cinema exhibition POP-UP art

The Telegraph Gallery is not just our main exhibition space. It is also the platform that forms the programme for several other floors throughout the building. And this time, we decided to replace the films in the Telegraph cinema with visual art for a few days, with a short-term exhibition project by artist Tomáš Roubal.

Tomáš Roubal (*1982) is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. He is engaged in sculpture, painting, drawing and author's book. His work responds to current issues in society and explores them in a visually clear and simple handwriting. For example, he deals with the topic of job burnout and the false illusion of man on social media and the internet. He portrays the fluidity of today's world through handmade and time-consuming welding, or his own technique, hand 3D metal printing. With these slow processes he defines himself against accelerated time. He also works with error, which becomes an intention in his objects. The exhibition, titled 5G, alludes to the shift of human life to the online space.
