Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd (1961) se narodil v\u00a0\u010cesk\u00e9 L\u00edp\u011b. Rodi\u010de pracovali u \u010ceskoslovensk\u00fdch drah – matka jako \u00fa\u010detn\u00ed, otec jako vedouc\u00ed z\u00e1sobovac\u00edho skladu. Jako jedin\u00e9mu d\u00edt\u011bti se mu rodi\u010de v\u011bnovali s\u00a0nadstandartn\u00ed p\u00e9\u010d\u00ed. \u00a0Z\u00a0t\u00e9to laskav\u00e9 ale i omezuj\u00edc\u00ed bubliny se vymanil po z\u00e1kladn\u00ed \u0161kole, kdy za\u010dal studovat v\u00a075 km vzd\u00e1len\u00e9m Nymburce na elektrotechnick\u00e9m u\u010dili\u0161ti (1977 \u2013 1982). Zakusil zde nesmysln\u00fd dril, ale rovn\u011b\u017e si vyzkou\u0161el mo\u017enosti, jak syst\u00e9m obej\u00edt a vytvo\u0159it si tak prostor pro osobn\u00ed svobodu. Psal si nap\u0159. nesmysln\u00e9 omluvenky, kter\u00e9 kupodivu byly akceptov\u00e1ny. To ho povzbudilo k\u00a0dal\u0161\u00edmu pokou\u0161en\u00ed limit\u016f. Zlom nastal b\u011bhem povinn\u00e9 vojensk\u00e9 slu\u017eby (1983 \u2013 1984), kdy v\u00a0d\u016fsledku stresu za\u010dal trp\u011bt depresemi a nespavost\u00ed. Po n\u011bkolikadenn\u00ed absenci sp\u00e1nku se dostavily halucinace a mlad\u00fd mu\u017e byl hospitalizov\u00e1n na psychiatrii. Nevhodn\u011b zvolen\u00e1 psychofarmaka jeho stav je\u0161t\u011b zhor\u0161ila. Byla mu diagnostikov\u00e1na simplexn\u00ed schizofrenie, jen\u017e se vyzna\u010duje desocializac\u00ed, uzav\u00edr\u00e1n\u00edm se sama do sebe apod. Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd se tehdy za\u010dal intenzivn\u011b v\u011bnovat samostudiu psychiatrie a medic\u00edny.<\/p>\n

Po vojn\u011b \u0161est let pracoval jako elektromechanik u \u010ceskoslovensk\u00fdch drah. Ve v\u011bku 27 let mu byl p\u0159izn\u00e1n invalidn\u00ed d\u016fchod. P\u0159est\u011bhoval se do Prahy a \u017eivil se jako ukl\u00edze\u010d v\u00a0Dom\u011b m\u00f3dy, prodava\u010d v\u00a0antikvari\u00e1tu, hl\u00edda\u010d v\u00a0galerii Pecka na Vy\u0161ehrad\u011b, mal\u00ed\u0159 c\u00ednov\u00fdch voj\u00e1\u010dk\u016f apod.. P\u0159itahoval ho sv\u011bt v\u00fdtvarn\u00e9ho um\u011bn\u00ed, studoval d\u011bjiny um\u011bn\u00ed, u\u010dil se kreslit. V\u00a0roce 1987 a 1988 se pokou\u0161el o p\u0159ijet\u00ed na Akademii v\u00fdtvarn\u00fdch um\u011bn\u00ed v\u00a0Praze. Pot\u00e9, co podruh\u00e9 neusp\u011bl, zvolil sv\u00e9r\u00e1znou metodu, jak se v\u00fduky na t\u00e9to \u0161kole p\u0159esto \u00fa\u010dastnit – stal se zde modelem a t\u00e9to \u010dinnosti se v\u011bnoval po dobu, jakou by trvala regul\u00e9rn\u00ed studia, t.j. \u00a0\u0161est let. V\u00a0t\u00e9 dob\u011b intenzivn\u011b zdokonaloval sv\u00e9 t\u011blo a pracoval tak\u00e9 na praktick\u00e9 a teoretick\u00e9 \u010d\u00e1sti projektu: studoval d\u011bjiny um\u011bn\u00ed a pot\u00e9 srovn\u00e1val slavn\u00e1 d\u00edla sv\u011btov\u00e9ho v\u00fdtvarn\u00e9ho um\u011bn\u00ed se sv\u00fdm autorsk\u00fdm ztv\u00e1rn\u011bn\u00edm coby model a v\u00a0t\u011bchto pozic\u00edch se nechal vyfotografovat (autorem fotografi\u00ed je Franti\u0161ek Va\u0148\u00e1sek). Na projekt z\u00edskal grant od Centra pro sou\u010dasn\u00e9 um\u011bn\u00ed.

