THE TRIUMPHAL MARCH OF THE VUVUZELA: CAN WE BAN ELEPHANTS FROM TRUMPETING?
The big hit of this year’s football World Cup in South Africa, the plastic vuvuzela—used in general by South African fans to trumpet a monotone symphony of football fandom—has became a popular target of colorful comparisons. This 65-centimeter long “horrendous whistle,” as Czech midfielder Tomáš Rosický has called it, is earning labels left and right—mostly of the pejorative type. The trumpet of…

TERRITORIES OF SOUND
During a recent trip to Europe and America I mused on the sonic experience of travel. A low, white noise buzz permeates the hermetically sealed cabin, a windy physical and sonic tremor which one can cover (but not altogether escape) by judicious use of the head phones.

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.
