Gineco (Gynaecium)
Two of the recurring themes in Paloma Castello's work converge again in Gineceo (Gynaeceum): an exquisite femininity and her fascination with the ancient world. However, far from the exoticism of her previous forays, on this occasion the encounter takes place in the domestic and everyday. Hence, surely, her ceramic experimentation: nine central pieces dedicated to a peculiar group of divine women.
Conceptually, Paloma takes us inside the house. The portraits of her characters welcome us in the long corridor that leads to the women's room, the gynaikôn, from which this exhibition takes its name. Although the women are absent, their presence is manifested by the ceramic types that best represent them. We find amphoras, hydriai, kraters, a psykter (consecrated to Artemis) and a very special oinochoe (with the face of Calypso). Specialists have failed to agree on whether any essentially feminine ceramic utensils existed in the ancient world; however, all of the above were linked in a particular way to women, who were in charge of collecting water, were providers and caregivers, and in their dark interiors created and preserved life. Although women were often the protagonists in the decoration of these vessels, their perspective was completely absent; they were always represented in terms of a man, as daughters, wives, mothers, or widows. In Castello’s gynoecium, however, their faces, separated from their stories, have been placed at the center. This gynoecium celebrates a horizontal coexistence between the Olympian goddesses Artemis and Hera and the agrarian Ceres, the wild nymphs, the city-dwelling Hestia, and the fatal Calypso and Circe. Therefore, although the style of the ancient ceramic pieces is a reliable mechanism for their periodization, Castello’s women, newly immortalized in her vibrant vitrified painting, join together in an anachronistic continuum. The chromatic transfer is exquisite and surprising; in this show, the typical contrast between the red figures and the black ceramic in the materiality is carried out through the use of strong colors and silkscreen drawings. Paloma also avoids the cliché of placing femininity in the bathroom; there are no lekythos, alabastrons, or aryballos (containers for perfumes or ointments) here.
Certainly, Paloma's Neoclassical is sober, measured, stylized, silent in its stridency. There are no crowd scenes, prolific decorations, or naturalist portrayals. Only a woman. White, red, black, and silver profiles emphasize the character’s features. Eclecticism that is chromatic, iconographic (ceramic, sculptural, numismatic), and even cultural (Greek and Roman) constructs a feminine gaze, outstandingly elegant, classical in the simplicity of its forms, neoclassical precisely in that it is through the eyes of women that the scene in this very particular gynaecium is revealed.

- Contemporary Glass Vase by Tadeas Podracky from the Series “The Metamorphosis”By Tadeas PodrackyLocated in Barcelona, ESTadeas Podracky Vase From the series “The Metamorphosis” Manufactured by Tadeas Podracky Produced in exclusive for side Gallery Prague, 2021 Mixed media, plastic, wood, textile, foam, glass Measurements 65 cm x 70 cm x 92 H cm 25,6 in x 27,5 in x 36,2 H in Edition Unique Piece Concept The Metamorphosis collection seeks to enhance the emotional bond to our surrounding environment. During the Coronavirus outbreak Podracký returned to Prague his home town and spent a couple of months in a quarantine in his studio there. Access to materials was minimal but he turned this handicap into a research opportunity and started to work only with material found around the studio or that were easy to access, such as wood, textiles, trash such as old car parts, old ceramic pieces or broken glass sheets. Tadeáš realized that these materials had a certain authenticity and so began reevaluating the way he approached the materiality, challenging himself to dis-acknowledge deeply rooted principles of formal design, interrupting established practices of conventional construction methods. The designer was seeking the authenticity of expression and changed his design methodology based on the intuitive use of materials and emotional decisions regarding structure, shape and the construction process. The aim was to let the object grow through his hands by gluing and combining different elements, reminiscent of the process of a bird...Category
