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. Jiří Švestka presented Kateřina Vincourová’s massive installation Malibu Airways, which met with much interest and was sold in the end. The Spanish collector of German origin Helga de Alvear, who had previously bought work by Dan Graham from Jiří Švestka, acquired the piece. Malibu will become part of her collection, which includes Donald Judd, Carl Andre and other lesser-known artists. This sale represents the biggest acquisition of a work in contemporary Czech art. Encouraged by the success, the Jiří Švestka Gallery has decided to adjust the list of artists for the upcoming art forum berlin, presenting works by younger Czech artists: Jiří Černický, Milena Dopitová, Markéta Othová, and Kateřina Vincourová.

There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…

„Man muss die Hand von jemandem dreimal schütteln und der Person dabei fest in die Augen sehen. So schafft man es, sich den Namen von jemandem mit Sicherheit zu merken. Ich hab’ mir auf diese Art die Namen von 5.000 Leuten im Horse Hospital gemerkt”, erzählte mir Jim Hollands. Hollands ist ein experimenteller Filmemacher, Musiker und Kurator. In seiner Kindheit litt er unter harten sozialen…
