The Japanese Interior Tomodachi no Uranchan (Přátelé Uranové dívky) | japan | 01.04.2000
THE JAPANESE INTERIOR
The fatally known clarity of Japanese interior style comes as no surprise. We are so sure of it that we, as Europeans, do not even doubt this fact. Is what we see in beautiful catalogues reality? The average Japanese house is mostly unified in style according to contemporary Japanese architecture, employing wood, paper and plastic. Our brick and stone buildings (including prefabricated blocks of…

"The uniform all Japanese children must wear from the very beginning of his or her studies is not only comprised of a mere “jersey” worn to school, but also of a sweat suit and bag—everything. No individuality is allowed, not even in hairstyles and, in the case of girls, earings. The slightest deviation is squashed, and when a student steps out of line, a meeting is called to carefully explain…

WHY DO SO MANY FRIGHTENING THINGS GO THROUGH SUCH A BOOM?
"Super Idols Gentaro Araki considers himself a false alchemist rather than a figurative sculptor. His company produces incredible characters—figures whose appearance and themes are far from ordinary commercial toys. Araki’s play with gender ambiguity, which is so typical for contemporary Japan, attracts attention on the one hand and is fiercely criticized on the other. This may be the reason why…

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.
