B. Holub:
"The Blue Frog Society | A Habitat Without Territory";
Personal exhibition; organised by: Czech Center, curator: J. Andel; New York, 2011-03-22 - 2011-06-10.

The Blue Frog Society claims a new habitat, "a habitat without
territory," not just as an idea, but as a messenger of a new future.
By way of an imaginary new species, Holub́s project addresses the
issues of territory and habitat that go to the very foundation of
the dominant socio-economic system, invoking the tradition that
started with Hans Haacke's Shapolsky et al. Manhattan Real Estate
Holdings, A Real Time Social System, as of May 1, 1971, which still
haunts the Guggenheim Museum located a few blocks from the Window
on Madison.
Holub́s project takes a different direction by raising the question
of habitat in relation to our values, and thus foregrounding the
interconnectedness of nature, culture and economy and our vital
investment in it.
