About event
We cordially invite you to the launch of the book Nobody and Nowhere by Milan Mazúr, Viktor Takač, Václav Janoščík and Felice Moramarco.
The new book from the ArtMap publishing house was published in cooperation with the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art. The graphic editing was done by Tereza Boturová and Kateřina Havelková.
The problem of a non-linear story or narrative of absence has been present in art for a long time, but today in the context of a protracted crisis and the disintegration of certainties (progress, liberal democratic globalization, relative peace, etc.) acquires new meaning and intensity. The publication brings four original contributions about how to not only think about narratives of absence, but how to understand it as a creative strategy and response to the complexity of the contemporary world. Felice Moramarco deals with the crisis of modern subjectivity, i.e. crumbling notions of man or humanity as a fundamentally rational and historically progressive or universal actor. This disintegration is the main historical-philosophical motive of the non-linear story. Milan Mazúr and Viktor Takač then present their work with this narrative. In Mazúr's contribution, we can observe a number of motifs, plots or moments, among which the experience of migrants has a central place and subjectivity is always in a certain (absent) intermediate space. Takač's contribution represents a set of images from the game environment, which is again generally as a medium or, in the author's specific design, a collage of many seemingly unrelated objects, media, elements or views. The book closes with a game book by Václav Janoščík telling human history as an interactive philosophical game of dynamics and concepts.

The new book from the ArtMap edition was published in cooperation with Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art. The graphic design was done by Tereza Boturová and Kateřina Havelková.
The problem of a non-linear, empty or absent narrative has been present in art for a long time, but today, in the context of a time-consuming crisis, the disintegration of certain certainties (progress, liberal democratic globalization, relative peace, etc.), it is gaining new relevance and intensity. This publication presents four original contributions on how to not only think about the absent narrative, but how to understand it as a creative strategy and response to the complexity of the contemporary world. Felice Moramarco deals with the crisis of modern subjectivity. That is, the disintegrating ideas about man or humanity as a fundamentally rational and historically progressive or universal actor. Precisely this disintegration is the main historical-philosophical motif of non-linear or absent narrative. Milan Mazúr and Viktor Takáč then show their work with these disintegrating stories. In Milan's contribution, we can observe a number of motives, plots or moments, among which the experience of migrants has the main place, the surrounding story and subjectivity is always in a certain (absent) in-between space. Viktor's entry into the book represents a set of images from the game environment, which again, both generally as a medium or in the author's specific design, is a collage of many seemingly unrelated objects, media, elements or views. The book is classified by Václav Janoščík's text game reproducing human history as an interactive philosophical game of dynamics and concepts.
