EDITORIAL

The Czech art scene usually reserves the summer months for preparing the ground for fall shows. Some festivals are considered well in advance, but the harvest usually comes in September. And it appears that this year the launch of the season will not be attended by skepticism and a nagging feeling of absurdity: There is a certain joy and expectation in the air. Display, the trustworthy darling…

	CRUEL AND TENDER IN LONDON

	GO JOHNNY GO
	The sights and sounds of the wailing guitar will pound the walls for many months at Kunsthalle Vienna in a new show that runs from 24 Oct. to 7 March 2004 in hall 1 of the museum. Titled Go Johnny Go — The Electric Guitar: Art and Myth, the exhibition traces the significance of the guitar in art, global youth culture and as a symbol of protest from the early 1960s to the present. With the guitar…

	METROPOLIS OF SILENCE (RYUTA AMAE)
	“Synthetic image” is an expression used to describe a painted image numerically processed via informatics. Because it is held in coded form in the memory of the computer — on a magnetic tape or on an optical disc — it is unreadable to the human eye, unless in a projection on a cathode screen, or some other graphic receiver. The so-called pixels, or basic units of color image, carry light…

	JIŘÍ FRANTA
	Born in 1978, since 2000 he has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (currently in the studio of Vladimír Skrepl).As is the custom in the most liberal atelier of the AFA in Prague, Jiří Franta also has no problem swapping media. Franta — who approaches with chutzpah the delicate topics of violence, historical memory and the abuse of power — was accepted in 2000 as a member of Rafani, a…

TEREZA JANEČKOVÁ IS AN ARTIST

Tereza Janečková is a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, the Czech Republic, yet she was able to advantageously commercialize and publicize her latest artistic project. In the pages of the Czech magazine Reflex, in an article entitled “Heart and Spades,” J. X. Doležal mulled over what it was that brought this student to realize one project: a pornographic photo-series printed in the…

	ACB: A PRIVATE GALLERY – A CHANCE TO FIND YOUR OWN PIECE OF ART
	Budapest’s newest commercial art gallery is located in the ground-floor flat of a lovely old house in the heart of the city. In the courtyard, stairs with a stone railing lead up to a small porch big enough to host a smallish crowd of people chatting and smoking for openings. From there one can enter the gallery. The stairs, the stone railing and the porch, as well as the house itself, are relics…

	FUTURA O. S.
	In the low-budget Czech landscape, new Futura Gallery has made a truly adrenaline-pumping impact. During the take-off of everything new, the stories surrounding unfettered projects are always full of optimism, and big hope. In the case of Futura, it is necessary to figure in the fact that, at a time when Czech galleries and artistic operations are not exactly suffering from a surfeit of money,…

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.
