	A USER’S GUIDE TO CAPITALISM
	Thompson, Nato – Sholette, Gregory (ed.): The Interventionists. User’s Manual for the Creative Disruption of Everyday Life. Cambridge 2004. When you buy a book and find out that you have accidentally purchased an exhibition catalogue, you might be disappointed. You missed the first experience with art.

PAS TO THE CIVILIAN ZONE

Production of Contemporary Activities, (Produkce aktivit současnosti -- PAS) dates back to 2000.

	SILVINA ARISMENDI
	We might approach an explanation of what Silvina Arismedi is doing by describing plate techtonics: “Continental plates are slowly rising, falling, bending and bowing. In places where they impact or crunch together, there arises pressure.” The pressure in the activity of Silvina Arismendi fulfils the shaking of one contextual zone upon another. The resulting epicenter of such seismic activity can…

	SOŇA GOLDOVÁ
	Soňa Goldová, born 1979 at Hustopeče u Brna, attended the Academy of Visual Art, Brno (studio of Vladimír Merta). At that time she went through a number of less inventive artistic stages. Her most interesting work emerged later, when she began working with photography.Her first photographic series, entitled Ze života (From Life, 2002) came immediately after her last phase of not too expressive,…

	KLAUS: SERMONS AND THOUGHTS FROM THE PREACHER OF DRESDEN
	The Ten CommandmentsDeutsches Hygiene-Museum, Dresden, 19. 6.–5. 12. 2004A flaming sword burns above our heads. The process of spiritual globalization began in full steam back when the prophet Mohammed recognized the prophet Moses. Whatever we do, we still bake in the same basin. At a time when an “undeclared” trans-cultural conflict culminates, and the hotter the hotplate of our life can be,…

	RAFANI 2: THE FUTURE SHOULD BE PLANNED
	It seemed for a moment that Rafani was losing its breath. This Czech art group — which investigates whether and how art can be linked to political ideologies and whether it is possible to carry on a deeper discussion outside of self-promotion — had became its own pastiche. Their tailored uniforms had frayed at the sleeves and their KSČM communist party membership cards were returned with humbug. …

	RAFANI 2: A NEW TRADITION
	Neotrad, Mama showroom for media and moving art, Rotterdam, 14.2 – 4.4. 2004 Mama in Rotterdam consistently produces contemporary shows that display vision while not alienating visitors.

The assembled group…

MAREK POKORNÝ: WHO FROM WHERE TO WHERE AND WHO SWITCHES OFF WHOM

The curator and theoretician Marek Pokorný returned after a few years in Rome to the Czech Republic and became curator of the House of the Lords of Kunštát (dům pánů z Kunštátu) in Brno. A year later he left the position to become the director of the Moravian Gallery. Is this change a promise of new opportunities for contemporary art or the end of work well begun? You started profiling Dům…

	ONLY GOOD IDEAS
	NOD Praha, 15 January – 7 February 2004 Ivan Vosecký and Markéta Othová rolled themselves up into one creative ball for the sake of the exhibition Dobrý nápad (A Good Idea). This was the best idea they could have had. The doomed generation pictures we are used to from Vosecký and Othová’s voyeuristic melancholy were mixed into a precise formation of hybrid design, smoggy beauty and consumerist…

	MASTERS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
	“It’s better to be an ordinary guy living an extraordinary life than the other way around.” The sitcom Friends comes to an end this year. But network NBC already has another ace up the sleeve: an animated sitcom called The Father of the Pride. It will be the first TV series completely generated by computer technology. Production will be in the skilled hands of DreamWorks, the same team which a…

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.
