Astral Dust Astral is the first solo exhibition by Czech artist Matyáš Chochola in Berlin, held at Grimmuseum from November 22 November to January 31, 2016. In his artistic practice, Chochola combines contemporary influences of the Internet culture and computer animation with contrasting imagery of shamanistic and spiritual experiences. His sculptures and installations are characterized by antagonistic forms that exploit a range of materials - wood, glass, rubber, ceramics, tin, feathers and stone. They connect abstract forms and everyday objects, creating as a whole a harmonious chaos.

Topics of tribal cultures, totemic animals and rituals guide through the exhibition, while performances by Chochola himself as well as czech artists, performers and musicians, invited by the curator Jen Kratochvil, create new rhythmicized and performative scenes within the space.
