PORTAL

PORTAL

PORTAL is a twin apparition, an exercise in simultaneity that cuts across space, bridging two countries, two cities, two exhibition venues. Happening at once in Prague's Holešovická Šachta and Vienna's Clubclub, the show(s) run(s) in an odd parallel – a unity which bears the marks of a possible past split, a unity which always remains incomplete, false. Passing through the portal, we thus encounter colors and shapes that feel both alike and different: an entanglement of agents which observe each other from afar, nervously awaiting coalescence.
