Expo 2000

Revista Umělec 2000/3

01.03.2000

Lenka Lindaurová | info | en cs

The reasons and objectives for international exhibitions to mainly present the latest achievements in science, technology and industry have been completely exhausted. Therefore, such shows become gigantic Disneylands with panoptic pavilions that use up incredible amounts of money and are, for many individuals, a lucrative commission. One can only surmise what a statistical inquiry among visitors to Hanover would reveal; a lot of them came on a business trip, most of the rest were the weekend consumers of theme parks and supermarkets.
The pavilion exposition barely touches on sobriety, good taste and ingeniousness. It is surprising that most post-communist countries (plus Denmark) seem to feel the need to fill their pavilions with art, but mostly what they go for are various pseudo-artifacts. Yet, even the ”serious” art has no place here. A theme park requires a lighter approach, distance and irony.
The Czech pavilion was definitely one of the more positive moments, designed by D.U.M. architects, as it was clean, modest and nice looking. Nothing positive, however, can be written about the exposition itself.
Romania resolved its pavilion in a witty way as they made a scaffold-like construction and let ivy grow all over it. The Baltic countries’ pavilions were typical for their modesty, yet they are appealing. The Expo’s hot stuff included the expositions by Holland and Switzerland. While the Netherlands presented a liberated project of an open building simulating the layers of the Earth, the Swiss pavilion, designed by architect Zumtora, was based on the presentation of the building itself as it is made of wooden bars that form a labyrinth.
The new century could definitely do without such events and should try and focus on new kinds of nonsense.

Acts, Misdemeanors and the Thoughts of the Persian King Medimon Acts, Misdemeanors and the Thoughts of the Persian King Medimon
There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…
The Top 10 Czech Artists from the 1990s The Top 10 Czech Artists from the 1990s
The editors of Umělec have decided to come up with a list of ten artists who, in our opinion, were of crucial importance for the Czech art scene in the 1990s. After long debate and the setting of criteria, we arrived at a list of names we consider significant for the local context, for the presentation of Czech art outside the country and especially for the future of art. Our criteria did not…
Magda Tóthová Magda Tóthová
Borrowing heavily from fairy tales, fables and science fiction, the art of Magda Tóthová revolves around modern utopias and social models and their failures. Her works address personal and social issues, both the private and the political. The stylistic device of personification is central to the social criticism emblematic of her work and to the negotiation of concepts used to construct norms.…

S.d.Ch, Solitarios y Cultura Periférica (una generación nacida alrededor de 1970)
Josef Jindrák
¿Quién es S.d.Ch? Una persona de muchos intereses –activa en varios campos- la literatura, el teatro, conocida por sus cómics y sus collages en los campos del arte. Un poeta y dramaturgo principalmente. Un solitario por naturaleza y determinación, su trabajo no se encajona en las corrientes actuales. Siempre antepone la enunciación personal, incluso cuando su estructura interna puede volverse…

La pluralización de las definiciones de “madre“ es, a un tiempo, un lugar de represión recrudecida y de liberación potencial.

En el marco de la exposición Artistas en el bosque, los transeúntes podían vislumbrar el destello de su vientre…
