	ONDŘEJ BRODY IS NORMAL
	Wherever you are you are with brody&paetau A collaborative team of artists who, indiscriminately and bordering on the intolerable, caricature global arrogance and regional slime. They are especially known for their degrading actions aimed at the functioning of contemporary culture. Art critic Adam Budak: “This conceptual neo-dadaistic artistic duo is on the lookout for the worst aspects of…

	THE HISTORY OF CZECH ART AT A GLANCE II. ART AFTER 1989
	This is the long-awaited continuation of the history of Czech modern and contemporary art from Umělec issue 3/2007. In the last section we exposed the lives of artists who came under pressure from the Communist Party’s Central Committee. We found them in their warm, centrally-heated art studios. Now we will examine how the student revolt of 1989, an event that changed the lives of millions of…

	OUTLINE OF THE CZECH ART HISTORY I. PERIOD OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE (1960-1989)
	BRUSSELS By the end of the 1950s, it was clear that Czechoslovak Socialist Realism had never existed. Between the wars, emerging art became increasingly transparent in its indebtedness to the Avant-Garde and its ideals of building new culture and society. The movement far outlived the original concept, with the processes lasting much longer than naive contributors to inter-war…

	INFORMATIONAL READY-MADES AND THEIR ETHICS
	In the last few years Czech contemporary art has shown a tendency towards conceptualism. One of the signs of this tendency is the growing number of artists who work with texts. Their approaches are various, of course: the text message can be part of a painting, a drawing, a photograph, a print, a 3D object, a film or a work placed on the Internet. It is used by artists interested in non-pictorial…

	JAZZ FROM SUN TLEN
	Artists on the boundary between the fifties and the present day between high art and design between traditional technique and computer technology between painting and story A lot of ink has been spilled over the fate of painting lately. Its “new waves” are declared nearly every day according to marketing needs of gallery owners and curators whose rhetoric reflects little of any real crisis or…

	THE GWANGJU BIENNALE
	Gwangju is pretty far from Middle Europe. But the experiences from Southern Korea can be inspiring and empowering knowing that something’s happening somewhere. The Gwangju Biennale is a huge exhibition that brings top presentations of contemporary art creation to a place that has an interrupted or, to be more precise, no tradition of contemporary art. This presents a problem in itself, before…

	A PORTRAIT IN THE ERA OF CINEMATOGRAPHY
	Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures. Kunst-Werke Berlin, Auguststrasse 69, till August 8, 2004.In Berlin, apart from the monumental Museum of Modern Art show, Das MoMA, at the New National Art Gallery, visitors should not miss a smaller joint exhibition. On top of all the notorious works this show offers Europe lesser- known works — Andy Warhol’s silent films at Kunst-Werke. The very entrance to the…

	DANCE, AFTER ALL, GOD IS A DJ
	The Contemporary Art Mechanisms and Contemplations of Nicolas BourriaudIt requires courage to grasp a global theory of modern art. The last wave of such efforts were carried out as postmodernist re-evaluations of well-established canons, essentially a revisionist effort encompassing even distant post-war avant-garde history, and paradoxically ignoring complex synchronicities. Even large elaborate…

	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,…

FORGOTTEN GENIUS OF CZECH ART

Zdeněk Burian is a remarkable artist who has yet to receive satisfactory acclaim for all the aspects of his rich oeuvre. There is perhaps no other artist who contributed more to the idea of what visual art looks like. Serious art historians turn their noses up at the adventure illustrator. Burian’s hard-core fans on the other hand lack the necessary distance and ability to place his work in a…

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.
