The Heysel tragedy in 1985, provides one point of departure for the work exhibited in ‘Saved by an Unseen Crack.’ Marcin DUREK’s autobiographical experiences and fascination with the architecture of spectacle, offer another. From flags to fairy tales to monumental failings, questions of romantic nationalism are put into play in a physical and mental battle. Unlike the sculpture by Patrick Rimoux that commemorates the event (and will soon be destroyed), Dudek’s works do not reference the actors in this incident, but instead structure an artistic field of fear, fanaticism and invented enemies, several of which he appears aware may be himself.
