Place of the day and night
Petr Stanický
22. juni - 15. september
Vernissage fredag 21. juni kl. 19.00
Med utstillingen "Place of the day and night” åpner den tsjekkiske kunstneren Petr Stanický (f. 1975), S12 sitt nye galleri på Bontelabo. Blant arbeidene som vises er en stedsspesifikk installasjon -et tredimensjonalt maleri, inspirert av lysforholdene i overgangen mellom dag og natt.
Petr Stanický er en klassisk utdannet skulptør som arbeider med glass - litt som en arkitekt. Han repeterer og overdriver enkelte aspekt ved stedets arkitektur eller omgivelser, slik at betrakteren kan få en sterkere opplevelse av det. Selv om Stanický kombinerer ulike materialer, fornekter han sjelden glassets naturlige optiske og estetiske egenskaper. Han utnytter det faktum at man kan se rett gjennom det, samtidig som det reflekterer og speiler virkeligheten rundt oss. Stanický påvirker stedet, og forhåpentligvis også betrakterens følelser med sine objekter og installasjoner.
Dette er første gang Petr Stanický stiller ut i Norge. Han har en bred utdanning med spesialisering innen steinhogging, glass i arkitektur og figurstudier fra institusjoner i Tsjekkia, Skottland og USA. Han har arbeidet i Jeff Koons sitt studio, undervist ved Academy of Art, Architecture and Design i Praha og leder i dag et masterprogram i glass ved Tomas Bata universitet i Zlín. Høsten 2017 stilte han ut på Victoria and Albert museum i London.
Åpent tirsdag-lørdag 12-16

Place of the day and night
Petr Stanický
22nd of June - 15th of September
Vernissage Friday 21st of June at 7 p.m
With the exhibition “Place of the day and night” Czech artist Petr Stanický (b. 1975) is opening S12’s new gallery space at Bontelabo. Among the works he is showing is a site specific installation - a three dimensional painting, inspired by the changing light conditions occurring in the transition between day and night.
Petr Stanický is a classically trained sculptor working with glass - almost like an architect. In his pieces he repeats and exaggerates some aspects of the surrounding architecture, revoking in the viewer a stronger experience of both the work and its surroundings. Although he often combines different materials, he rarely denies the glass’ natural optical and aesthetic properties. He takes advantage of the fact that glass is an illusive material - we can look straight through it, whilst at the same time it is reflecting and mirroring the reality around us. Stanický makes an impact on the space, and hopefully also affects the viewers emotions in their interaction with his objects and sculptures.
This is the first time Petr Stanický is showing his work in Norway. He has a broad education from institutions in the Czech Republic, Scotland and the US, specialising in stone carving, glass in architecture and figure studies. He has worked on sculptural projects in Jeff Koon’s studio, taught at the Academy of Art, Architecture and Design in Prague and today he is leading a masters program in glass at Tomas Bata University in Zlín. In the fall 2017 he exhibited his work at Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
