BARE DWELLING 2 consists of an installation, drawings, and videos. The exhibition reflects on issues of housing, home, travel, and a certain sense of provisionality in our country that affects all areas of life—not only the field of art and culture.
BARE DWELLING 2 is a variable installation based on a rooftop “Thule box.” It can function as a trunk with stretchers for two people, a work desk, a studio, a dwelling, or a home—a small private space within a larger space. It visualizes the shrinking space for culture, education, and housing, all of which remain at the periphery of interest for politicians, as well as for some individuals.
Under the name Zovinec Bros, brothers Jozef Žovinec and Martin Žovinec work collaboratively. Their artistic practice focuses on intermedia approaches, including animation, installation, video, objects, and photography. Their work continuously revolves around themes of memory and time, particularly in relation to human-made artifacts and humanity’s mental history.
