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.
