Jirí Skála

Jirí Skála studied at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts and lives and works in Prague. He is cofounder of the Etc. Gallery in Prague. His installations, performances, and videos often involve participants in gamelike interactions and draw on his interest in communication. Handwriting Exchange, for example, is an ongoing work in which Skála and strangers become acquainted through a three-month process of learning how to copy each other’s handwriting.
