THE HORSE HOSPITAL: Colonnade, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 1JD

An extravagant Venetian Baronet fights boredom and contempt of the morbid urbanism and bourgeois constraints of his native city through various excesses assisted by his lackey Lubomír. He finally opts to experience a spiritual death, which is facilitated by the director of The National Theatre of the Mrštík Brothers in Brno and executed by the Angel of Spiritual Death and the Devil without Attributes. But things turn out differently than the baronet imagined…

This highly imaginative playful drama filled with linguistic virtuosity, ironic humour and cruelly accurate deconstructions of social and cultural hypocrisies will be presented in London for the first time in English as a staged reading for four actors.

Author: S.d.Ch.
Adaption: Eva Daníčková
Cast: Cristina Catalina, Christopher Holt and others
70 minutes

Czech author Miloslav Vojtíšek, aka S.d.Ch. is an award-winning playwright, artist and writer. From visual art across to the written word his work is distinct in its sarcasm, humour and boundless imagination, making him both a unique phenomenon and enfant terrible of the Czech cultural scene.

The reading is accompanied by a launch of the author’s new book A Makeshift Imitatio Christi, published in English by Divus and a solo exhibition of collages and comics at the Divus gallery in London.

In collaboration with Czech Centre London. Supported by TECHO, Pilsner Urquell and the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

We’re constantly hearing that someone would like to do some joint project, organize something together, some event, but… damn, how to put it... we really like what you’re doing but it might piss someone off back home. Sure, it’s true that every now and then someone gets kicked out of this institution or that institute for organizing something with Divus, but weren’t they actually terribly self…

“La persona debe sacudir tres veces la mano de alguien mientras mantiene fijamente la mirada en sus ojos. Así es como es posible memorizar el nombre de una persona con certeza. De ésta forma es como he recordado los nombres de las 5000 personas que han estado en el Horse Hospital”, me dijo Jim Holland. Holland es un experimentado cineasta, músico y curador. En su infancia, sufrió al pasar por…

There’s 130 kilos of fat, muscles, brain & raw power on the Serbian contemporary art scene, all molded together into a 175-cm tall, 44-year-old body. It’s owner is known by a countless number of different names, including Bamboo, Mexican, Groom, Big Pain in the Ass, but most of all he’s known as MICROBE!… Hero of the losers, fighter for the rights of the dispossessed, folk artist, entertainer…

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.
