	A HAMPER FULL OF SNAKES
	Dear Friends, in my short opening speech at the Jelení Gallery, I don’t wish to talk about the exhibition in general. It is too varied for that and it would be hard for me to find aspects common to all the works. I’d therefore like to speak about just one of the exhibited images, which can clearly reveal the process of its creation.The painting I’m talking about is entitled A Hamper Full of…

	MIXED MESSAGES
	The expansion of the the global computer network over the past decade has certainly given rise to new art forms, but it has also helped to expand the much older form known simply as mail art. The Internet provided an environment free from institutional and market pressures, and has kicked off new forms of media activism, the same principles mail art was originally based on. An international…

	FILLING THE UNFILLABLE
	The theorist Renata Salecl has noticed a certain preconception whilst lecturing in the West: Western universities invariably expect her to speak primarily about events in the region she is from, meaning Eastern Europe, the former Yugoslavia or Slovenia. The list of relevant topics includes the fall of socialism, post-socialist phenomena, nationalism, and so on.1 It has become a rule of thumb that…

	THE B.K.S.
	on the trail of the 3rd assembly in London / an existential report In January 2001, the secret society B.K.S. (Bude Konec Světa – the End of the World is Coming) convened their third official assembly in London’s Bermondsley neighborhood. Almost no information about this covert meeting leaked out to the general public. What had the results of the meeting been? Might a visit to the venue itself…

"Following 15 years of planning and construction, the ambitious project MuseumsQuartier, a new museum quarter in Vienna, is nearing completion. The beginning of June saw the opening of the Vienna Kunst-halle, which has moved into the neighborhood from its former home in the White Cube on Karlsplatz.

ZCCZ TIP: BARBARIANS

Toilets abroad are precisely the places that Czech tourists describe as inspiring in us a feeling of cultural supremacy. Rumor has it that some people have had to return home prematurely from their working stays in countries with Islamic traditions due to the lack of toilet paper in local toilets. When the Turkish sculptor, Kemal Tufan, and I joked around one day, describing mutual cultural…

THE VENICE BUZZ

This year’s 49th Venice Biennale, directed by Herald Szeemann in his second term in office, utilized the theme “Plateau of Humankind” to show, perhaps, that contemporary art is not concerned only with shock value. In addition to the traditional national presentations at the Giardini pavilions, the Biennale last year opened a new space on the former dock space Arsenale. With its huge capacity, it…

	THE OTHER BIENNALE
	"Touchy-feely, multi-culti, we are one big happy, jolly, global family, and if not, at least we should be. That’s the message of this year’s Berlin Biennale, which under the official motto “Concern, contribution, connectedness” presents the work of mo-re than 49 artists from 31 countries at the Postfuhramt on Oranienburgerstrasse, the Kunst-Werke on Auguststrasse and the S-bahn Bogen in…

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.