\nThe exhibition was opened by Doc. Ji\u0159\u00ed T. Kotal\u00edk, who at the Academy in 2000 bestowed upon Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd the until then non-existent title \u201cAcademic Model\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd has been talked about in the close circle for years as about a phenomenon in the waters of Czech art and Czech art brut. His work has attracted gallerists in Paris, New York and Tokyo; his works are in famous world collections. In the upcoming months, he will be exhibiting his works at the 57th<\/sup> Biennale of Contemporary Art in Venice and at a solo exhibition with Anna Zem\u00e1nkov\u00e1 at the Cavin-Morris Gallery in New York. In the last fifteen years he has been presented at exhibitions dedicated to art brut and thematic exhibitions at the House at the Stone Bell, MuMo, DOX, and Artinbox Gallery. Even the Czech audience had the opportunity to see some of his famous anatomical drawings. However, the work of Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd is much richer.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

At the exhibition titled: Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd: *13677 +20248, the artist\u2019s first solo exhibition in the Czech Republic, we present his work from the 1990s to the latest works created specifically for this exhibition in 2016 and 2017. We present a peculiar \u201cdiary\u201d in which the artist maps his life as a specific \u201clife concept\u201d. Despite being placed in art brut, Pln\u00fd is in his essence an intellectually complicated conceptual contemporary artist par excellence. Alongside Pln\u00fd\u2019s famous paintings, we also show his photographs, texts, assemblages, collages, and objects.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd (*1961) is nowadays probably the most famous representative of Czech art brut in the world. His works are represented for instance in the collection of Francois Pinault in Paris, in the collection abcd Bruno Decharme, as well as in the gallery Christian Berst, Paris, in the collections of Galerie Cavin\u2013Morris in New York and the Center Pompidou, and others. In the Czech Republic, his work is regularly exhibited at thematic group exhibitions (Museum Montanelli, DOX, Artinbox Gallery, etc.).<\/em><\/p>\n

The exhibition is complemented by photographs of Martin Watch, who portrayed Pln\u00fd as part of the series Jedine\u010dn\u00ed (The Unique). In 2016, he ranked with this photographic set among the finalists of the prestigious FEP FETA Award in Amsterdam.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd (* 1961) was born in \u010cesk\u00e1 L\u00edpa. His parents worked at Czechoslovak Railways \u2013 his mother as an accountant, his father as the head of the supply depot. Being the only child, he was paid extra care by his parents. He escaped this kind but constraining bubble when he finished elementary school and started studying in Nymburk, 75 km away, at an electro-technical apprentice school (1977\u20131982). Here he experienced absurd drill, but also tried out ways how to get around the system and create space for personal freedom. For example, he wrote for himself absurd excuses, which were surprisingly accepted. This encouraged him to test the limits further. A radical change occurred during the compulsory military service (1983\u20131984), when he suffered from depression and insomnia as a result of stress. After a few day absence of sleep, hallucinations occurred and the young man was hospitalized at the psychiatric ward. The inappropriately chosen psychopharmaceuticals made his condition even worse. He was diagnosed with simplex schizophrenia, characterized by desocialization, self-closing, etc. Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd then began to intensively devote himself to self-study of psychiatry and medicine.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After the military service he worked for six years as an electromechanical technician at Czechoslovak Railways. At age 27, he was granted invalidity pension. He moved to Prague and worked as a housekeeper at the Fashion House, a shop assistant in a second-hand bookshop, a guard at the Pecka gallery in Vy\u0161ehrad, a painter of tin soldiers, etc. He was attracted by the world of fine arts, he studied the history of art and learned to draw. In 1987 and 1988 he tried to get accepted into the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. After failing for the second time, he chose a peculiar method of attending classes at this school anyway \u2013 he became a model here, and he engaged in doing so for as long as regular studies would have normally taken, that is six years. At that time, he intensively improved his body and worked on the practical and theoretical parts of the project: he studied art history and then compared the famous works of world art with his own rendition as a model, having himself photographed in these positions (the author of the photographs is Franti\u0161ek Va\u0148\u00e1sek). For the project he obtained a grant from the Centre for Contemporary Art. Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd\u2019s application for granting of a non-existent title of Academic Model\u00a0 was based on the recommendations of many experts, including personalities of the Czech art scene, artists, educators, critics, and doctors. In 1999 his application was approved by the Art Council and in 2000 Doc. Ji\u0159\u00ed T. Kotal\u00edk bestowed this title upon him at the final ceremony at St. Agnes Convent.