Roman Ondak

Wish We Were Here

Galerie Martin Janda is pleased to present Roman Ondak's fifth solo exhibition, Wish We Were Here, from 12th April until 1st June 2024.

It seems only right that postcards are a recurring conceit within Roman Ondak’s practice. For almost three decades, the artist has carried on a stubborn correspondence with the history of art, interweaving references to the contemporary canon within his own investigation into the porous borders of reality and representation. But his is a practice that willfully confuses here’s and there’s, conflating sites with souvenirs to produce objects-as-experiences and experiences-as-objects.

Roman Ondak, *1966 in Zilina (SK), lives and works in Bratislava (SK).
