The exhibition Incentive 2, prepared by Anna Slama and Marek Delong ejects us out of the vehicle of progress directly into posthuman fallout.
Where were you when I created this world, and where will you be when it’s over?
The exhibition Incentive 2, prepared by Anna Slama and Marek Delong, ejects us out of the vehicle of progress directly into posthuman fallout. In this context, the collective consciousness of never-ending anxiety, inability to “catch-up” to the present, and unremitting production of materials has finally caved in on itself, unable to support its own weight or consequences.
The remains – leftover fragments of man’s technological accomplishments (or failures), now consumed by the organic substances by which we have sought to subvert and exploit, and enigmatic symbols once recognizable, once naively thought to be immanent, lain bare and waiting. The notion of anthropocentrism – the hierarchical structure by which man distances himself as a unique entity on the earth has dissipated. Creating a tension between loss and gain, the atmosphere exists as an ephemeral limbo, encompassing elements of both past and future, apocalypse and resurrection.

Marek Delong is currently living and working in Prague. Throughout his work, which includes moving image, painting, and site-specific installation, he explores topics on perspective, abandoned aesthetics, and contemporary ideologies. He has exhibited his work in solo as well as group shows in Prague, Olomouc, Brno and New York City. Delong most recently exhibited his video work Inequality (2016) as part of the Dreams That Money Can Buy project in Gallery Drdova.
Anna Slama currently lives and works in Brno and partially in Prague. She is finishing her last year at FaVu VUT, and also studied in the Studio of Sculpture at UMPRUM in Prague. Her work includes moving image, ecological living sculptures, and site-specific installations. Many of her works emphasize the tension, yet at times also synthesis between man and nature. Most recently she has exhibited her work in the exhibition Apocalypse Me in Armaturka – Galerie Emila Filly, Ústí nad Labem.
