Ján Mančuška

fjk3–Contemporary Art Space

By Vanessa Joan Müller

Art was heavily influenced by new media in the first decade of the twenty-first century. However, it was also a looking back to the predigital era, reflecting on the replacement of analog film with video. Ján Mančuška (1972–2011) took up this media-ontological moment in much of his artistic practice. “Incomplete Movement,” curated by Fiona Liewehr in collaboration with Julia Hölz, presents a concise collection of Mančuška’s works addressing the point when moving images became digital. Descriptive and performative modes of language in addition to the perception of physical space accompany Mančuška’s nonlinear, fragmented forms of narration.
