	BERLIN
	Arndt & Partner In his work for Kassel documenta XI, Thomas Hirschhorn occupied himself with thinking about Georges Battaille; this year he devoted his individual exhibition Doppelgarage at gallery Arndt & Partner to the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. Like in the Battaillian series, besides a hybrid sculpture from recycled material — among which this time his landscapes with giant mushrooms and…

	TIP ZCCA THE NOMAD — ARTIST
	The more I stop belonging somewhere, the more I realize that I come from somewhere. 14. 6. 2002 (The Book of Sighs)Commodities have found other, faster routs than caravans. One can now only choose to lead a nomadic life for what used to be the side effects: to learn about a place and cultural exchange — the intoxicating perhaps illusory sense that you are part of some movement. But frequently…

	FEAR NOT THE FAIR
	"A number of Czech art theorists and artists are still under the impression that art fairs amount to nothing but a brown stain on the list of international art happenings. The more pragmatic consider them a necessary evil; they will sometimes dare to visit one, but the tradition of contemptuously slamming fairs perseveres. This is called the anxiety of reality and the panicky fear of looking into…

LITERÁRNÍ SPOT:BATMAN@STEALTH.COM

"Gotham City, 1953. Batman is lying in bed, wearing the famous “batmask,” complete with pointy ears. He’s listlessly playing with his cock. Is he masturbating? Flesh & Blood on October 15 last year (according to well-informed sources) claimed that Batman detested sperm, and, out of principle, refused to masturbate. On the other hand, Flesh & Blood, February 21 this year, described in detail the…

	GRADUATES
	Cars stole the show at this year’s exhibition of graduates from the Fine Arts Academy (AVU) in Prague. Vít Novotný’s massive ”Batmobile” made from solid wood hunkered in front of Veletržní Palác and the artist (from Karel Nepraš’ studio of sculpture), gave free rides around the building. Once inside the exposition viewers discovered Jitka Havlíčková’s (Miloš Šejn’s studio of conceptual tendencies…

	MOTHER ACT
	In July, Universal NoD gallery saw an action of parental activists fighting for the emancipation of art within the family. Their manifesto attempted to convince us that artists/parents were being oppressed by a mass of lonely and antisocial artists/non-parents. These goons have too much time for their art and self-promotion through various excesses and are too easily able to win the artistic…

	A VIEW ON GLOBALIZATION AT THE SLOVINIAN PAVILION IN VENICE
	The prevailing multicultural tendencies of late postmodernism and its pluralist aesthetics have ultimately merged into the globalized world of new technology, interaction and speed that McLuhan envisioned years ago. Although our existence today is confronting the climax of the capabilities that the post-human world is offering — the mess of total alienation through new media and painful…

	SCOTT`S FILM COLUMN
	"There is much talk today about the so-called “Dogme” school of filmmaking, in which extraneous music, violence and props are kept to an austere minimum, the idea being to strip cinema down to its bare essence: actors performing a screenplay in front of a strategically placed camera. That should be enough, adherents say, to capture whatever it is you’re trying to capture. Standing in opposition…

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.
