In Jaro Varga\u2019s library, everyone can find a book they would like to read. A reader simply needs to write down its title on the ridge of a volume that lies on the shelf. Such a book collection, created together with the audience, is the result of our interests, creativity, and needs that we have towards public libraries. The library, claims the artist, is a specific construction of common knowledge that refers to its time and current ideology. In Varga\u2019s installation, collective memory that constructs this knowledge goes in pair with individual memory, a subjective experience of a single reader. Books on the shelves of this unique collection, which was first displayed in 2008, initially embody the idea of tabula rasa. By filling it up with particular titles, the audience creates an interactive, democratic space, stripped of a material artifact. It allows the antagonistic contexts to coexist next to each other, without oppression, exclusion, or any control. The library becomes a cognitive map of visitors \/ citizens.<\/p>\n

Jaro Varga<\/strong> (born in 1982 in Slovakia). Lives and works in Prague. Jaro Varga explores the phenomenon of experience as a performance by rethinking the usual forms of its representation. He creates a new choreography of viewer\u2018 s movement in a familiar location. This creates a quasi guidebooks for urban explorers (Urbex), through which he constructs a new topography to encourage to a new understanding of the site, which is otherwise stereotypically fixed in memory. Thus the images of the past or imaginary microconflicts retrieve in parallel worlds of the city, again to play in real time and space. His work is analytical and it is characterized by the use of the methodology of research; often statistical and cartographic aesthetics or photos, videos and installations. It relates to a new urban geography \/ neo-geography and moves from sociology to psycho-geography methods of urban exploration.<\/p>\n
