10 - 26 March
hunt kastner from Prague, Czech Republic, presented the works of two Czech artists, Anna Hulačová (b.1984), and Pavla Malinová (b.1985).
'Alien Pollinator' brought together new works by the two artists that are engaged with environmental transformations, proposing a dystopian psycho-folkloric aesthetic. The artists entangled Eastern European mystic traditions, ecology, post-soviet sci-fi visions, the haunted past and future nostalgia. They work to escape the dichotomy of culture and nature, shifting their interests towards eco- feminism and queer ecology to afford a different perspective on the so-called fluid state of political-social transformation, migrations of notions and content of meanings. They present and perceive other-worldly beings (animals, plants, and aliens) as active agents, engaging in the subject not only through their artistic practice but in real life as well.
