Petr Stanický
Place of the day and night
22nd of June-15th of September

With the exhibition “Place of the day and night” Czech artist Petr Stanický (b. 1975) opened 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. This is the first time Petr Stanický is showing his work in Norway. Read more
