VABANQUE

February 29 - March 13, 2024

Dominik Dragos Pohludka, born in Český Těšín, Czech Republic, working in between Istanbul/Ostrava/Almaty is a multidisciplinary figure blending art, science and activism, His work, inspired by the borderlands of his childhood and the writings of Karel Čapek on robotics and artificial intelligence, critically examines societal norms through a blend of satire and meme culture. Pohludka has showcased his art internationally in many galleries and institutions, including collaborations with renowned artists.

His new exhibition ventures into the uncharted territories of Anti-archaeology, Futuro-archaeology, and Deus-biology, challenging our perceptions of history, time, and life itself. Through a series of meticulously crafted artifacts, installations, and thought-provoking narratives, it invites visitors to explore a world where history is not just discovered but also designed, where the future can be decoded before it unfolds, and where the boundaries between divine creation and biological evolution blur. By traversing these speculative realms, the exhibition seeks to provoke a profound reevaluation of our place in the universe, the nature of our past, and the possibilities for our future, urging us to find a symbiosis between creation and evolution.
