IMAGE YOUR DESIRE

For a while it seemed as if everything imaginable was happening at Universal Space NoD in Prague, that is, before the government inexplicably decided to shut it down. But before they could padlock the door, from 27–30 March the Swedish/Czech production of A Mantelpiece — A Story for the Eye by the Blackstone groups artfully cluttered the backroom of the building with their floor-to-ceiling live…

PARTY IN VIENNA

"Following 15 years of planning and construction, the ambitious project MuseumsQuartier, a new museum quarter in Vienna, is nearing completion. The beginning of June saw the opening of the Vienna Kunst-halle, which has moved into the neighborhood from its former home in the White Cube on Karlsplatz. The building that had been home to the Kunsthalle since 1992 will be reconstructed, wrapped in…

ZCCZ TIP: BARBARIANS

Toilets abroad are precisely the places that Czech tourists describe as inspiring in us a feeling of cultural supremacy. Rumor has it that some people have had to return home prematurely from their working stays in countries with Islamic traditions due to the lack of toilet paper in local toilets. When the Turkish sculptor, Kemal Tufan, and I joked around one day, describing mutual cultural…

THE VENICE BUZZ

This year’s 49th Venice Biennale, directed by Herald Szeemann in his second term in office, utilized the theme “Plateau of Humankind” to show, perhaps, that contemporary art is not concerned only with shock value. In addition to the traditional national presentations at the Giardini pavilions, the Biennale last year opened a new space on the former dock space Arsenale. With its huge capacity, it…

MORI FINDS DIRECTOR

The Japanese construction tycoon, Minoru Mori, cut a deal in May with Moderna Museet director David Elliot, who will become the head of the planned Mori Art Museum at the Mori Art Center in Tokyo. In six years Elliot was able to turn the Stockholm-based museum of modern art into one of Europe’s most respected institutions. (During his tenure, incidentally, the museum organized a major exhibition…

WINDOW GALLERY

The Prague Window Gallery recently presented photographs by the young British artist Luke Gottelier, who was singled out in 1998 for the important exhibition Surfacing at the ICA. We can find a forerunner of his ambiguous photographic treatment of common themes in Ele-vage de Poussiere (Dust Bree-ding), the combined work from 1920 by Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, which consists of Ray’s shot of the…

BLACK SWINE ATTACKS

David Černý (a.k.a. The Black Swine), that famously scandalous artist — forever scorned by decent citizenry — has shown once again that he’s got something ”up his sleeve.” He has succeeded in smuggling his mostly buried statue of a pink tank into Bohdaneč Spa, which has even enraged our stoic, stone-faced Premier. The monument celebrates the departure of the red cavalry from our pictures-que…

ART RACES

This year’s art competitions are entering their final phases in a number of European countries. The Turner Prize finalists were announced in London at the end of May. A jury in Bratislava will make public its own winner on June 20, and by then Pra-gue will have just about short-listed its candidates for the Chalupecký Award. The Slovak art competition, previously known as the Tonal Award, has now…

SCOTT`S FILM COLUMN

"It may seem fitting that a major American studio, New Line Cinema, has decided to shoot a vampire film, Blade 2: Bloodlust, the sequel to 1998’s Blade, in Prague. The cult of the mystical and mysterious in Prague has always drawn tourists, and continues to do so. Yet the Hollywood-based producers of Blade 2 are cashing in on an altogether different mystique. This new cinematic aesthetic eschews…

Slavka Kneppo:

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...

Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
