Miroslava Vecerova @ Czech Centre, London

For their new exhibition, Czech artists Miroslava Večeřová and Pavel Příkaský transform the gallery space of Czech Centre London into a stage that is simultaneously both, an art installation and a site of performance. With the title of the exhibition referring to the capacity of a sign, image or word to have more than one meaning, this latest collaboration presents a creative dialogue of the artists through combinations of painting, performance, video and site specific installation.
Adopting the visual language and commercial tropes of high street medical providers, The Polysemy installation takes its form from a new collaborative video work, Inner Monologue (2016) which was shot partly within a doctor’s surgery. The installation weaves together large scale, microscopic photographic images with sculptural interventions in the gallery space, abstract painting with video work and perhaps most mysteriously a huge image of a woman about to undertake an MRI scan.
