We are pleased to invite you to the next reading of our off program of the current exhibition It’s Not Your Fault, with the non-collective Björnsonova.
Nik Timková, Zuzana Žabková, Tanja Šljivar and Tamara Antonijević will read from Communist Dream: Glossary self-published by björnsonova, in which they gathered notions, definitions, quotes, and some bad jokes from their life, dreams and disastrous openings.
The reading will be accompanied by the coloring of the new, 13th, Čosity card.
Bio: The Björnsonova* non-collective was founded in 2015. The members featured in Jindřich Chalupecký Award 2021 include Nik Timková (1986), Zuzana Žabková (1987), Lucie Svoboda Mičíková (1986), Lucia Kvočáková (1984), Tamara Antonijević (1989) and Tanja Šljivar (1989). The artistic and interdisciplinary platform for experimentation, research and sharing is operated by a whole range of artists from the Prague, Berlin, Brussels and Belgrade art scenes. Björnsonova is a platform as well as a fictional character, a mystery, a monster, a teenager, a witch with an ever-changing appearance. Her body is a metaphor for the functioning and dynamic of the collective, with all parts of the whole being inseparable while creating their own environment. Authorship and individual self-presentation play a minimum role. The artists interconnect their practices to explore the relation between the body and its environment, using various anti-strategies to stir notions of how this relation may change. In 2017, two members received the Oskár Čepan Award, along with other Award finalists. Currently, the Björnsonova non-collective studies COI (Class of Interpretation) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and the CPRC (Collective Practice Research Course) post-graduate program at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. They presented their work at Czech and international galleries, clubs and festivals; in Košice, Berlin, Marseille and Belgrade among others. Björnsonova is currently owned by a cat.
