Kri拧tof Kintera: Naturally Postnatural
Galerie Ron Mandos proudly presents the exhibition Naturally Postnatural by Kri拧tof Kintera, one of the most prominent artists working in the Czech Republic today. Exploring the boundaries of contemporary sculpture, Kintera made a name for himself with kinetic objects assembled from everyday materials, as well as thoughtful interventions in urban public space. His works are characterized by a mix of dark humor and social criticism.
With a sharp but playful sense of irony, Kintera comments on capitalism and mass consumerism. In his works, activism and absurdism go hand in hand. In 2015 the artist started working on Postnaturalia: a series of installations, sculptures and drawings deeply rooted in his obsession with the similarities between organic and artificial structures. According to Kintera, we live in an info-industrial copper age. He shows how we are constantly surrounded by copper wiring, spreading out like a finely woven grid: inside the walls of our homes, the smartphones in our hands and in the ground underneath our feet. This complex network of cables and wires shows remarkable similarities to the roots of plants, or rather the mycelial cords of fungi.
