MY DEAR FRIEND
|
| The name Nondas Andriopulos sounds exotic to exotic to Czech ears, though it definitely doesn’t resonate with the same kind of tension as the names Duchamp, Beuys or Sperri. It just sounds so damned Greek. Which can often raise a lot of distrust in a Central European. A fleeting memory of the frivolous Olympian gods and there’s no need to say another word. Otherwise, forgetting about antiquity,… |

ACTS, MISDEMEANORS AND THE THOUGHTS OF THE PERSIAN KING MEDIMON
|
| There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,… |

HOW TO MAKE AND FLY THE ROCKET INRI — A THERAPEUTIC MANUAL IN DETAIL
|
| One time, Persian’s cellmate managed to see the invisible — the most real world. When he finally understood his cell, the dirty and cold chamber transformed into a
beautiful scented garden full of colors and life. But Persian was able to change his cell
into the central capsule of the cosmic ship INRI.
At night, when you sit on the lower bunk, you see only sky and stars through the window.… |

BURNT TOAST AND BROKEN SATELLITES: THE ART OF JAN JAKUB KOTÍK

| Like a lot of young artists, 32-year-old Jan Jakub Kotík started out as a musician, playing with a number of indie rock bands in New York after finishing his art studies at the prestigious Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, where he was a student of Hans Haacke. He actually quit making art altogether for a few years after school, focusing all of his energy on music. Then he… |

SLEEPWALKING IN BERLIN
|
| After a night of heavy drinking, I crawled out of an uncomfortable hostel bed, somewhat ready to make my way over to the nearby KunstWerke, one of the two main venues for this year’s installment of the Berlin Biennale. Over breakfast, we sifted through the contents of the press packet. This year’s artistic director, Ute Meta Bauer’s unique conception is to organize the berlin biennale (I learn… |

STRIPPED POP AND AFFIRMATION IN KRAFTWERK, LAIBACH AND RAMMSTEIN
|
| This is a revised version of a lecture held on 29 January 1999 in Potsdam during the Leni Riefenstahl exhibition. It intended to deal with the issue of Nazi aesthetics and Pop culture. Rammstein, currently the most successful German band, took part in the discussion. In their music video “Stripped” they use shots from Riefenstahl’s 1936 movie Olympia, and after the lecture a discussion was held… |

TEREZA DAMCOVÁ
|
| Tereza Damcová was born in 1977 in Brno. Since 1999 she has been studying at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno (the graphics atelier of Margita Titlová — Ylovsky).
The self-portrait videos of Tereza Damcová make ones blood run cold. When in Srdce (Heart), she tears into a plasticine model of what is both the central muscle of the circulatory system and love, we can see how she increases her self… |

ROMAN TÝC
|
| Roman Týc came into this world in 1974, but was really born last January together with the Heart. That was when he cut himself off from his past and started to make a mess of things. As he was preparing Ohnívání (Rotting Away) for Prague’s Art Factory, his hair was combed over the crown of his head like a comic book villain child, and nowadays he looks more like Trautenberk (Ed. — A mean, fat,… |

JÁN MANČUŠKA: FROM THINGS TO THEIR MEANING
|
| For several years now Ján Mančuška has been one of those rare species of artists — visible. This could be credited to his monumental installation projects, which in their variety and complexity demand of the viewer a great degree of awareness and an unusually long period of time to take them in. Consequently they remain seared in the minds of viewers somewhat longer than his four-second puns,… |
