Since 2005 Artyčok.TV (ART–y-CHOK-e or artichoke) has been reporting
from the art scene in Central Europe: Germany, Czech Republic, Poland,
Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Moldavia and also from the United
Kingdom.
Artyčok was founded as a non-for-profit broadcasting internet TV
platform at the Academy of Arts in Prague to feature news from the
contemporary arts scene. In 2005, digital archive was established for
contributions from exhibition's openings, interviews with
artists/curators and documentaries from workshops, art competitions and
lectures.
In the past five years we have featured more than 700 contributions,
which are published online at 8 AM of the Central European Time
everyday. In our online digital archives you can find works of more than
1500 artists from around the world.
ARTYCOK Recommends:
Prague / ALPY IM VRANNÍM SLUNÍČKY NO.5
Visual artist Mark Ther presents and directs the fifth part in a series
„ALPS IM VRANNÍM SLUNÍČKY NO 5." for the ArtyChoke platform where he
visits an exhibition by Herbert Tobias, the Trmal’s villa by architect
Jan Kotĕra and an exhibition of props from a children’s TV programme in
the eighties in former Czechoslovakia.
Berlin / HACKS 4 DEMOCRACY
The event with a subheading ‘a hackday on open data‘ focused on
presentations, collaboration and resolutions; discussing the current
position of the elites in today’s democracies as its common theme.
Featuring: McKinnon Rob, Lindenberg Friedrich, Wehrmeyer Stefan,
Dietrich Daniel and Kreutz Christian
Warsaw / DO ME GOOD
Interactive installation DO ME GOOD attempts to create a current context
for The Women‘s Day in Poland which has had a rather bad reputation for
its links with the past communist regime.
Featuring: Bujnowska Aleksandra, Grochowska Mika, Mamzeta Monika,
Mazurkiewicz Jacek, Zakrocki Patryk, MASH/HER/DIP, Rebelka Jakub,
Wesołowska Ala and Siębor Sebastian
London / BILLY CHILDISH: UNKNOWABLE BUT CERTAIN
Artist, musician and writer Billy Childish is a cult figure, and one who
has gained an international following, but this is the first time a
public institution has brought together a major solo exhibition to
encompass his extraordinary career.
Bratislava / BROŇA SCHRAGGEOVÁ: ME AND MY BROTHER
An intimate statement, expressed in the original handwriting follows the
tradition of illustrated books and in conjunction with its subject
matter it revives the genre‘s exchange of communication with audience.
Belgrade / LECTURE PEFORMANCE
Is contemporary art a product of fascination with aesthetic objects or a
space for a generation of knowledge? How does art operate in relation to
knowledge in academic, science or media realms and how does this
exchange of information work? What aesthetic and formal methods does it
employ in order to establish this specific modus operandi?
Featuring: Backstrőm Fia, Benjamin Walter, Boudry Pauline, Lorenz
Renate, Graham Dan, Fraser Andrea, Leckey Mark, Morris Robert, Show
Pinky, Piratbyrån, Rosler Martha, Spomenik Grupa, TkH, V-Girls, Voss
Jeronimo, Zdjelar Katarina and Verwoert Jan
České Budĕjovice / LAWRENCE WEINER: TAKEN FROM THE WIND AND BOLTED TO
THE GROUND
Lawrence Weiner (1942) was one of the first and most prominent artists
in New York who were in the forefront of a new emerging artform - the
conceptual art of the late 1960s.
In České Budĕjovice he will introduce a new site-specific installation
still bearing his authentic signature style he has worked in for some
time now. The work is available both in original English and Czech versions.
Video Art / David Možný: VIRTUAL SOUL WASTE
Virtual soul waste video is a short visual narrative taking us on a trip
through the world of odinary urban environments. It is made out of
digitalised offset prints taken from books on 70’s socialist
architecture and about houskeeping. Crumbling scenes of buildings and
empty rooms evoke the intimate atmosphere balancing between cosiness and
cataclysm.
David Možný is graduate of art education at the Pedagogical Faculty of
Masaryk University in Brno. In 2000 he started working with a computer
and after a few video-installations and practice of VJing he succeeded
in international context with video for the band Naše vĕc . His work can
be considered as a top in animation and new media not only in the Czech
Republic.
