HEAVY METAL
|
| "Skulls, tons of skulls. Black, night and horror. A grave. Satan and death, terrifying noise, an end to all hope, demons and madness. All standard fare in heavy metal music, along with skeletons, blood, doomed civilizations, vomit, black magic, war, blasphemy, booze, freakish animals, pierced eyes, cemeteries, fetuses, Armageddon, violence, underground crypts stacked with corpses, the nation,… |

TERRORISTS IN OSTRAVA
|
| Pierre Daguin recently displayed his collection of art weapons for the first time. His project in terrorism took place in the Ostravian pub/ gallery, Černý Pavouk, where the shadowy atmosphere made it feel like terrorists were just sidling in for a beer. As an artist, Daguin walks the perilous line between the acceptable and unacceptable, the division between art and reality. He manipulates both… |

…BUGGER OFF, TV!
|
| “Freedom of speech” is one of those formulations charged with extraordinary power, one phrase within a larger grouping of phrases, all of which — if deftly employed — are capable of striking weapons from hands and arguments from mouths.

LA RÉSISTANCE LIVES ON
|

MARGINAL DIFFERENCES
|
| "Michal Koleček established himself in the 1990s as a unique curator for the Emil Filla Gallery in Ústí nad Labem, CZ. As a result of his efforts, many artists from the former Eastern Bloc are not only finding a place in Ústí, but also in Prague.In your work as a curator you mostly focus, as few here do, on post-communist art.

SCOTT`S FILM COLUMN
|

Repeated reshaping since its creation by Mary Shelley in 1816 has transformed this tale of “man playing god” into little more than a recurring pop motif — albeit one fraught with racial, sexual and political undertones, and one that invariably attempts to evoke the alienation of modern life.
