Original language name

Dominik Lang: Milenci. Curated by Karel Císař

Original language description

In The Sleeping City, Lang's focus ? based on a large collection of his father's sculptures ? was the afterlife of art; in The Lovers, his latest project, he employs several variants of the motif of loving couples for the purpose of inquiring into the representation of bare life. While letting the viewers observe the naked bodies and the uncovered faces of sculptures resigned to a loss of their individuality and melting in an embrace or a kiss, he simultaneously lets the viewers be observed by means oftwo arched panels. The architectonic ordering, far from a mere basis for the presentation of the sculptures, also organizes the space of the gallery. Even as we believe that the folds of the wooden barriers provide a private space for observing intimatescenes, we can be surprised by a newcomer at any moment. The bare life that is being exhibited here is a life not only of the sculptures but also of ourselves.
