Exhibition

SVA presents “Support/Surface Redux,” an exhibition of 3D works by students from the SVA BFA Fine Arts program, as well as students from Brno University of Technology. Curated by SVA faculty member Luis Navarro and Brno University doctorate student Petr Mucha, the exhibition will be on view from Wednesday, October 2 through Thursday, October 31 at the SVA Flatiron Gallery, 133/141 West 21 Street, New York City.

Drawing parallels to the French art movement also known as “Support/Surface” during the late ’60s and early ‘70s which deconstructed the material components of painting, “Support/Surface Redux” redefines this idea in the use of computer-generated 3D works. The exhibition reflects on the dual nature of support, both as a conceptual foundation and as a technical necessity in 3D printing. Employing plastic and resin, the pieces on view showcase the importance of support as an unseen partner necessary for the realization of the work, hence underscoring a symbiotic relationship between concept and material in contemporary art. This exhibition will simultaneously take place at the Flatiron Gallery in NYC and in Prague at Bubec Gallery.

Artists include Elena Fang, Gloria Park, Jessie Soos, Luis Navarro, Maho Kanasashi, Mike Falk, Paola Pomarico, Seohyun Cho, Vinh Vo, and Xinlan Lu from SVA; and Eliska Klokocnikova, Eva Jahnová, Hana Belohorcova, Matyáš Knor, Michal Gabriel, Petr Mucha, Tereza Chocholousova, Tomáš Medek, Tomas Zdvořáček, and Valerie Moravcová from Brno University of Technology.
