Yes or No Ivan Mečl | editorial | 01.02.2008
YES OR NO
The exhibit by the activist group, Guma Guar, at the Prague Municipal Gallery was damaged allegedly by a group of unknown iconoclasts, whose subsequent closing is accompanied by conspiracy theories. After the institution’s curator decided to prematurely shut the exhibit down without consulting the artists, the Czech art scene reacted in a rather atypical manner. Artists, whose exhibits had been…
XYZ  All that’s Important ... is Within Your Reach Daniel Grúň | profile | 01.02.2008
XYZ ALL THAT’S IMPORTANT ... IS WITHIN YOUR REACH
In 1997, XYZ formed and descended upon the Bratislava art scene, its roster including Milan Tittel (1966) and Matej Gavula (1972). They have held several independent exhibitions such as XYZ at UBS (1998) (originally as part of a trio including Peter Ondrušek), Opening at the Cyprian Majerník Gallery (2000), XYZWAR at the Priestor Gallery (2001), as well as XYZ in the Prague Display Gallery …
OUT OF IT - We can never stop repeating that art is elsewhere. Life is also elsewhere. Ivan Mečl | theme out | 01.02.2008
OUT OF IT - WE CAN NEVER STOP REPEATING THAT ART IS ELSEWHERE. LIFE IS ALSO ELSEWHERE.
What is it that unites contemporary artists? Stepping back from ones own work, using strategies and understanding the rules of management. If they want to earn a living making art, then they have no other option. The developed cultural world is based on the economy of service and on speculation. The economy is the be all end all, and so artists must become speculators on the commodities market of…
It’s About Illumination, Stupid - the Politics of Art in Bosnia and Herzegovina Damir Arsenijević | illumination | 01.02.2008
IT’S ABOUT ILLUMINATION, STUPID - THE POLITICS OF ART IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
It’s June 24, 2008 and, as we speak, the Sarajevo Center for Contemporary Art (SCCA) is being forced to leave the Sarajevo Academy of Fine Arts and move elsewhere. Why? The inspiration and illumination its hallowed portals have produced thus far is no longer suitable for the venerable building of the Academy of Fine Arts. Instead, a posh lighting shop will illuminate the former SCCA office afresh…
Post-War Dreams from Sarajevo Michal Koleček | illumination | 01.02.2008
POST-WAR DREAMS FROM SARAJEVO
Interview with Šejla Kamerić by Michal Koleček on the occasion of her solo show at Emil Filla Gallery in Ústí nad Labem. Šejla, you currently live in Berlin. Could you describe or compare an artist’s position within “Western” and “Eastern” societies? I was able to move to Berlin thanks to the DAAD Artist in Residency Fellowship I recieved in 2007. My decision to come here was pragmatic, like…
Q: Against the Current Lenka Vítková | profile | 01.02.2008
Q: AGAINST THE CURRENT
I am constantly striving to arrive at the moment of zero in art. Neither plus nor minus. Neither too much nor too little. IKW Whilst I have been laboring over these words, Igor Korpaczewski has been keeping busy. When I first met Igor to look over some prints, Korpaczewski was exhibiting in the Resetting show Prague’s City Library gallery. At the time when the text was supposed to come out,…
Stella Maris KW | art project | 01.02.2008
STELLA MARIS
I first met Vera at a party. We went to another room to escape from the noise. It was dark, lit up only by a window, a shining valley of streets in the depths below it. We sat down close to that window, above the abyss, and there Vera told me about captain J. and the boat Stella Maris, about the shipwreck and the captain’s wife Timela, about the addictive desire for beauty, harmony and freedom…

THC REVIEW AND THE CONDEMNED PAST
We are the fifth global party! Pítr Dragota and Viki Shock, Fragmenty geniality / Fragments of Charisma, May and June 1997. When Viki came to visit, it was only to show me some drawings and collages. It was only as an afterthought that he showed me the Czech samizdat publication from the late 1990s, THC Review. When he saw how it fascinated me, he panicked and insisted that THAT creation is…
Couch Potato by Trade Viki Shock | out - story | 01.02.2008
COUCH POTATO BY TRADE
(dedicated to Filip Příhoda) Perhaps you’ll agree with me when I say that it’s no fun being unemployed in today’s society. And if you’re not college-educated, then not at all. A person is registered at the labor office, where more often than not he is offered some dubious job and receives state welfare payments only in amounts that prevent him from having to live on the street or die of hunger.…
