	GO ONLY HALFWAY? AT LEAST THEN YOU ARE HALFWAY THERE.
	To any passer-by one Friday morning last May, the smoke billowing over the roof of Prague’s House at the Stone Bell could have seemed rather frightening. But this gothic monument was not aflame; the smoke was an experiment by Jana Kalinová to create an artificial cloud there, while worried firemen stood by. White gas wafted through a transparent pipe upwards reaching a set of balloons,…

PAS TO THE CIVILIAN ZONE

Production of Contemporary Activities, (Produkce aktivit současnosti -- PAS) dates back to 2000.

	RAFANI 2: THE FUTURE SHOULD BE PLANNED
	It seemed for a moment that Rafani was losing its breath. This Czech art group — which investigates whether and how art can be linked to political ideologies and whether it is possible to carry on a deeper discussion outside of self-promotion — had became its own pastiche. Their tailored uniforms had frayed at the sleeves and their KSČM communist party membership cards were returned with humbug. …

MAREK POKORNÝ: WHO FROM WHERE TO WHERE AND WHO SWITCHES OFF WHOM

The curator and theoretician Marek Pokorný returned after a few years in Rome to the Czech Republic and became curator of the House of the Lords of Kunštát (dům pánů z Kunštátu) in Brno. A year later he left the position to become the director of the Moravian Gallery. Is this change a promise of new opportunities for contemporary art or the end of work well begun? You started profiling Dům…

	ONLY GOOD IDEAS
	NOD Praha, 15 January – 7 February 2004 Ivan Vosecký and Markéta Othová rolled themselves up into one creative ball for the sake of the exhibition Dobrý nápad (A Good Idea). This was the best idea they could have had. The doomed generation pictures we are used to from Vosecký and Othová’s voyeuristic melancholy were mixed into a precise formation of hybrid design, smoggy beauty and consumerist…

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.
