NONGKRAN PANMONGKOL AND LEXA PEROUTKA
PROTOCARGO
(MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION, 2021)

The stylized vehicle is the work of an international artistic duo (Thai-Swedish multimedia artist Nongkran Panmongkol and Prague postconceptual artist Lexa Peroutka). Their Protocargo is an archetypal vehicle made of tubular scaffolding and multiplied bicycle components. The authors try to cultivate wild crops on it. The large object is complemented by a video recording of a performative event referring to the experimental preparation of food using wild crops. They thematize the element of migration – both in terms of human movement and in the context of the related global distribution of plant species. Pamongkol and Peroutka refer to the complex issues of transport and movement, borders and clashes of cultures, the roots of civilization, uni-versal economic laws and the interdependence and dependence of all these elements.

rec by Michal Ureš

 

Long grill that stretches from one side of the display window to the other one manifests the social situation of human multitudes. The long wheel is rotating slowly as social transformations are happening. It is traditional narrative of different cultures where the values are evaluated, codified, standardized and publicly explained and where high expectations of the future of current society are present.

Dlouhé grilovací břevno protíná výstavní vitrínu z jedné strany na stranu druhou a manifestuje společenskou situaci společenské masy. Dlouhé kolo pomaluje rotuje, paralelně probíhají společenské proměny. Je to tradiční popis, představení, symbol odlišných kultur, které své hodnoty předefinovávají, kodifikují, standardizují, normalizují a zveřejňují. Velká společenská očekávání se vytváří.
