Over the past year, Mancuska has abandoned the principle of the handicraft production of his artefacts, which used to determine a priori the form of his work. This do-it-yourself aspect was not merely a reference to social practices in our region (where people were actually forced to make things themselves, since they couldn`t buy them ? They simply didn’t exist), but the primary motivation of this process was to bring the production of the ephemeral artefact close to the body, senses and emotions. (…)
Mancuska’s latest work continues in this direction ? In his installations using rubber or a stretched-out chain of text, normal intellectual categories of perception are confronted with the viewer’s sensory perception of a specific space.
