HOW A NATURAL BORN SINGER PAINTS
|
| Vladivojna La Chia
She rages on stage in the limelight, belting out her own lyrics in Czech, or in her own private language. The register of her rough voice is interesting. She is also a multimedia artist – she has created a video – and she is the guiding force of the Banana group.
On stage the art is presented mainly with her clothing – her trademark color is red. She also wears a white dress… |

WHAT I SAW AT JAKUB ŠPAŇHEL’S
|
| Jakub Špaňhel, a considerable personality of contemporary Czech painting, studied at AVU in the studio of Jiří David and Milán KnížákFree gestures and color simplification typify Špaňhel’s canvasses, but the less color in them, the more personal energy they radiate, bordering perhaps on obsession. A regular visitor to local exhibitions is probably familiar with his landscapes, church interiors,… |

ATTACK ON THE PATISSERIE
|
| Jan Novotný,
Cosmic Bodies Uninterested in a Burning House
Serpentina cafe, Prague-Letná,
December 2004
At least as far back as the 1960s, fine art has been inseparably bound by space. When he hurled molten lead into a corner, Richard Serra rendered space as an integral aspect of an art work. The peak of that era has past when monumental installations would work with entire galleries and other… |

VOYEURISM FAST AND EASY
|
| Videocards,
Dům pánů z Kunštátu,
Brno,
Nov 11 – Dec 5, 2004
As they gaze into the objective lens of the camera, their faces show no sign of amazement or indignation. Their heads turn towards each other and they continue walking without missing a step. So we have enough time to look at the girls. Any visitor who descended into the basement of the Dům pánů z Kunštátu in Brno between November 11… |

BLACK AND WHITE CLONES
|
| Alena Kotzmanová, Cyclone
December 2004–January 2005
Jelení Gallery, Prague
The work of Alena Kotzmanová (b. 1974) seems to surpass all the postmodern tendencies, excesses and peculiarities, as well as the esthetics of surprise and shock. Nevertheless, it manages to touch in a unique way the introspective visual icon hidden in the depths of the soul.
Already Alena Kotzmannová’s portfolio is… |

| Insiders, Dům pánů z Kunštátu, Brno
Dec. 14, 2004 – Jan. 30, 2005;
Futura Gallery, Prague, Feb. 17 – May 1, 2005
Immediate Context has disappeared - Immediate Contexts have disappeared. The time has come to dig up the bodies and embalm them, belatedly.
The Insiders exhibition presents exquisite works of distinguished artists. Maybe that is for no purpose.
The preparation of the Insiders was… |

BIRTH AND RESURGENCE OF CZECH MODERNISM
|
| Martina Pachmanová’s Unknown Areas of Czech Modern Art: Examined from the Gender Perspective, published in Czech by Argo press, is unique among Czech art history publications. Czech Modernism, the subject of the book, is definitely not among the unexplored chapters of Czech art. Nevertheless, the book proves that previous scholarship has left blank spaces on the imaginary map of this region.
