Over the past decade photography has become – like almost anywhere else in the world – very popular among young Czech artists and its position has been further strengthening with emerging new digital technologies. Ever more artists, including those about to enter the mid-generation, work with computer software, digital prints, digital cameras and digital video. Thanks to long-term traditional use of the medium in the country a number of experiments succeeded in avoiding meaningless toying with technology and showed clear and quality concept by the artists.

The exhibition of Czech photography over the past decade wishes to present both artists working with classical photography and those embarking on diversified experiments with the medium. They all, however, share a will to attract the viewer with their stories, whether they are told in the form of realistic shots in landscape or in urban environments, staged fantasies through digitally edited and manipulated photographic images.

The concept of the exhibition combines both established and internationally acclaimed artists and new faces in the Czech art scene. Through this approach it wishes to unvail to the viewer the possible trends and tendencies, which have been coming to the forefront in Czech photography over the past decade. Intentionally, the exhibition is void of any thematic umbrella and an idea of one curator. The individual artists and their works will stand in the exposition for themselves.

	Acts, Misdemeanors and the Thoughts of the Persian King Medimon
	There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…

	The Top 10 Czech Artists from the 1990s
	The editors of Umělec have decided to come up with a list of ten artists who, in our opinion, were of crucial importance for the Czech art scene in the 1990s. After long debate and the setting of criteria, we arrived at a list of names we consider significant for the local context, for the presentation of Czech art outside the country and especially for the future of art. Our criteria did not…

	My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution
	An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the “scandalous” realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.

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.
