The essays in this overview of Roman Ondáks work call his pieces "poetic non-events," and "situations." What kinds of non-events exactly? A while ago he parked some vintage Slovak Skodas, with old plates, outside a gallery. Lately hes been giving away chocolate bars, asking the recipients to make something from the wrappers, and exhibiting the resulting works by the hundreds. Includes an interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Roman Ondák represents the Slovak Republic at the 2009 Venice Biennale. In this volume the Slovak artist Roman Ondák has brought together some of his works that deal with time, measurement, and surveying along with those that make visible what evades the visual, namely boundaries and experience. Alongside a complete documentation of the exhibition Measuring the Universe, where the museum attendants checked the body size of the visitors throughout its duration, one also finds Failed Fall (2008), a greenhouse's floor filled with dried autumn leaves, and Across that Place (2008), the story of the no longer existing Canal Zone by the Panama Canal. Whether working with installation, photography...
Slovakian artist Roman Ondák (born 1966) is well known for his interventions in exhibition rooms and architectural spaces, extracting everyday objects and found images and repositioning them in (sometimes participatory) installations. This monograph examines Ondák's work, with previously unpublished images from his archive.
Ondaks Pavillon für die Tschechoslowakei in Venedig 2009 und die Installation?Obsessions? für die dOCUMENTA (13) sind Anlass dafür, seine neuen Arbeiten mit allergrößter Aufmerksamkeit zu verfolgen. Der Katalog dokumentiert in Text und Bild die Recherche, Vorarbeiten und PräƯsentation von einer metaphysischen Reise in die Landschaft, die seine Jugend prägte.0This publication is a personal and metaphysical journey into the landscapes of history and youth of Roman Ondak. He works with conceptual art, that is: art based on an idea. Roman Ondak works with found objects and revitalises the genre by placing the?object? in a broader context, which allows new stories to arise-with both personal, poetic and political power.00Exhibition: Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, Denmark (25.03.-17.09.2017).
The choice of Roman Ondák as the Deutsche Bank's "Artist of the Year" 2012 fell on one of the world's most distinguished Conceptual artists. Using the simplest of means, Ondák creates art that lends a philosophical, political, or sociocritical dimension to everyday experience and perception.0Exhibition: Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, Germany (26.4.-24.6.2012).
"The 2012 Deutsche Bank artist of the year is Roman Ondák, who was born in Žilina in 1966. Ondák, one of Europe's most exciting contemporary artists, was selected on the recommendation of the Deutsche Bank Global Art Advisory Council, consisting of the renowned curators Okwui Enwezor, Hou Hanru, Udo Kittelmann, and Nancy Spector. Ondák manages to question everyday reality with reduced and often rudimentary means. The basis for most of his subtle, sharp-witted works is in fact paper, on which he records his concepts and project drafts. his interventions ususally occur in place where art is shown, sold, or represeneted".--P. 7.
