Anatomical Orchestra. In her body of work, the Czech artist consistently focuses on the disciplining of the individual. The exhibition space is transformed into a surreal stage, where oversized instruments, peculiar prostheses and alike objects await their activation by the human body.
Schinkel Pavillon presents Anatomical Orchestra, the first institutional solo exhibition of Eva Kotátková (*1982 Prague) in Berlin. In her body of work, the Czech artist consistently focuses on the disciplining of the individual. The corset the individual is forced into by external influences – such as family and school, as well as the rules of society or even e.g. architecture – is being illustrated in various mediums and diverse forms of expressions.
With Anatomical Orchestra, Kotátková concentrates on the interface between the body and the environment. The exhibition space of Schinkel Pavillon is transformed into a surreal stage, where oversized instruments, peculiar prostheses and alike objects await their activation by the human body.
As part of the exhibition there will be two concerts of the soloist ensemble Kaleidoskop that pick up the topic of the fragmented body.
Eva Kotáková has recently had solo exhibitions at the Wroclaw Museum of Contemporary Art as well as at the Modern Art Oxford. Her works were furthermore shown in 2010 at the Liverpool Biennale, in 2012 at the 18th Biennale of Sydney, as well as in 2013 at the Encyclopedic Palace of the 55th Venice Biennale.
Schinkel Pavillon thanks the Hauptstadtkulturfonds for their funding as well as the Czech Centre for their support.
