Shapeshift

Shapeshift, OFF/FORMAT gallery, join exhibition,with Andrea Uváčiková, Brno, 2019

The main theme of Andrea Uváčiková and Zuzana Bartošová‘s project SHAPESHIFT is dealing with object, its representation and remediation. Artefacts created directly for the OFF/FORMAT’s gallery exhibition follow and influence each other. The initial prints are made with the techniques of drypoint, serigraphic drawing and prints of objects in whose Andrea Uváčiková explores possibilities of displaying objects in the space so that its spaciness is suppressed. Zuzana Bartošová then follows and transforms them back into 3D form (after they were being shifted into digitized form) into minimalist objects. The tools determine even the size and colours of segments, of whose the objects are made of. Despite of input of the same data, by using 3 different printers there are slight differences in the segments.

Another medium used are photograms and prints. In their “laboratory discoveries” the authors used finished products – either as matrix for print or by exposure to photo paper. In these approached they use again the attempt of object reconstruction, now by using 2D media.
