BONDAGE DE LUXE. A FEW NOTES ON ONE TABOO IN MODERN CULTURE
To Veronika Bromová “And I handed him a reel of strong, sixty-meter-long rope.” Comte de Lautréamont I. Bondage is always about constriction. Humankind has constricted the body from time immemorial. Throughout history somebody has always had to be tightly bound. People have bound men, women, children, murderers, saints, heretics, fools, and heroes. And there just as many ways and even “schools”…

PENIS ENVY (NĚKOLIK POZNÁMEK K JEDNOMU TABU V MODERNÍ KULTUŘE)
"To Lenka Lindaurová “My biggest advantage is my penis.” Jake Steed, porn star I After the article “L’Origine du Monde” in the previous issue, the topic for the following observations is only logical. A penis always follows a vagina. What at first seemed to be an obvious statement, however, turned out not to be that unambiguous within the given context. Penis imagery in the fine arts is so…

L´ORIGINE DU MONDE (A FEW NOTES ON ONE TABOO IN MODERN CULTURE)
To Tomáš Pospiszyl“If your vagina could talk, what would it say?”Eve Ensler, The Vagina Monologues, 1996Rather than write an introduction, I will refer to the article Anus et Animus published in the previous issue of Umělec, the origin of which was basically accidental.

Alfred Kubin - A Few Notes Inspired by the Exhibition Otto M. Urban | artist | 01.05.1999
ALFRED KUBIN - A FEW NOTES INSPIRED BY THE EXHIBITION
One of the oldest preserved works by Alfred Kubin (1877 - 1959) dates back to 1883. The pencil drawing is entitled Magician - the six year-old Kubin depicted a witch gathering full of levitating demons, bats, snakes, skeletons, even a coffin, a royal crown, military medals, and bishop’s staff, etc. The technical aspect of the work does not surprise one very much as it corresponds with Kubin’s age…

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.
