Born in 1975, Macke studies at the visual communication studio with Jiří David at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.
Having experience with teaching, Macke chooses sophisticated themes, executing them conceptually. His major works include the series of large format paintings Unrealized Objects, which shows unbelievably constructed architectural shapes in a fauvist-colored landscape. The shapes refer to Malevich’s suprematism. The paintings look like an inappropriate question asked at the wrong moment, but at the same time they are a well-conceived metaphor for our all-too-familiar absurdities. Taboo is Macke’s other favorite theme. Religion versus pornography is the most obvious choice, yet Macke balances out this hazy boundary by shifting the meanings of Christian icons combining them with porn and political issues such as current armed conflicts. One of the most successful executions of this theme includes a subtle installation entitled God Never Leaves Us Anywhere, emphasizing racist issues through the symbols of the Church. Macke is able to work with up-to-date themes while restraining from slipping in personal views, which allows them to manifest in a point-blank way.

One natural result has been the emergence of…

Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.

“La persona debe sacudir tres veces la mano de alguien mientras mantiene fijamente la mirada en sus ojos. Así es como es posible memorizar el nombre de una persona con certeza. De ésta forma es como he recordado los nombres de las 5000 personas que han estado en el Horse Hospital”, me dijo Jim Holland. Holland es un experimentado cineasta, músico y curador. En su infancia, sufrió al pasar por…
