THE HORSE HOSPITAL: Colonnade, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 1JD

An extravagant Venetian Baronet fights boredom and contempt of the morbid urbanism and bourgeois constraints of his native city through various excesses assisted by his lackey Lubomír. He finally opts to experience a spiritual death, which is facilitated by the director of The National Theatre of the Mrštík Brothers in Brno and executed by the Angel of Spiritual Death and the Devil without Attributes. But things turn out differently than the baronet imagined…

This highly imaginative playful drama filled with linguistic virtuosity, ironic humour and cruelly accurate deconstructions of social and cultural hypocrisies will be presented in London for the first time in English as a staged reading for four actors.

Author: S.d.Ch.
Adaption: Eva Daníčková
Cast: Cristina Catalina, Christopher Holt and others
70 minutes

Czech author Miloslav Vojtíšek, aka S.d.Ch. is an award-winning playwright, artist and writer. From visual art across to the written word his work is distinct in its sarcasm, humour and boundless imagination, making him both a unique phenomenon and enfant terrible of the Czech cultural scene.

The reading is accompanied by a launch of the author’s new book A Makeshift Imitatio Christi, published in English by Divus and a solo exhibition of collages and comics at the Divus gallery in London.

In collaboration with Czech Centre London. Supported by TECHO, Pilsner Urquell and the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

	Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism
	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.

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.
