The Prague-based artist is known for his oversize sculptures that comment on politics, corruption and the evils of society
CECUT officials say it took two years to cultivate this exhibition with the binational collaboration of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Hohmann Gallery in Palms Springs.
Hohmann Gallery representative Virgina Repasky said at the opening of the exhibit on Aug. 1: “His work not only speaks to his native country but is universal. He asks each of us with each of his pieces not to be complacent but to think about things like social injustice, environmental problems and country invasions, so he asks us in his own way to think, question and act.”
On opening day, people lined up to enter room 2 of The Cube. The first object they encountered was a giant baby, just over six feet tall, in a crawling position and whose face is replaced by a stamped bar code. First presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 1994, the giant babies have since been exhibited worldwide. The baby sculptures traveled to Tijuana from the Hohmann Gallery in Palm Springs, where they were on exhibit for nearly five years.
This can become difficult to perceive, but on the other hand I have discovered how after 20 years it is understood to be about how the powerful feed off each other.“The Christ,” at the end of communism in Czechoslovakia the churches did not have the Christ sculpture, so many priests managed to make their own Christ by hand. Hence the joke that we could all be artists if you bought an assembly kit and created something yourself.
