Dominik Gajarský
section: Fascinations
edition: 2024
country: Czech Republic
born in 1986 lives in Prague, Czechia Gajarský is an artist living in Prague. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (New Media Studio II/ School of Anna Daučíková) and spent a study internship at UdK in Berlin (Josephine Pryde studio) at the same time. Gajarský expresses himself primarily through the medium of text, sound and the moving image. Formally, he often refers to modernist models, but at the same time he looks critically at the canon and hegemony of western culture, among others with regard to socio-political themes. He regularly presents his work in solo and group exhibitions and shows in the Czech Republic and abroad, e.g. at Close-Up Cinema or greengrassi in London, Pioneer works in New York, the Czech Centre in Berlin and the National Gallery in Prague. In 2014 he was one of the finalists of the Leinemann Foundation Award and in 2017 a finalist of Jindřich Chalupecký Art Award. Gajarský uses all tools for editing moving and still digital images in his work. In addition to visual art, he is also an active musician. Under moniker Slowmotiondancer he is producing, mixing and mastering music on the Czech and international scene. He is the author of several soundtracks for performances, theatre shows, short films, documentaries and sound art installations for exhibitions. Together with Michal Pěchouček, he led the Studio of Fine Arts III (Intermedia) at the UMPRUM - Academy of Arts Architecture & Design in Prague where he finished his PhD studies in 2020.
