The exhibition is conceived as a „Situational Exhibition“, that is an exhibition that was created as a reflection on a certain situation directly in the Gallery of the University of Pardubice, both on the architectural form of the gallery and on the situations and moments that took place there during the first, introductory visit. Spontaneous and random impressions became the inspiration and pre-image for the works created subsequently.
Daniela's observations during her first visit to the gallery: "I wanted to think in peace, document the empty space, I expected to be alone, but there were several people there and my 6-year-old son was disturbing me, making me nervous. I stopped... And I watched the child's experience, he ran around, brought thistles from outside, jumped on the tiles…
Banal, playful, unexpected situations happened there.
I blended the moment, the spontaneity and physicality of the small child and a space that is not architecturally valuable at first sight, but is specific. The architecture is imperfect, like the gallery itself. Details such as the edge of the ceramic plinth not wiped after painting, the cheapest industrial ceramic tiles, the flower pots covered with these tiles, the cheapest switches next to the paintings, crooked joints, cracked grout…
I captured moments of architecture in the paintings and installed them so that both were in the field of view.
A view through the outside glass corner into the painting with this corner. An unwiped plinth opposite the painting with an unwiped plinth and a gaudy mouth with crooked teeth. A plastic door in front of the painting with a plastic door and stickers of bird silhouettes stuck on the gallery glass. Also dirt behind fingernails and a colorful thistle, fries stuck in ketchup and a leg sticking out of the panel.”
