New nature

Everything in the world keeps repeating itself over and over, wars, pandemics, architectural styles, life and death. Some of us create our own cycles, from which we just don't like to get out, we find a rhythm of life, a stereotype that we stick to and constantly spin in it. We get up in the morning, go to work, open a beer after work, put the kids to sleep, watch a series and go to bed. After twenty years, for example, we can afford a mortgage, we pay it off and then we die and everything starts all over again somewhere else, all over again, just a little differently, anew. It's hard for us to get out of these cycles, it's so natural, normal. The world is changing, people are still circulating, instead of water lilies LED strips, plastic tubes have replaced vines, it is our world, man has created it. It is a new nature, what man has created, it is natural to him, natural. The lights flash rapidly, the plastics peek out from the asphalt like earthworms. How to deviate from circulations? Can we get out of them? We can each of them out, just materialize our courage and stand out from the crowd. Those who step out will move the world a little further, towards a trip to Mars, a nuclear disaster, a new nature.

Visual artist Zuzana Bartošová (1992) deals mainly with sculpture and combined 3D techniques, which stems from her studies in Sculpture 2 at FaVU in Brno and Natural Materials at FUD in Ústí nad Labem. The main theme of her work is circulation, repetition, as well as the issue of the absence of materiality and its importance (irrelevance) in contemporary artistic creation. He experiments with new materials, prefabs and 3D printing, which he uses as a sculptor's tool, which is not only a certain facilitation of work, but at the same time has many limitations, which he explores and tests their boundaries. Limitation thus becomes the essence of her creation. He creates objects that are interactive and react to their surroundings, especially to visitors who themselves influence their appearance. Since 2019, she has been collaborating with Andrea Uváčiková, with whom she exhibited together, for example, in Kaunas, Lithuania, the OFF/FORMAT gallery or at the Kukačka festival in Ostrava. She was the head of the Object and space department at SUPŠ Jihlava-Helenín and is currently on maternity leave.
