Information

Artist and poet Anne-Claire Barriga comes from Brittany and now is based in Prague. She studied social sciences and literature in Paris, and later she graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Her multimedia works are often based on the combination of text and video.

In the exhibition for the Living Room Art Space, she works with three layers – painted symbols, objects and poetry. Invasion, disruption and a dynamic structure unites these works. Anne-Claire’s language shifts like a sea creature searching for a new shell after an attack. When she felt threatened as a foreigner in her mother tongue, she found peace in different languages. She created a new script, where she communicates through concealed meanings. This exhibition represents a complete fusion of visual arts and poetry; the visual writing by Anne-Claire Barriga substitutes the known graphic versions of language, where reading in images is necessary.

Living Room Art Space

The new exhibition program of Studio ALTA.

In the environment of separated art circles and genres, different fields rarely interconnect, even though they are very close and can enrich each other. Studio ALTA interrogates this separation by creating a new exhibition program in the Living Room that connects these seemingly disparate entities.

Living Room Art Space is inspired by the experimental and interdisciplinary character of our cultural space in Holešovice. During its first year, the program presents artists who oscillate between different fields –  the program combines visual arts with music, poetry, movement, science and others. The chaotic, non-gallery space that is the Living Rooms allows for an exploration between the possibilities of visual presentation, interdisciplinary forms, and social communication.
