GET ALONG WITH WHAT WE HAVE
|
| Jiří Kovanda’s activities in the seventies became a significant pillar of Czech alternative culture. Recently, Kovanda has begun to be recognized abroad, particularly for his personal approach to urban public places; he has been presented at a number of international exhibitions in Europe.
The actions, however, are merely aspects of many stages. In the eighties he painted, drew and, in the… |

IT’S A WAR OUT THERE
|
| As usual, American Independence Day (4th of July), 2004, in Berlin was abound in protests against the U.S.A., but the “Girl-Groups Against Bush” concert at the Mudd Club in East Berlin was the most appealing to me. Bringing together German-Berliners like Electrocute and Berlin-based New Yorkers like Isabella Deluxe 3000—with ten groups overall--the line-up was sweet; though, the real attraction… |

HISTORY DEFEATED THE ART OF DUO VAN DER MIXT
|
| Duo van der Mixt are Cristian Rusu (visual artist, set designer) and Mihai Pop (visual artist, curator). Their association is primarily motivated by a discomfort with clichés, with the readiness of contemporary Romania to adopt stereotypes, accretions of thought stemming from rudimentary political and social discourse. Although they encapsulate bits of (falsified) history, these relics of the… |

NEW FETISHISMS
|
| A New Generation
in Romanian Contemporary Art
The most visible phenomenon on the Romanian contemporary art scene is the occurrence after the year 2000 of a seemingly homogenous young generation, between the ages of twenty and thirty. Indeed, this generation is currently engaged in an active process of defining itself as a group, as a “young generation,” with all associated implications. However… |

BLASPHEMY / EXAMPLES OF ANTI-SOCIAL PHENOMENA IN ART
|
| The only pleasant thing left over from Christianity is the reservation of luxury and democracy. Outside this reservation, there is an exotic world of chaos inhabited by enemies. Probably the best, albeit unintentional caricature of this world concept, is the current film industry. The soiled protagonist, ragged and rain-drenched, is being beaten up by humanoid monsters gone berserk. After he… |

THE BEST KNOWN HACKER

I bestride the swan
Sorriness in my eyes
Devil in my crotch
Everyone passes me by

A Total Goof
Blanka Jakubčíková is a spectre. She has had a professional education, so one would imagine that she is aware of what present-day art practice likes most and likes least. It is not for me to judge, maybe she knows it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t. It… |

SEX, VIOLENCE AND CATHOLICISM
|
| It is the task of an artist to wake sleeping minds, who often condemn those around them, unwittingly, by judging first and understanding second.
A prolific comic book artist, named Mike Diana, is one of those artists. He is the first illustrator in Americas history to get arrested and convicted for his drawings. He is gentle, thoughtful and as considerate as you would want a person to be.

TWIN BED FOR TWO
|
| The Art of David Levine
“It’s exactly what it should be.” Hear that and let it be your soundtrack with David Levine’s drawings. And with this said, you can leave with a sense of closure that tightens the pores of an armored man. Then continue to the next soldier-like drawing for you know what’s just hit you like an arrow in a leg.
Whenever I visit David in his studio things change just ever… |

PRACTICE, THEORY AND EXPOSITION OF ZBYNĚK BALADRÁN
|
| That which is really postmodern, open, plural and liberal is a reality of fictional dynamic structures, and that reality is constantly in flux. (Dušan Třeštík, Konec paradigmatu? In: Mysliti dějiny, Paseka, Praha 1999, p. 67)
In art, as in society and the individual, one can find specific maps. Some lines present something, others are abstract. Some are with segments, others without... We think… |
