CRAFTS FICTION

The Crafts Fic­tion exhibition offers a jour­ney back in time – simul­taneously into the distant past and the indefinite future. The works of art on display, although very dif­ferent at first glance, have a similar hybrid nature. They com­bine and mutate elements of dif­ferent natural and cul­tural realities. What makes them unique is the special focus on the original and individual tech­nique of their execution, as if it were a question of creating not only a work of art, but also an evocative, artisanal master­piece, an object of unpreceden­ted genre. Refer­ring to various traditional lan­guages of plastic fabrication – pain­ting, figural sculp­ture, marquetry – they vary their proper­ties to create a futuristic image of the world or post-​civilization. These are visions with varying degrees of optimism, but each is radically seduc­tive and visually fascinating.
