Diligence

Projekt Píle zkoumal obrazy společenského uspořádání, zrcadlící se ve včelím úlu, důvody jejich vymizení a možnost jejich návratu. Výstava tematizovala lidský vztah k včelí utopii či dystopii jako příznak společenského ovzduší. Pojednávala „včelí píli“ v metaforických rovinách i v doslovnějších společenských a ekonomických odkazech. Today, diligence no longer means what it used to. Success without strenuous effort seems much more attractive. To admit that we have nothing to do and plenty of time, however, seems also improper. As if we were not desired, not important. We do not want to be busy as a bee but we would not wish to be unemployed either. Bees work ceaselessly and rhythmically and they do not care about an individual. They exist and die for the sake of the whole. Why not be diligent bees, join the hive. We explore the images of various forms of social organisation as they are mirrored in the beehive, the reason for their disappearance and the possibility of their return.The exhibition introduces the human relationship towards the bee utopia or dystopia as a symptom of the social atmosphere.
