WHO? WHY? Daniel Pešta

WHO? WHY? Daniel Pešta

In the last six years, the work of Daniel Pešta has been presented in visual projects at the Biennale di Arte in Venice, Italy, both in collective exhibitions and in the solo exhibition "Something Is Wrong" in the industrial spaces of the Tana Art Space gallery in 2024.

New edition

The collection of these works will be presented in the Czech Republic for the first time.

We do not study history to be condemned to its repetition, but rather because we might learn from it how to free ourselves from the constantly repeating stereotype. The era in which we were born has influenced each of us, and some things we consider unchangeable. Sometimes we forget that history is not only driven by politics, economics, or technologies, but also by our own opinions and beliefs, but above all by civic engagement.

We know and hear from all sides that human life is sacred, unique, and has immeasurable value. However, humanity tolerates and turns a blind eye to the gross violation of the right to life being broadcast live.

Pešta expresses himself, as always, in a multimedia way, from painting and watercolor to objects, installations, videos, or assemblages that are characterized by the author’s typical existential urgency. Psychological, philosophical, and political themes are the focus of his attention. The question of the future is becoming increasingly important in his work, as technology and information have given humanity unprecedented power.

Hurvínek is celebrating 100 and has a gift for everyone:

In the new film adventure, the whole family is taken to Tramtárie. This year, the legendary Hurvínek turns one hundred! However, he is definitely not ready for the scrap heap, or rather, the woodpile. For his centenary, he has gifted himself a new film adventure. This time, he and Mánička will travel all the way to distant Tramtárie, where they must save not only their four-legged friend Žeryk, who is on the menu of a greedy carnivore, but also fix the broken water cycle. To uncover why a devastating drought has struck the kingdom, they need to understand how nature works. Such knowledge can be useful not only to them but also to all the little and big viewers. Therefore, accept the invitation to Hurvínek's journey to Tramtárie; tickets will be available in cinemas from April 16.
