Playful art alluding to the state administrative apparatus
Tobačna Gallery is presenting works of Viktor Bernik at the exhibition "HA, HA, HA!". Bernik takes on contemporary society with playfulness and humour, shifting back and forth between the fields of painting and those of drawing, video, graphics as well as spatial installation, intervention and events.
Although the bulk of the works presented are from his current production, the exhibition also features a number of drawings and sketches from Bernik’s past projects whose stories have never completely been put to bed.
The question of the space in which an image appears
His exhibition Ha, Ha, Ha! is conceptually based on “returning” to the image and to the question that he has never completely abandoned, i.e. the question of the space in which an image appears.
Viktor Bernik’s creative output is endowed with two distinctive features: referencing social reality and the use of various formal solutions. Bernik takes on contemporary society with playfulness and humour, shifting back and forth between the fields of painting and those of drawing, video, graphics as well as spatial installation, intervention and events.
