Event overview
Goldsmiths graduate Lenka Horakova is the winner of the Christine Risley Award 2010 for her piece 'Ideology' and the accompanying performance 'After the Fall'.
The ‘Ideology’ piece investigates a multi-layered nature of several symbols widely used as the signs indicating political power or signifying nation and aspects of its culture. The core of the work lies in the artist’s experience of communism and capitalism; the East and West divide of Europe by an abstract and concrete wall. The work is set in the period of the fall of the Berlin Wall and looks into the implication it had for Europe and the artist’s family. The carpet becomes a medium to convey an ideology and its constant transformation is communicated within the installation/performance titled ‘After The Fall’. Its meaning shifts from being a static emblem attached to the wall into a form of coat of arms and a wearable garment. On a more subjective level the piece also explores themes of home, bonds, detachment, loss and freedom.
