DON’T BE A PRISONER OF YOUR OWN WORLD

This past February, a symposium was held at Prague‘s Academy of Fine Arts (AVU) not only as a forum to discuss the neglected state of the Czech Republic‘s foremost centre of higher education in the arts, but also as a call for concrete steps towards its reform. At roughly the same time, a conference was called in neighboring Slovakia to bring attention to the parochial, backward Slovak National…

	RESIGNATION AND OTHER TEXTS
	A Hieratic Story Almost every day, but in mid-winter for the most part, innumerable flocks of naked women and naked men almost darken the grey winter morning while flying high above my house. Usually around ten AM, I see them coming from Dedinje, flying towards the confluence of the Sava and the Danube. In the evening, at dusk, as if obeying some primeval natural order, their flocks fly across…

	THE SPIRIT THAT RETURNS
	Metaphysical ambitions in culture have begun surfacing, also amongst young Norwegian artists. In recent years a burgeoning attraction to irrational phenomena has been noticeable, and certain parts of the art scene are showing conspicuous interest in spirituality and metaphysics, often dystopically shaded. This is also reflected in commercial culture. Such an approach to art stands in stark…

DIRTY PICTURES---RATED XXX

I was once in a pseudo soft-porn movie, but just as an extra. It‘s called Blue Movie and of course it’s not Warhol’s film of the same name. It was a B-Movie that was never released: it didn’t even go straight to video—instead it went straight to oblivion. It was a seminal attempt to make a movie like Zack and Miri Make a Porno, but instead it had two college-aged male dolts instead of one (i.e.…

	YUNSHENG’S LANGUAGE OF LOVE
	Zhao Yunsheng is the exact opposite of the typical image of the contemporary Chinese artist. He is hardly a scrawny figure with a ponytail, glasses and a goatee, an ironic look, and a casual blazer. Yunsheng has the figure of a bull, the disposition of a panda, and a round head with a buzz-cut. He is constantly drawing and painting in his apartment in a prefab housing estate on the outskirts of…

	DEADSPACE
	An audacious adept of democratic metaphysics reads the motto on the entrance to the new world from the nineteenth century: God is Dead. Hiding in the shade an old butler awaits a reply. The postscript that opens the way says, „Everything goes.“ The man with no fear of God may enter. He became a citizen. The democrat by stepping into the world of equality and freedom, rejects the question of God‘s…

	ENTROPIE
	in OPEN SPACE / What Would the Gallows be Without a Noose? Friedrich Nietzsche, the greatest psychologist of Modern times, noticed some 125 years ago that a war over Christian heritage was raging around him; former Christians were seeking out new prophets and a new religion. From the perspective of eternity, progressive ideologies and regimes shift with the wind; nonetheless, the triumph of the…

	WAYS OF WORKING
	I.D.: In one of our recent conversations, you described how the machinery of large art institutions alienates artists from their work. The artist, arriving at the museum to install his or her works, is sent to a luxury hotel while an armada of professionals cares for the ‘proper’ presentation of his of her work. By this time, the curator and the museum’s PR and education departments have long…

THE PLACES AND MOVEMENTS OF VACLÁV BĚLOHRADSKÝ

Several observations from the late modern era In Prague, Václav Bělohradský moves among many places, contexts, and generations. A column in a newspaper or an essay in its cultural section, the occasional university course or advising student theses, a television debate, lecture, a discussion with politicians. In the early 1990s, when Bělohradský began to travel regularly to Prague from Italy,…

	ON 1989 AND THE SYSTEMS UNDER WICH I HAVE LIVED
	Everything that we use and devalue beyond our basic needs becomes a victim of consumption. The process of consumption is the devaluation of material resources and non-material meanings. I was surprised to learn that this counts for thoughts as well. May this text be consumed too! In response to the celebrations of the 1989 revolution, I have combined passages from the latest book by Czech…

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.
