Jan Jedlicka<br />

Il Cerchio / <strong>The</strong> Circle<br />

Maremma 2005-2006<br />

Since 1980 Jan Jedlicka has been traveling regularly to Maremma, a region in southwestern Tuscany, where he works<br />

on a long-term project in which sketches, pigment works, photography, prints, film and video all play a role. This<br />

photographic work was created over the course of a year during which Jedlicka returned every other month to the<br />

countryside with his Hasselblad Super Wide to create a series of 150 black-and-white photographs. <strong>The</strong>se images form<br />

a closed circle and map the changes wrought by time.<br />

Jan Jedlicka, born in Prague in 1944, studied at the Academy of Arts in Prague city. His solo exhibitions include<br />

National Gallery Prague, Kunstverein Freiburg, Prager Burg, <strong>The</strong> University of Brighton Gallery, Museo Cantonale d’arte<br />

Lugano, Josef Albers Museum Bottrop, Centro d’arte moderna e contemporanea La Spezia, Moravian Gallery Brno.<br />

He lives in Zürich.<br />
