augmented reality.
Radka Bodzewicz (1991) is a Czech visual artist who works with classical painting and new media. In recent years, she has been experimenting with painting in virtual reality by incorporating an extra augmented reality layer in her paintings on canvas. Her monumental paintings are often accompanied by video art, holographic images, and 3D printing. She is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. In 2016, during her studies, she participated in an internship at Gray’s School of Art at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. In 2018 she was a finalist for the Leinemann-Stiftung für Bildung und Kunst Award. She lives and works in Prague.
Exhibiting Artists: Brian Dettmer, Georgia Russell, Ivan Pinkava, William Kentridge, Douglas Coupland, Radka Bodzewicz, Matej Krén, Vladimír Doležal, Millicent Young, Krištof Kintera, Anna Beata Háblová, Volker März
