HYB4 Galerie: Jiří Petrbok: Hard to Be a God | Opening

Site specific exhibition by Jiří Petrbok examinates new-old approaches. An allegory of the vanity of the polarity of the welfare world in consumerism, warfare and the search for self-determination in themes beyond the human matter. Petrbok will present a completely new series of works that do not seek solutions or answers to serious questions, they only paraphrase and reflect the continuous media reflection of the world in the author's work.

C.0 HYB4 Galerie is opened: Mon—Fri 9am—10pm, Sat 10am—9pm

The opening will also include a performance by artist Jo Blin.

Through interactions between the performer in the room and a mysterious robotic voice, the DAILOGS series explores the complicated relationships between human beings and the systems they trust.

Presented here as fragments scattered around the exhibition, the performance tells the incomplete story of a character with no name who—for unknown reasons—allows her own decisions to be dictated by a not-quite-ready technological entity.  Each scene will show a different stage in her precarious condition as she follows instructions, going through various kinds of mysterious trainings and self-help rituals, her intentions ranging from basic self-improvement to taking over the world.
