ТРЕХПРУДНЫЙ: ПОРА ЗАДАВАТЬ НАИВНЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ
|
| 5 сентября 1991 года московская публика пришла на презентацию новой галереи. Но, поднявшись в мансарду дома в Трехпрудном переулке, обнаружила вместо картин или инсталляций, только двух бомжей. Типичные представители сословия занимались своими делами – пили дешевое вино, бранились, курили вонючие окурки, не обращая никакого особого внимания на вернисажную публику. Так, акцией «Милосердие»,… |

AN ATTEMPT TO COMPARE THE PHENOMENA OF "TUSOVKA" IN THE RUSSIAN ART OF THE NINETIES WITH THE CONTEMPORARY CZECH COMMUNITY
|
| The production and exhibition of the contemporary art of young people in the Czech Republic has many attributes that call attention to the artwork’s communal character. These features can be read in conjunction with the “tusovka” phenomenon associated with the Russian scene of the 1990s. Tusovka is Russian gangland slang for “assemblage,” or “gathering.” By about 1999, the concept of tusovka… |

ALICE NIKITINOVÁ
|
| If the latest paintings of Alice Nikitinová (1979) were presented with the accompaniment of Coldcut’s music, those anonymous guys clad in brightly colored overalls might gradually start to move. Nikitinová’s previous works have included thematic traffic signs, surface improvements and colored areas projected into the view of people living in a city. By reproducing surfaces while disregarding… |

OF MEESE AND THE GERMANS
|
| Jonathan Meese is currently Germany’s most controversial artist. His exhibition Mama Johnny, held in the Deichtorhallen gallery in Hamburg, was the exhibition event of the year. An artist of just 36 years of age, he was given the chance to fill more than a hundred square meters of space. He sold piles of junk to the interested public, labelling them as part of a new, intellectual world system:… |

SYLVIE BRODI
|
| After they came home from their favorite restaurant where they have gone every Friday friends with whom they have met up with more-or-less regularly since high school, they didn’t say a word. The children were already asleep. They took a shower. He sat in a comfortable armchair in the hall. Usually, when he comes home late from a pub, he turns on the TV whatever is on and has a shot. Not today.… |

NOW ART IS HERE: JIŘÍ VALOCH
|
| I’m writing about Jiří Valoch because his textual installations contain a powerful poetry. His recent exhibition in the National Gallery and his work in the Caesar Gallery in Olomouc, a center of the Moravian art scene that influences him so strongly, are the best examples to consider him from. Along with Dalibor Chatrný and J.H. Kocman, he is counted among the conceptual artists in Brno; his… |

FROG STEAK
|
| Tissue art is the art of manipulating growing tissue into statues or the form of other objects. The Australian group SymbioticA (www.symbiotica.uwa.edu.au) started these experiments using animal tissue. They let the tissue grow into the forms of half-alive dolls or the ear of the famous artist Stelarc, or they created bird wings from the tissue of pigs. In their project Disembodied Cuisine, Catts… |
