The aim of the 4AM association is to create an educational and experimental platform for contemporary architecture and media art, which is still missing in Brno as well as in the Czech Republic. The intention is also to offer a open space for information on contemporary arts accessible to general public via publications, databases, exhibitions and lectures in space of 4AM kabinet and media lab. It serves as an area for architects and students and their creative work and experiments within international workshops or happenings and for other civic associations or organizations focused on city activism and urban public policy.

KILL YOUR IDOL / ZABIJ SVÉHO FUCHSE: PSYCHOANALÝZA SOUČASNÉ BRNĚNSKÉ ARCHITEKTURY
17. 1. - 24. 2. 2012
The title of the exhibition is a paraphrase of Freud’s imperative statement “kill your father”, by which this founder of psychoanalysis illustrated the moment in the psychological development of a human being influenced by close family and social relations and ties. According to Freud, healthy personality growth and development is conditioned by the existence of a substantial father figure – an idol. This figure should be such a powerful rival that overpowering him must mean strengthening and enforcement of the son – an apprentice – with the subsequent achievement of independence of such a son.
The exhibition KILL YOUR IDOL / ZABIJ SVÉHO FUCHSE aims to apply the view and methodology of psychoanalysis on the process of architectural work of five architects from the city of Brno and their conscious inclination towards general principles and patterns. Like in psychoanalysis itself, in the exhibition the most important role is played by interviews that are structured by identical questions. Those questions uncover the specific nature of the process of artistic work of each architect, their conscious sources of inspiration, outstanding personalities of teachers, spiritual idols, relationships to history and theory of architecture, to art and literature, they touch upon one’s obsession on the actual buildings and their future and on the possibility and lack of ability to define the important architectural qualities. The images of actual architectural designs and of the realized buildings, intertwined with the interviews of the architects, indicate the manner in which the above reality is demonstrated and the extent to which the general platform is reflected within the realization of the designs.
The Exhibition KILL YOUR IDOL took place in the Gallery of Architecture/4AM/ in the city of Brno from January 17 2011 until February 24 2012. The Czech title of the exhibition refers to the personality of Bohuslav Fuchs who ranked among the most important representatives of functionalist architecture of the city of Brno and whose buildings have, similarly to functionalist forms, an unavoidable influence on the architectural works and design of architects of the city of Brno. The interviews include questions on the specific aspects of the Brno scene and environment. The architectural solution of the exhibition in 4AM was delivered by Peter Stec, a Slovak architect, who proposed an installation formed by a grid of conic sanctuaries devoted to individual ateliers, the interior of which referred to the principles of their artistic and architectural work. For the purposes of 13th Biennale of Architecture a virtual presentation of the exhibition consisting of video interviews with the architects will be presented.

STANDUINO 20. 3. - 15. 5. 2012
Martin Baar, Ondřej Homola, Václav Peloušek, Ondřej Merta (CZ)
4AM / Gallery of Architecture served as an exhibition space and media laboratory where local Do It Yourself scene will be presented – original student platform Standuino. Its activities were inspired by the works of musician and FaVU pedagogue Stanislav Filip and by the specific phenomenon – kludging. In the exhibition, Václav Peloušek and Ondřej Merta will present a remake of Stanislav Filip’s installation User interface (Uživatelský interface), they will lead the workshops of making your own sound / video synthesizers and together with Stanislav Filip, they will lecture a workshop focused on blasting off the transistors and other electronic components and the physicality of these occurrences. Part of their author presentation will be also interventions in the public space, establishing of the pirate television broadcast or the device emitting Standuino platform datasheets into the universe through photon pulses of wave length 650 nanometers.
„We will construct and introduce prototypes of devices that allow analytical observation of their digital and electronic principles in the modernistic sense of word, as for example relation between the carrier (electronics) and the essence (digitality) or analysis of artist-kludger gestures. Standa Filip is helping us to put the vision into reality. He is unique persona in our environment because he has studied physics and he has experience with constructing musical instruments, so he is able to understand the nature of electronics and at the same time, he can naturally think about it in the artistic context.“ (Václav Peloušek, Ondřej Merta)

ASKING ARCHITECTURE (VENICE) // exhibition you can talk to
This year’s exhibition in the Czech and Slovak Pavilion at the 13. International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia will belong to the project Asking Architecture, which presents more than 18 artists and creative groups from the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic. The exhibition project of the rese arch platform will be opened on August 27, 2012. An unconventional installation relies solely on virtual and aug-mented reality and reveals itself only after the visitor makes a step towards a collateral communication with the exhibited projects and the artists themselves
4AM Forum for Architecture and Media in the Czech and Slovak Pavilion at the 13. International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia presents two projects: KILL YOUR IDOL and COMPACT CITY
