Grimmuseum is pleased to present the first solo exhibition by Czech artist Matyáš Chochola in Berlin.
About
In his artistic practice, Chochola combines contemporary influences of the Internet culture and computer animation with contrasting imagery of shamanistic and spiritual experiences. Chochola's sculptures and installations are characterized by antagonistic forms that exploit a range of materials - wood, glass, rubber, ceramics, tin, feathers and stone. They connect abstract forms and everyday objects, creating as a whole a harmonious chaos.
In Astral Dust Astral, topics of tribal cultures, totemic animals and rituals guide through the exhibition, while performances by Chochola himself as well as czech artists, performers and musicians, invited by the curator Jen Kratochvil, create new rhythmicized and performative scenes within the space.
