curator: Jakub Král

 Ondřej Vicena (b. 1988) is an artist with two complementary careers. In one, he works with arts and crafts, and in the other he creates works of fine art. In his installations, he goes in search of lost categories of beauty within archives of the visual garbage of recent history – trash both real and virtual. Today – in a manner reminiscent of Clement Greenberg’s famous thesis – we, too, are restoring the pluralist form of traditional categories of art through the intersection of culture with parallel expressions of high and low art, whose relationship has in the meantime been turned upside down. Ondřej Vicena is a graduate of Tomáš Svoboda’s Department of New Media at Prague’s Academy of Fine Arts (2018).
