A dead-serious manifesto of old pricks

Aware that, considering all our previous actions and our age, there is little that can discredit us more. So in a dead-end situation, but conscious.

We think:

That nothing will be the way it used to be. That the state of things is considerably more serious than the most serious of estimates. There is no sense in talking about these things.

When we’re happy, our joy is a mere shadow of the hapiness. Our laugh is an absent-minded hysteric grimace. Our humor is embarrassing because… it just is. We do not like, and we do not love. We are weeds of skepticism, irony and scorn.

With all responsibility that has been always denied to us, we swear:

That what we are, we’ll remain in the long run. We will hurt our friends and those dear to us. We will press to tears those that love us. We belittle everything positive and sully everything beautiful. We bring ourselves to even worse state than we’re in now. All means of salvation and offers of help we’ll use against ourselves.

That should be enough.

	My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution
	An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry.

	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…

“A person must shake someone’s hand three times while gazing intently into their eyes. That’s the key to memorizing their name with certainty. It is in this way that I’ve remembered the names of 5,000 people who have been to the Horse Hospital,” Jim Hollands told me. Hollands is an experimental filmmaker, musician and curator. In his childhood, he suffered through tough social situations and…

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.
