Project of Czech Centres and EUNIC combines texts of contemporary European literature with the original presentation in the unusual location in a unique cultural experience. This year in 18 venues around Letná, Holešovice and Bubeneč. For Divus Prager Kabarrett is prepared selection from the Lituanian novel Ričardas Gavelis Memories of a young man in the interpretation by Jaromír Nosek.

Ričardas Gavelis is a Lithuanian writer, playwright, and essayist; specifically known for creating intellectual novels and starting a new type of Vilnius mythology. The Memoirs of a Young Man is considered to be his best work. Composed of letters sent by the main character to his friend from the hereafter – “Teacher” – letter by letter, the novel reveals the effect of this relationship on the protagonist, and bares evidence to the struggle of one’s self-realization while growing up in Soviet Lithuanian. The uniform structure of the work is often enlivened by the letters addressed to such historical figures as Karl Marx or Nietzsche.

Le Dernier Cri and the black penis of Marseille

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…

	My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution
	An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the “scandalous” realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.

	Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism
	Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.

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.
