DOX NANO!

Centre for Contemporary Art DOX, Holešovice, Prague
5. 6. – 9. 7. 2009.

Exhibition DOX NANO! is focused on artistic visualization of the nanocosmos, space of the dimension 10-9 m.

The works of eighteen artists present nanotechnology, nanostructures and nanosystems as a tool and source of concept ideas as well as new understanding of reality. Focusing the different behavior of matter at the dimension of one billionth of a meter offers an excellent visual language for communication as well as new opportunities to formulate the old questions about the meaning of human existence.

DOXNANO! exhibition is accompanied by:
a) popularization lectures on nanotechnology and third culture
b) guided tours of artists participating in the project NANOSKOP
c) nanoLAB by student David Černý – an art installation of scanning confocal microscope, mechanical nanoSPIDER, Detox COLOR, nanoDOG and other art oddities of the nanocosmos.


The exhibition is commencing a series of artistic events developed within the scope of the project NANOSKOP such as METRONANO! – nanoART in Prague Metro, MAKRONANO! – at Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry AS ČR, EASTNANO – at University of Pardubice.

The project NanoSKOP by TESLA Union represents outcome of the workshops between Czech artists and scientists in the form of contemporary artworks dealing with nanoART and broader concepts of the nano dimension.

The nanotechnology inspired artworks point to the present day scientific conferences on nanotechnology in the Czech Republic such as NICOM3, EuroNanoForum2009, Prague Meetings on Macromolecules. Consequently the NanoSKOP project serves also as a genuine artistic and communication outreach of these conferences.

Press conference will be held on the 2nd June 2009 at 11.00 at the Centre for Contemporary Art DOX, cafe
