ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Solo exhibition of Karin Písaříková, in which she explores the theme of cleaning. Using the method of artistic research, she reflects on the subjectivity of human experience with chaos and order. She explores the motif of care and sustainability, invisible tasks that are repeated daily. It focuses on the idea of cleanliness as synonymous with goodness and on purification in a ritual sense. He compares the cyclical nature with which brushes move and remove dirt deposits to the cycle of human life.

Her extensive exhibition activity includes shows and festivals, mainly in Tokyo, but also elsewhere in Japan, as well as in Lithuania and the Czech Republic. She is a long-time curator of Umakart Gallery, an off-space gallery she founded in Brno, and a lecturer.
