Kryštof Kaplan: Tension


uvodni fotka

*The exhibition Tension presents three scenic situations through sculptures, site-specific installation and Kryštof Kaplan's objects.* Tension between stability and movement, peace and danger, between the organic and inorganic essence of matter, between its qualities such as heaviness and lightness, hardness and softness, flexibility or rigidity, as well as between the established function of objects and its contradiction – these are topics that sculptor Kryštof Kaplan (born 1987) has been systematically exploring from the time of his studies at Prague’s Academy of Fine Art in the Sculpture II studio with Professor Jindřich Zeithammel, where he subsequently also worked as an assistant. At the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, Kryštof Kaplan presents three situations that use the tension between appearances and reality as their main communication method. They pull the viewer into a semantic game in which expectations about properties and physical laws or about the scale and function of a specific mass or object are eroded and shaken. He first applied this principle in his thesis series entitled _Disappeareance_, which introduces the DOX exhibition. The series contains five sculptures that metaphorically depict the phases one goes through when coming to terms with mortality, as described by psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her book _On Death and Dying._ In the second part of the exhibition, Kaplan built a site-specific installation that reacts directly to the architecture of the DOX Centre. Five aliens that grow through the building’s walls, expanding into the exterior in places where windows were bricked over in the interior, exhibit an obvious animal nature, but on that is relativized upon touching their hard fibreglass surface. Kryštof Kaplan also uses organic forms cast from hung textiles in the third part of the exhibition through his objects _Tourniquet_ and _Solarium_.
