	AN UNSUCCESSFUL CO-PRODUCTION
	If you know your way around, you might discover that every month and maybe even every week you stand the chance to receive money for your cultural project. Successful applicants have enough money, average applicants have enough to keep their mouths shut, and the unsuccessful ones are kept in check by the chance that they might get lucky in the future. One natural result has been the emergence of…

	TEFLON PROJECT OR A TOUR TO THE RUDOLFINUM (HOWL WAS SHOWING THE RUDOLFINUM)
	Once on a Saturday afternoon, when the clock hands were approaching five and, feeling satisfied with what I had managed to do, I was about to leave Karlin Studios, which houses the publishers Divus and the Umelec editorial team, when the doorbell suddenly rang. We have quite a peculiar doorbell, and realizing that in order to open the door I needed to go all the way downstairs, I was ready to…

	TILLMAN KAISER: ABSTRACT POP-CULTURE
	It is a well-known fact that we think in terms of categories. But if we open them up, that which was dubious and ambiguous begins to be interesting. We start to reflect, to take a closer look, and–while our eye tries to sort and arrange–we re-evaluate. For these reasons, categories should occasionally be subjected to such a procedure. The art of Tillman Kaiser possesses a certain ambiguity; his…

	BISHKEK CONSTRUCTIVISM
	Five years ago, the curator of documenta 12, Roger M. Buergel addressed the major concern of the art world; can modernity now be considered our antiquity? This provoked a lot of responses. It seemed that for Buergel, this was more a question of the external (like Baudrillard, perhaps), but in any case, it was linked to the exhibition in Kassel. Documenta 12 did not only focus on dialogue with…

WHAT’S TO BE SEEN FROM THE TOP OF THE DARK MOUNTAIN

Interview with Dougald Hine As with so many things the future is an uncertain place. Do we make plans only to see them wither on the vine or just let the tide of history wash over us? With so many things to think about and so many metaphors for us to use it is a wonder we get anything done at all. The future then; it might be seen as an imaginative space that in this fast paced modern world is…

	ICONOCLASH IN CHISINAU: WINGS VERSUS TORCHES, OR THE ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS DIALECTICS
	1. Iconoclash in Eastern Europe For two decades many countries located in the Eastern and Southern parts of Europe have been caught in the midst of iconoclastic campaigns – a situation which may bring to mind the Western and Northern European 16th century Protestant Reformation.1 In the more recent revolts, which were at their peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s, great masses of people…

	LOBOTOMIES AT EVERY TURN
	Winter is over; summer’s begun – Thanks, dear Communist Party, for the seasons again. This is a once-popular couplet that any citizen of the former USSR with at least some sense of humor had no trouble understanding. Despite its sad irony, this laconic rhyme could bring a smile to their faces. Summer was over, autumn had begun – and there I was again, face to face with these strange creatures…

	THE SUGAR GREEK OF MUSIC AND THE VAIN YEARING FOR HIERARCHY
	Sugar Creek was only two inches deep and fifty yards wide at the bend. Now they had put the Mildred Barry Memorial Center for the Arts there. It was beautiful. Sugar Creek flooded now and then. In a land so flat, flooding was a queerly pretty thing for water to do. Sugar Creek brimmed over silently, formed a vast mirror in which children might safely play. The mirror showed the citizens the shape…

	MUSIC WHOSE GESTURES CANNOT BE SEEN BUT THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO
	There are, by far, not as many ways of understanding contemporary music, within all its twisting labyrinthine expressions, as there are manifestations of this music, and yet there exist important signs (or rather tendencies) that we can use to roughly describe and differentiate today’s music from that found in preceding decades. It is definitely characterized by an intermedia orientation and by…

	THE RED SHOES
	It is night. On a platform edge in an empty subway station sits a pair of beautiful pink shoes, alone and ready to wear. No one is present; the shoes are abandoned, ownerless. Why not pick them up, put them on and take them home? In the Korean film The Red Shoes (Bunhongsin (Yong-gyun Kim, 2005)) gruesome answers to this question reveal the fatality of possessiveness in a ghost-tale concerning…

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.
