Project: Ancient Acrobatics
Year: 2024–2025

Curator: Júlia Bútorová
Collaboration: Denisa Kollárová, Nadace Veronica

Documentation: Polina Davidenko

The exhibition is part of the ongoing project Ancient Acrobatics, a collaborative practice with Denisa Kollárová. Temporary commodity explores the symbolic and spiritual layers of garlic as a cultural artifact. Through a participatory format, garlic is elevated to a temporary exchange commodity, inviting visitors to trade it for porcelain amulets. The GMB workspace becomes an open witchcraft studio, intertwining agricultural cycles, artistic practice, and communal ritual. The project involves year-long cultivation in collaboration with local institutions and residents.
