Interview with Luis Camnitzer Drew Martin | 01.02.2007
INTERVIEW WITH LUIS CAMNITZER
Umelec, like other art magazines, discusses and reproduces art. In fact, the only thing that is original content is the writing for the magazine as well as the layout. The writing is diverse and timely and the images are of good quality but what affect does this mediation and interpretation have on us? How does verbalizing something visual, in different languages, and printing a second generation…
DSCLAIMER: NOTES ON THE DEATH OF THE AMERICAN ARTIST Guillermo Gómez-Peňa | j'acusse | 01.02.2007
DSCLAIMER: NOTES ON THE DEATH OF THE AMERICAN ARTIST
People ask me all the time: Is La Pocha Nostra (my performance troupe) being censored in the USA? Tired of silence and diplomacy, with my heart aching and my political consciousness swelling, I now choose to speak. As a child in Mexico, I heard adults whispering about blacklists, and those who named names. My older brother, Carlos, was involved in the 1968 movimiento estudiantil, and several of…
Symbolic Dislocation César Martinéz | recipes | 01.02.2007
SYMBOLIC DISLOCATION
The subject of cannibalism has held various meanings and cultural connotations throughout history. Many diverse disciplines have approached its study and interpretation, tackling its origins and functions from different points of view. Since 1993, artist Cesar Martinez Silva (Mexico City, 1962) has been carrying out a series of actions called perforMANcenas,* performances related to the subject…
Mexican ( and Mexican) Artist in Prague - RIFAMOS! or Multicultural Lesson No.1 Tony Ozuna | review | 01.02.2007
MEXICAN ( AND MEXICAN) ARTIST IN PRAGUE - RIFAMOS! OR MULTICULTURAL LESSON NO.1
Mexican (and Mexican-American) artists seldom have exhibits in Prague, but recently there has been a surge due to some group shows. At the abcd exhibition, “Art Brut,” there was the stunning work of Martin Ramirez (1895-1963), who was born in Jalisco, Mexico but lost his mind in America and died in a mental institution in northern California, and the overlooked Consuelo “Chelo” Gonazalez…
IT IS FUN TO BE BOHEMIAN - A video-documentary project about the Pilsen quarter in Chicago Michal Kindernay a Lenka Dolanová | 01.02.2007
IT IS FUN TO BE BOHEMIAN - A VIDEO-DOCUMENTARY PROJECT ABOUT THE PILSEN QUARTER IN CHICAGO
“So much coal everywhere!” said Navrátil, looking at the huge piles by the railway and down by the port. “I would say so!” nodded Pícha when the newcomer commented on one of the great things about Chicago. “That’s the factories, with so many engineers! And that is the sugar refinery.” He pointed at the huge, thirteen-floor building. “The tallest factory in the world. Many Czechs work there. And…
Politics of Friendship Lenka Vítková | patronage | 01.02.2007
POLITICS OF FRIENDSHIP
The Politics of Friendship exhibition at the Šternberk Gallery featured five works that focused on interventions into the public space. These works were presented in various forms of documentation. All the works have been represented before and some even together; what is remarkable and noteworthy is the manner of presentation. March 20 – April 4, 2007 When a process leads to an artwork as…
Pash* Jiří Ptáček | new faces | 01.02.2007
PASH*
To write about Pash* is to write about a generation, born in the mid-80s, that has only recently begun to change the shape in the Czech Republic of what this magazine calls visual culture. Pash* was born in Prague in 1984, and studies photography at the FAMU (Film and Television Academy of Prague). He rarely works in film, preferring instead to create street art, his series of colorful posters…
Daniela Baráčková Jiří Ptáček | new faces | 01.02.2007
DANIELA BARÁČKOVÁ
At the end of last year Daniela Baráčková fell prey to the cultural gutter press when her former teacher, Jiří David, pointed out similarities between her video and another project, entitled Replaced, by Barbora Klímová. Baráčková’s work is a record of a busy New York street on which Baráčková is seen stretching out her arms—just like the artist Jiří Kovanda three decades earlier in Prague. This…
LUCHA LIBRE - Professional wrestling - More real than reality Héctor Villarreal | wrestling | 01.02.2007
LUCHA LIBRE - PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING - MORE REAL THAN REALITY
What is Professional Wrestling? Publicists often describe it as a spectacle-sport. Anthropologists may speak of it as a mythic drama between the forces of good and evil, where the values of society are played out by heroes and villains, who sometimes even double as cultural idols. Political scientists would perhaps remind us of the words of the Roman poet Juvenal, who criticized the masses for…
We are your future Alena Boika | report | 01.02.2007
WE ARE YOUR FUTURE
This decisive statement was issued just prior to the opening of the Second Moscow Biennale (March 1 – April 1, 2007) by a group of Latin American and Chinese artists presented by curators Ethan Cohen and Juan Puntes. The other Biennale projects had been known long before; but this one, with its name and participants, seemed something of a sensation for anyone following news of Moscow’s “big…
