The installation MY SUN, MY SUN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by David Přílučík is the first installation at the new Meta-art object LAVKA-Notgalerie.
David Přilučík's intervention works with the motif of insect light traps.His work - My Sun, My Sun,What have you done? is shifting the logic of hunting and extermination not only to attract visitors's attention, but also to those we have tried to consistently and systematically pull out of our interiers, wardrobes, meals and bloodstreams. As a result of the climate crisis, the failure to investigate the treatment of soil and landscape extinction faces half a million species of insects.One of the key players is also light pollution.
The Display Art Work that he is opening with his Installaiton is the LAVKA-Notgalerie. This was created as a cooperation between Czech artist Martin Zet and Viennese artist Reinhold Zisser and was originally erected as part of Martin Zet's solo exhibition at the House of Arts Brno. In the summer of 2020, the 30-meter-long installation was translocated to the Notgalerie project in Seestadt Aspern, and recently half of it was moved back to Brno, where from now on, for a period of three years, it will establish a connection between the Vienna Seestadt location and Brno.
During this period, artists will be invited to occupy both halves of the LAVKA-Notgalerie bridge and, with their works, to investigate and expand the interweaving that has developed between the two locations.
David Přílučík takes up this invisible interweaving, through which the connection from one place to the other is to be produced at the respective ends of the bridges, and exaggerates the moment through the use of UV light with which he attracts moths and other nocturnal insects that now bring the installation to life. The inverse trap thus functions as an ambivalent space for interspecies meeting and asks questions about the form of our mutual coexistence.Radiation from UV lamps is called black light, and like this phrase, these black rays shining through the exposed objects carry a ontradiction:they must shine to want darkness. When his installations in Vienna and Brno attract butterflies, insects, art visitors and passers-by, the same wavelength of the two light installations creates a moment of transition in which we can tangibly experience the other end of the respective installation for a moment.
Accompanying the opening in the Seestadt Flora Hauser will perform the act "happy ending" with her solo project "Internetband" starting at 9 pm. Flora Hauser plays her second concert with her solo music project internetband. In the performance „happy ending“ internetband leads through an narrative journey that builds up on contextual matter of operetta and emo. Light weight and with a wide range of emotions new compositions will be fluently mixed with a cover of MIKA‘s ballade Happy Ending.
