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.

The editors of Umělec have decided to come up with a list of ten artists who, in our opinion, were of crucial importance for the Czech art scene in the 1990s. After long debate and the setting of criteria, we arrived at a list of names we consider significant for the local context, for the presentation of Czech art outside the country and especially for the future of art. Our criteria did not…
Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism 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.
Magda Tóthová Magda Tóthová

Her works address personal and social issues, both the private and the political. The stylistic device of personification is central to the social criticism emblematic of her work and to the negotiation of concepts used to construct norms.…
