	CONTACTS OF THE THIRD KIND
	Kontakt, Mumok, Vienna, March 17 – May 21, 2006 The Kontakt exhibition in Vienna shows a cross-section of middle-European art from the 1960s to the 1990s from the collection of the Erste Bank Group, which was founded within their Tranzit project. It shows works that were unable encounter each other because of the communist regimes, but yes still somehow “communicate” and follow common…

	LIFE IN COUNTERCULTURE
	Interview with Gene Youngblood Gene Youngblood (1942) is an electronic media art critic and the author of Expanded Cinema (1970), one of the first publications dealing with video and computer-generated film. He has been elaborating its ideas—ranging from expanded conceptions of film and the arts to science, technology and cultural revolution—since 1967 in his weekly column, “Intermedia,” for…

	MOZART AND SALIERA
	When I arrived in Vienna at the end of January the city was maniacally obsessed with three topics: Mozart, the anniversary of whose birth was turned into an unbearable avalanche of visual and audio kitsch, Klimt, whose paintings including the Golden Adele after years of international litigation had to be stripped off the walls of the Belvedere Gallery and returned to the rightful owners, and, of…

	20 FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SWITZERLAND
	1 Four cultures Switzerland has seven and a half million inhabitants, most of them speaking a German dialect. One canton speaks French, another one speaks Italian. In some mountain valleys, the Latin-derived dialect Rhaeto-Romanic still survives. It is kept alive with subsidies, because multi-lingualism is one of the nation’s fundamentals. 2 Nation of immigrants Switzerland is a nation of…

	GET REAL!
	Forms of Communication Against Losing One’s Sense of Reality Objectivity plays an important role in the (commercial) art system, since contemporary art finds itself in a constant state of latent insecurity. This is due to the inherent subjectivity of all aesthetic judgement, but is also due to the expected new-ness of a work of art. However, these days almost any shape can be attached to some…

	SPARKS FROM THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ART AND POLITICS IN ZURICH
	“When I was youn ger, I wanted to go fight with Che in the jungle, but now I’m just a standard leftie-liberal.” Jenny Holzer 1 Chapter 1: Art & Politics – Thank you for your time Of the concepts that had emerged from the discursive practices of artistic and political activism of the 1960s and 1980s, many sound archaic (while others remain all the more acute and useful). Critical voices…

TRUE OR FALSE

The top ten reasons for being misunderstood insights of a committee member Oliver Kielmayer Switzerland – just like many other central European countries – has quite a diverse system of art-sponsorship. The Swiss Cantons and big cities each have their own art collections that grow by means of regular purchases of works by local artists. Switzerland also gives out annual grants for studies…

	NEWS FROM THE CORNER
	New Self Confidence in Swiss Art That it is indeed possible to fully derail a recipe for success was made all too clear when, just two years ago, when the Swiss parliament heatedly debated a reduction of grant monies for the Swiss cultural foundation Pro Helvetia. An artwork had unleashed the cultural battle, that behind the scenes had already been a longstanding debate about structural reform…

	FROM HEIDI HO TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN SWITZERLAND... AND BACK?
	Due to a lack of aristocrats, powerful cities and because of its strong iconoclastic protestant church, Switzerland has for hundreds of years been a very rural country and as regarding the fine arts, rather peripheral. In past and present - a small but beautiful place with a picture-postcard landscape of snow topped mountains, cheese, chocolate and Heidi, was an important inspiration to many…

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.
