GET RID OF YOURSELF
|
| Will I suffer from depressions? Will I apply to leave the country? Will I commit suicide, or will I go on just like I do now? Artists must ask themselves these questions when they realize that they live in a politically oppressive state. At least this is the opinion of curator Frank Motz, who in recent years observed first hand the sweeping changes in the United States. As a fellow of Whitney… |

KNUT ASDAM

| Simon Sheikh: A recurrent theme in your work has been the usage, representation and perhaps even psychology of architecture. On the one hand you seem interested in the surface of buildings, their reflections but also deferrals of gazes, of desires and usages, and on the other hand you seem committed to the everyday, to other practices in other spaces, often connected to the apparently invisible,… |

NAKED IN POST-SOVIET ARMENIA
|
| Performance art has generally played an interesting role in contemporary Armenian art. Nearly every artist here has explored this sphere for themselves. Nowadays Azat Sargsyan, also known for his frequent travel, is probably the most devoted representative of this live genre in contemporary Armenian art.
In one performance made for the show After the Wall (1999), and repeated for Sao Paolo… |

STOKER’S LONG FINGER SHADOWS
|
| These days people most often speak about artist Michal Pěchouček in the superlative. His talent is (suddenly or according to expectation — this is for each to decide) mature. Each step will therefore be observed with care. But let’s review what Michal Pěchouček has going for him: he has not gone the extra mile to curry public favor outside art territory; he is not the victim of quackish acts of… |

TEHCHING HSIEH – ONE LIFE PERFORMANCE
|
| Performing the Self When it come to challenging life values, a more compact, clear, genuine, and universal example in the field of performance art cannot be found. The work of Tehching Hsieh is a manifestation of ultimate human freedom, as solid as marble. His art deals with the most powerful elements at play in life, while at the same time touching on the most intimate subjects. Modern art has… |

PERFORMANCE OF MACHINES AND PEOPLE IN THE ONLINE ENVIRONMENT
|
| “The internet is actually one big, permanent performance.”We usually associate performances and happenings with the “real” world, whether it is with the physical body in body-art, with landscape in land-art, or some other type of individual and collective action in public space. These interventions disrupt social practices, rituals or regimes at work, and they often take the form of protest or an… |

RED, YELLOW AND BLUE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
|
| IIn the vestibule of a large hotel in Tirana where, in the end, we did not stay, I noticed a poster on a tourist board with the attractive slogan “Albania: The Last Secret.” It accosted us because we had no desire to see the sights of a country that had weathered the ravages of Enver Hoxha. We were here to find out what was happening at Tirana’s second biennale. The patron of the first biennale… |

THE WALKING STAFF, OR A REPORT FROM AN ALBANIAN SALT WALK
|
| Z-topos: LIBERATING WALKI haven’t read Sir Thomas Moore. What does the letter “U” in the word Utopia mean? If it comes from “universalis” — then utopia means Universal place. A place of universal order. As representation of the idea of a universal solution, as product of the idea of the possibility of universal description, universal knowledge, of the possibility of embracing universal knowledge.… |

I HAD TO EDIT MYSELF A BIT (INTERVIEW WITH PETRA VARGOVÁ)
|
| How did you start working with new media?
I started in the studio of conceptual tendencies with Miloš Šejn. I spent a year there, and I liked it, but right in the first year I received the studio prize and that’s probably what chased me away. I wanted to go somewhere where I wouldn’t have such an easy life, and so I went to Knížák’s [ed.: Milan Knížák is the controversial head of the National… |

|
| Words Are Not Only Hot AirLenka Klodová: A place of pilgrimage — NeratoviceRoughly two years ago (Dec. 1, 2001), in the Czech town of Neratovice, near where Mánesova and Benešova streets cross, up on a six-meter-high clay embankment that runs between the highways, paths and playgrounds, a sculpture was erected. Several massive three-meter handmade sandstone blocks were mounted on a concrete… |
