MORE THAN AUTONOMI LESS THAN INDEPENDENCE
Every attempt to give a possible interpretation of contemporary art practices presupposes a certain context out of which these practices emerge. In the context of globalization today, it is exactly the transnational aspect of cultural production, determined by sound theoretical and political coordinates, that opens up a new discursive matrix for the articulation of meaning and values in the…

DEALING WITH THE ISSUE OF THE PICTURE CYCLE AND SERIES OF VIDEOFILMS AS A MODEL OF ART WORK EXCERPT FROM A DOCTORAL THESIS
"Communication between the contemporary visual artist and the public is very limited. Of course, the medium itself requires a certain degree of contemplation, isolation and calm, but the minimal interest still bothers me, along with the realization that, compared to the filmmaking industry, the attention paid to the art world is negligible. I dare say that, despite its various and many…

DORKA
Dorka Dorka magazine was at one time in very good taste. It wanted to oppose kitsch. It was a guide for women, on how to make a cozy, tasteful home, how to dress fashionably, how to express a tasteful self and family. There were passages on how to make arts and crafts, knit, crochet, sew and do anything with whatever cotton or other leftover material there was to be found. Any sort of controversy…

FILM TETRALOGY — THEORY
"Film Tetralogy — theory The making of a videofilm is a continual part of my work. It came about through the need to enrich the artistic aspects of storytelling, linearity and dramatic categories which I love and which I simply do not want to mix into painting or pictures. As I mentioned earlier, I am no friend of inter-field hybrid mutations. I like a fair game played by the rules in clearly…

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.
