Born in 1976, Havlíčková has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague since 1994, first in the drawing studio of Jitka Svobodová and then in the studio of conceptual art with Miloš Šejn.
Jitka Havlíčková takes her time, working persistently on all her projects and invariably taking a solid step towards self-reflection. Up to now her spatial drawings have been her most interesting work: hair interlacing over the surfaces of sinks and bathtubs. The three-dimensional aspect to the drawings creates the impression that they are unending stories, without a beginning or an end. The story, which unfolds either ornamentally or narratively, is not only in the drawing but also in a part of the object, which carries its own individuality and the intimate story of bathing. Her work strongly evokes physical absence and the passage of time halted at the moment of flooding water, simultaneously, within a flash, altering the important moments in life. The ephemeral nature of ideas, mood, personal stories, and everyday perceptions are aptly captured by the meticulously shaped strands of gathered hair, which belong to specific people, as do the old bathtubs and sinks. The hair drawings, created by using sugar water, are varnished and carefully maintained.

They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…

Nick Land war ein britischer Philosoph, den es nicht mehr gibt, ohne dass er gestorben ist. Sein beinahe neurotischer Eifer für das Herummäkeln an Narben der Realität, hat manch einen hoffnungsvollen Akademiker zu einer obskuren Weise des Schaffens verleitet, die den Leser mit Originalität belästigt. Texte, die er zurückgelassen hat, empören, langweilen und treiben noch immer zuverlässig die Wissenschaftler dazu, sie als „bloße“ Literatur einzustufen und damit zu kastrieren.

Goff & Rosenthal, Berlin, 18.11. – 30.12.2006
Was eine Droge ist und was nicht, wird gesellschaftlich immer wieder neu verhandelt, ebenso das Verhältnis zu ihr. Mit welcher Droge eine Gesellschaft umgehen kann und mit welcher nicht und wie von ihr filmisch erzählt werden kann, ob als individuelles oder kollektives Erleben oder nur als Verbrechen, demonstriert der in Berlin lebende Videokünstler…
