Artist: Jan Pfeiffer

The exhibition with the title Search for Happiness is a seemingly simple metaphor or cliché conceived as a physical spatial experience in gallery space. The quest for happiness, joy and fulfilment is like an endless journey that has its ups and downs. In the drawing installation, Jan Pfeiffer also works with the concept of expected future events and the struggle not to be dominated by visions of the future, but to focus on the possibility of being here and now.The exhibition The Search for Happiness by Czech intermedia artist Jan Pfeiffer and Czech independent curator Lenka Sýkorová is based on their long-term collaboration and mutual inspiration. The exhibition is created for the exhibition space Space C, Spazju Kreattiv. The installation is preceded by a video performance, a collaborative effort between artist Jan Pfeiffer and students from the Department of Arts, Open Communities and Adult Education at the Faculty of Education of the University of Malta. The output of Lenka Sýkorová’s pedagogical and curatorial cooperation with partner institutions FAD UJEP in Ústí nad Labem, Faculty of Education Charles University in Prague and the Faculty of Education of the University of Malta will serve as part of teaching at the FUD in the form of blended learning.
