There have been debates going on for the past several years about the issue whether fashion should be considered as art. Fashion design is often blamed for its hypocrisy - for the fact that the clothing results or fashion creations cause unification, which suppresses the originality of an individual. On the other hand, fashion is considered as some kind of a statement carried on one’s own body. We are probably addressing this issue here due to the fact that the space of the Start up project in the Colloredo–Mansfeld Palace will be occupied by vests with embroidery and a video clip containing these vests by Klára Vystrčilová, instead of paintings or sculpture.

Full exhibition text.

The exhibition called Alone in Babylon by Klára Vystrčilová, Pal Rödenius and Nik Timková is a part of the fiurth edition of the project Start up. The format of the series of exhibition grouped under the collective title Start up is a contribution rendered by Prague City Gallery towards the process of charting the creative output of the youngest generation active on Czech art scene.

For its fourth annual edition, Start up is moving its venue to the Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace which will host a total of five of the project’s exhibitions. Along with several flagship exhibitions curated by Monika Čejková, the series will newly include projects mounted by young curators whose presentations will thus be linked with the individual shows. The exhibitions of project’s four edition will be visually designed by young students of graphic design.
