The Slovakian artist flanks lessknown works with new installations

摘要

Just like an old friend, the "white cube" has accustomed artists to both its strengths (neutrality) and its weaknesses (neutrality). It lacks challenges, obstacles and problems—things that are not lacking in Roman Ondak's personal Eclipse exhibition. The foundation's space—a former disco and snooker hall—is hardly suited to hosting an exhibition. This inhospitality is at the heart of Ondak's intervention, which begins by narrowing the already cramped entrance space, continues with a series of minimal shifts in the sense of the space, and ends with a majestic roof inversion.%Corne un vecchio amico, il white cube rnha abituato gli artisti tanto ai suoi rnpregi (la neutralità) quanto ai suoi rndifetti (la neutralità): manca di sfide,rndi ostacoli, di problemi. Che invece rnnon sono mancati a Roman Ondâk rnnella sua personale Eclipse: lo spazio rndella fondazione, già discoteca, già rnsala da biliardo, è lungi dall'essere rncongeniale a ospitare una mostra.
