CONTAIN[ERA] Vienna
Exhibition No. 4
Materialized information Transfer in the post-Internet Era
Mobile galleries travelling across Europe
ADÉLA SOUCKOVÁ (CZ)
The installation by Adéla Sou?ková, alumnus of Prague Academy of Fine Arts, and Dresden Hochschule für Bildende Kunste, for the Contain[era] project is a Chiasm. The artist interweaves fragmentary clues with stories without an ending or beginning the same way she is guiding the viewer through her work. The way to entirety is through instinct. Pictogramic drawings of symbols, historical mingling with new continuously, resemble visuality of the Internet - a visuality of flashing caligrams. Through them a video emits light from the end of the space. It is a conclusion, fulfilling of viewer’s desire. What do we desire, anyway? To be deceived by image, to be close, to belonging, to be recognized as an individual. The catharsis is a deception, the video promises everybody the same concept in a repetitive loop. What is true is the body, here, present in the drawings and the object of the video. Body constructs “reality” as well as “virtuality”.
CONTAINER ART INSTALLATION
August 20th until October 20th 2015
@ Boxircus Salztorbrücke
@ Loft City I Alte Ankerbrotfabrik
Site-specific and non-specific, a conflict between information reality and virtuality, global versus national culture and central Europe as an equal part of the European Union.
These are the themes of that international exhibition project Contain[era] that will take place in 2015 in 8 European countries. 8 shipping containers will be turned into moving galleries, each providing space for a multimedia installation of one European emerging artist.
From 20th August 2015 these unique exhibition spaces will circle throughout Europe round Prague, Bratislava, Warsaw, Budapest, Roma, Zurich, Berlin and Vienna. By virtue of different cultural influences in each destination, every exhibition opening will provide a unique experience, an implantation of the container within a specific local environment.

?One of the ambition of the Contain[era] is to materialize the mode of information sharing which we have become accustomed to in the post-Internet era: we constantly unplug content and implant it somewhere else, sharing is the beat of our generation? specify the project initiators.
The mobile galleries will represent closed-up information capsules, presenting artistic perspectives of different national heritages in weekly cycles. After visiting all destinations, eight containers will gather in the organizing city on Prague symposium and following two weeks exhibition.
