	MAKING IT AT ART BASEL
	The Jiří Švestka Gallery in Prague achieved something quite phenomenal at this year’s Art Basel. The gallery succeeded at attaining the closely observed Art Statements’ section. Out of 240 applying galleries only 27 were selected to present a project by a single young artist.

	“ALL CLEAN AIR AND OCEAN”
	"When the Norweigian theorist Ina Blom was asked in this year’s first issue of NU magazine to say how the collapse of the dichotomy between the center and the periphery revealed itself in the Nordic region, she recalled the design of the poster and catalogue that had initiated the “Nordic Miracle” back in 1998 for the exhibition Nuit Blanche. The images of Eskimos and igloos played with the…

	TURNER PRIZE 2000
	The selections for this year’s Turner Prize is surprising not only because the nominees include, after a long time, two painters, but also because only one of the four finalists was born in Britain. The committee’s chair and Tate director, Sir Nichalas Serot, claims that the selections represent the contemporary scene in all its variety and naturally include artists that only work in Britain.…

	HOW THE WEST HAS WON AND LOST
	Edward Weldon, one of the ten artists presented at the exhibition How the West Has Won and Lost at the British Council Window Gallery in Prague, said, ”most of what has ever been made is rubbish that wants burning or throwing in the sea. We need to start looking at things properly…” The exhibition itself supported this witty remark by the strategic selection of artists whose various works…

	THE LAST HUNT
	Though the Danish artist Peter Land has till now filmed his videos almost exclusively in abstract interiors, intentionally ridding them of any context of place or time, he places the story of the main character of his latest work, Lake, exhibited along with twelve photographs in Klosterfelde in Berlin, into an idyllic forest landscape. In the video, Land strolls through the forest, dressed in a…

FEATURE PHOTOGRAPH

When Jeff Wall decided to take a black & white photograph entitled Housekeep-ing in 1996 of a hotel maid leaving a bedroom, he didn’t use an actual employee of a hotel but a hired actress instead, who only played the role of a maid. As Wall stated, he hired her for a longer period of time so she could be more convincing in her role. Wall’s approach represents a certain progressive use of film…

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.
