This episode of the CCAiB podcast features Ferry Ferenc, a multimedia artist working with visual shortcuts, humor, and text in his work. Drawing inspiration from comic strips, Ferenc uses humor as a foundational element in his art, aiming to entertain while offering various layers of interpretation. Beyond his visual art practice, Ferenc is actively involved in stand-up comedy. This engagement allows him to observe audience reactions firsthand, refining his artistic approach and enriching his exploration of humor.
In this episode, we discuss his current exhibition, "Snake Skins", which is on display at BHROX Bauhaus Reuse from May 13 to May 19.
Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin (CCAiB) aims to systematically map, render visible, interconnect, and expand the existing networks of artists and curators with Czech-German backgrounds. This project is built upon three key pillars: an online podcast, studio visits, and networking events. The podcast's essence lies in crafting a timeless online database that not only spotlights individual positions but also portrays a nuanced web of relationships by charting the Czech art scene within the context of its ties to the German art scene. Through this approach, we offer an overview of the breadth of connections and also archive individual positions, potentially enhancing the prospects for future collaborations.