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In a similar way, Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd systematically worked on other conceptual projects, but this can be described as the most sophisticated and also most physically and time demanding. At the Artinbox Gallery he is publicly presented for the first time ever. Since then, Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd marks all his works by the authorial stamp \u201cAcademic Model\u201d and he values them more than his later anatomical drawings. However, it was these drawings that brought Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd world fame.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Other significant changes in Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd\u2019s life and work was the pregnancy of his partner Lucie, the birth of his son Vincent (2005), the subsequent marriage (2007) and divorce (2012). These and other similar events are dealt with in his \u201canatomical self-portraits\u201d and unconventional journals. At the exhibition we present, among other things, the last collage \u2013 a triptych that refers to the thyroid gland surgery, which the artist underwent in 2006. He had photographic documentation made from the operation and included it in the drawings. This is the last completed work on which the artist was still working on the day of the opening of our exhibition. Unfortunately, it was not possible to exhibit the work for more than a few days, as this drawing was intended for the exhibition at the Cavin\u2013Morris gallery in New York. Subsequently, this triptych was replaced by another one, dedicated to a heart transplant, which this time the artist did not undergo himself \u2013 here he only gave form to his fascination with the possibilities of modern medicine.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In his drawings, at the border of conceptual art and scientific project, Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd breaks the body into thin, horizontally-led sections, in which he meticulously records each of its layers \u2013 the skin, the muscles, the bones, the vascular system, and the individual organs. Into the fine labyrinth of the coloured ink drawings, sometimes covered by layered acrylic painting, he glues clippings from fashion magazines or atlases, but sometimes also \u201cexhibits\u201d of the experiments carried out on his own body. His work demands total active deployment: He applied the medical material with traces of his own blood in the artistic record of the treatment of rabies after being bitten by a stray dog; at another time, he created a year-long calendar from yarns of textile fibres from his belly button, accompanied by detailed records of the factors that might have influenced their \u201cquality\u201d; in another case, he set in his artwork a laboratory bowl with the ashes of his own late parents. Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd\u2019s \u201cassemblages\u201d use different types of view: They combine a horizontal cut with a side view, while some fragments (especially the head or genitals) are dramatically zoomed. The individual works refer to each other and describe in detail the course of important events in the artist\u2019s private life: The birth of his son, the thyroid surgery, the death of his parents… Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd transforms both mental and physical suffering, but also the physically experienced pleasure (a series of erotic toys: Self Made Sex Shop) , into art projects through which he tries to grasp the finality of his own physical existence and control its limits.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition also presents a series of portraits where the artist stitched his face and hands without anaesthesia, so that he could feel the intensity of the slightest movement of his head all over his body, while documenting the whole process in photographs (by Vladim\u00edr \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1nsk\u00fd). The artist returned to these portraits after many years. Last year, he had himself portrayed in the same positions, and then linked the images from both periods in order to map the evolution of his own aging. For Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd, the factor of time is crucial. Each of his works is a sort of diary record, in which there is the beginning, the completion, but also every pause in the work, marked with the exact date, hour and minute. Besides, Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd does not measure the course of his own life in years, but in the number of days he has lived. The name of the exhibition is also derived from this. On the day that Lubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd received from Doc. Ji\u0159\u00ed T. Kotal\u00edk the title of Academic Model, he was 13677 days old. On the day he completed the work on the thyroid drawing and introduced it at our opening, which was once again prefaced by Ji\u0159\u00ed T. Kotal\u00edk, he was 20248 days old.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\nLubo\u0161 Pln\u00fd is one of the portrayed people of Martin Watch\u2019s project. For his project \u201cThe Unique\u201d, he chose several non-standard personalities \u2013 unique not only for their appearance or lifestyle, but mainly for their philosophy of life. The artist tried to capture and reproduce in a way as true to reality as possible the essence of their view of the world and to avoid both positive and negative stylization. In 2016, he ranked with this photographic series among the finalists of the prestigious FEP FETA Award in Amsterdam.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
