Janek Simon
MACHINE LEARNING FOLKLORE

The latest exhibition by Janek Simon at Raster has an open struc­ture. Instead of a traditional, arran­ged showing of com­pleted artistic objects, we are given a process, a situation sug­gesting a visit to the studio, where we can observe “live” the chan­ging progress of work on each project.

Janek Simon
PEOPLE WITH THE HEADS OF DOGS

Simon’s many exotic trips over the past dozen years have served to develop his para-​artistic endeavors, vested on the frin­ges of economics, art and post-​colonial thought. His newest exhibition is an offshoot of these ear­lier experien­ces, as it also inverts the per­spec­tive of the artist as observer. Simon’s main topic of interest shifts from inter­cul­tural exchange towards the sub­jec­tive observations of a researcher-​traveler: exploration, and con­fabulation, too, of which the experien­ces of recognized travelers, repor­ters and artists are full of.

ALUMINUM SONG

The exhibition explores the lyrical and political proper­ties of matter that co-​created cer­tain legends of industry – and its demise. Aluminum – a ligh­tweight, non-​corrosive metal – appears in a range of forms, both as an artistic medium and an industrial material, a ready-​made of sorts. Its artistic legacy is intrin­sically con­nec­ted to the idea of deper­sonalizing the act of creation.
