In transition or Where the Ruined and Other Dreams May Lead Alena Boika | in transition | 01.01.2011
IN TRANSITION OR WHERE THE RUINED AND OTHER DREAMS MAY LEAD
It was the second event of In Transition—an international project with an exhibition and a symposium—which brought me to Yekaterinburg. As it is clear from the title, the project addresses the problems of displaced people, i.e. migrants, refugees, repatriates. The participants are selected through an open online contest and approved by Helene Black and Sheila Pinkel (the founders of NeMe, an…
Ivars Gravlejs: Aliens Among Us Alena Boika | in transition | 01.01.2011
IVARS GRAVLEJS: ALIENS AMONG US
If you are walking down the street on an ordinary gray day and suddenly encounter something that looks like the Northern Lights, then you have most likely run into Ivars Gravlejs. Unlike most members of the Czech Republic’s artistic and intellectual circles, Ivars does not find black, gray and other depressing colors particularly elegant (anarchist, reserved, non-staining – insert the right word…
Petra Pětiletá: Catching the Beauty Alena Boika | in transition | 01.01.2011
PETRA PĚTILETÁ: CATCHING THE BEAUTY
Dedicated to the memory of Georgy Ivanov: Subatomic Decomposition. Every morning when I look out of the window, I see Petra Pětiletá running up the hill. Sometimes I think Petra waits just for me to come to the window before starting her impetuous run, which always ends in the same way: a red cap disappearing beyond the horizon, an instantaneous, bright touch of the holidays that flashes for…
Riga: Life is Life Alena Boika | in transition | 01.01.2011
RIGA: LIFE IS LIFE
Even when they were a part of the Soviet Union, the Baltic States were always a special region, a piece of the West in the East, with a strong scent and sheen of capitalism, though quite reserved due to the conditions of Soviet life. What did the Soviet people know about these republics at the time? Both then and now, people were almost pathologically incapable of distinguishing the three –…
Yekaterinburg: in the footsteps of one’s travel Alena Boika | in transition | 01.02.2010
YEKATERINBURG: IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ONE’S TRAVEL
Yekaterinburg is a city, which can rightly claim to be the chief, if we talk about In Transition. A city where every visitor is trying to find that very point, the Urals, where, you see, it is possible to have one foot in Europe and the second in Asia. A city which can be proud to have the largest number of royal family per unit area. A city which in the 1980’s, still under the name of Sverdlovsk…
Zlín: Don’t Call it a Utopia -or A Garden City by an Industrialist, Who Turned Dreams into Seconds Alena Boika | in transition | 01.02.2010
ZLÍN: DON’T CALL IT A UTOPIA -OR A GARDEN CITY BY AN INDUSTRIALIST, WHO TURNED DREAMS INTO SECONDS
My acquaintance with Zlín began when I was preparing the material on Yekaterinburg—the city which is known for its spectacular monuments to the constructivist epoch. Both cities can be proud of being the architectural embodiment of their respective conceptual ideals and, despite the fact those ideals are different to one another both cities architecture is determined by this evidence of Utopias.…

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.
