We would like to invite you to the opening of the Czech and Slovak Pavilion, presenting The Silence of the Mole, a project by Jakub Jansa @jakub.jansa and Selmeci Kocka Jusko @selmecikockajusko , curated by Peter Sit @sssitdownnn
This joint representation marks the 100th anniversary of the pavilion, which bears the name of a country that no longer exists—Czechoslovakia. In this sense, the exhibition takes place within the pavilion of a “fictional” country, a condition that, in the current political climate, can be understood as both a metaphor and a possible point of departure for thinking about future forms of national representation.
Opening: Giardini, May 7, 3 pm
Unfortunately the project title will not appear on the pavilion’s facade. Its visual identity continues inside the pavilion across the exhibition, including a catalogue designed to be handled and experienced physically, all carefully designed by Jan Brož @imageneered
We look forward to welcoming you.
