PERIFERIC BIENNIAL. COMMONOPOLY IN THE ARTSCENE
|
| The business. The pleasure.
From outside the Romanian art scene, one could observe that the country benefits from a developed art infrastructure similar to that of any Western country.

BEAUTY ON THE BOTTOM, IN BYTOM - EXGIRLS’ BAD NEWS

PETRA HEROTOVÁ
|
| Petra Herotová was born in 1980 and since 2004 has been studying in the intermedia and conceptual studio of Jiří David at Prague’s VŠUP.
Trying to define the key subejcts of Petra’s work, we can use words like “communication,” “family,” “identity.” But that is so general that we should add at least three more concrete indications: “screwdriver,” “smilies” and “daddy.” What comes out of this? … |

COPYRIGHT
|
| The festival of contemporary art Tina B. was supposed to be the most prestigious action of this summer. Visiting it I recalled my old wish to award anti-prizes in visual art just like in any other field. Tina B. would be in the running for the Fiasco of the Year.
Odd and even years
Tina B. is a fictitious artist and an acronym at the same time: This Is Not Another Biennale. In the Czech… |
