SUMMARY:Jan Zatorsky: Prague – A Playground for David Černý
DESCRIPTION:This outdoor exhibition by photographer Jan Zatorsky complements David Černý: The Glorious 90s in Prague. Reprinted by Prusa Research\, on display at Vitrínka Gallery. While the gallery exhibition brings Černý’s iconic works to London in new 3D-printed forms\, Zatorsky’s photographs take you back to Prague\, where these works have become part of the city’s contemporary landscape. \nYou know the Czech capital\, Prague. She – because we call her the Mother – has of course the charming panoramas of historic buildings. And serves her visitors magnetic views of Prague Castle\, the Charles Bridge and many other sights. \nBut if you give the city a second look\, you will see a different face – with contemporary art scattered around\, in between historic buildings and the new ones too. Czech artist David Černý\, the forever ‘enfant terrible’ of Czech art\,  has his signature on many of them. In fact\, he has shaped the contemporary layer of Prague’s look like no other Czech artist. \nCzech photojournalist Jan Zatorsky\, holder of several Czech Press Photo awards\, has walked in Černý’s footprints in Prague to guide you through. His photo story from the Czech capital presents Černý’s striking pieces\, that almost shout at you with their size\, and also the less visible ones that are there to catch you by surprise – but both ways\, always make you think. \nThis photographic display accompanies the Czech Centre London exhibition of David Černý’s works\, seen around Prague\, in 3D models printed by Prusa Research\, a company that started modestly in the Czech Republic in 2012 and grew into one of the global leaders in 3D printer manufacturing. \nAt both venues you will see Černý‘s giant Babies sculptures (first made in 1999)\, which climb the Žižkov district TV tower and have already become one of the city’s symbols. The story of the legendary Pink Tank (first painted by Černý in the bright colour in 1991 to confront the remnants of Soviet political dominance and propaganda after the fall of Communism) has new chapters  written into today‘s landscape of Prague. Watch out\, so you don’t trip over it! Černý‘s more recent works include The Butterfly Effect\, honouring the Czechoslovak RAF pilots who fought alongside the Brits in the Second World War\, and the rotating head of Prague author Franz Kafka\, Instagram’s favourite sight in the Czech capital. \nDavid Černý was born in Prague in 1967 to a family of artists. He later studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague between 1988 and 1996. In 1990\, he received the Special Prize at the Kortrijk Biennale\, Belgium. One year later\, he began his residential scholarship in Boswil after receiving a grant from the Swiss Government. In 1994\, he moved to New York as an artist in residence at the PS1 gallery. Two years later\, he completed the Whitney Independent Study Program. In 1996\, he won another grant\, this time from the Pollack-Krasner Foundation in the United States\, and in 2000\, he received the Jindřich Chalupecký Award for the country’s most promising visual artist under the age of 35. In 2001\, he founded Meetfactory\, a non-profit international centre for contemporary art. He lives in Prague and is the proud father of his daughter\, Elektra. \nJan Zatorsky is a Czech photographer\, who was born into the family of a protestant pastor in Northern Moravia in 1957. He was free to work as a photographer only after the fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia in 1989. For most of the 1990s\, when people without links to the Communist regime were needed\, especially in the security forces\, he held high positions at the Ministry of the Interior and the Police. Since 2000 he was the chief photographer of the Mediacop publishing house\, which had the influential weekly magazine Týden in its portfolio. Later he became the chief photographer for the Lidové noviny a daily Czech newspaper with a democratic tradition dating back to the 19th century. \nThis exhibition is part of the 30th Made in Prague Festival organised by Czech Centre London. \nOutdoor exhibition on the fence of the Czech Embassy 26 – 30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London W8 4QY\nFree access 24/7 \nVisit David Černý: The Glorious 90s in Prague. Reprinted by Prusa Research at the Czech Centre’s Vitrínka Gallery to see newly created 3D-printed versions of Černý’s iconic works\, and also stop by the Bouda Gallery to explore Landscape\, an exhibition of student works from the Studio of Ceramics and Porcelain at the Academy of Arts\, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM).

SUMMARY:Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition project Landscape\, featuring selected student works from UMPRUM\, shows how the landscape can bear witness to human presence\, but also how it in turn shapes our behaviour. The works reflect both the states of abandonment or departure of a human from the landscape and their intensely materialised presence.  \nEvery place we enter changes us\, and we change it in return. Through our everyday actions we leave traces on the world around us\, while the landscapes we inhabit shape our memories\, habits\, and ways of living. But landscapes also have lives of their own. Long after people leave\, nature continues to grow\, adapt\, and transform. \nThe exhibition project Landscape\, through a selection of student works from the Studio of Ceramics and Porcelain at the Academy of Arts\, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM)\, demonstrates how the landscape can bear witness to human presence\, but also how it itself shapes our behaviour. Similar themes resonated in public discourse in post-communist countries in the early 1990s\, at the dawn of interest in the systematic protection of the environment and human impact on the landscape. \nThe works on display reflect two types of movement. The first is the abandonment or departure of humans from the landscape and the ways in which nature gradually comes to terms with their absence. Within this line of thinking\, we can consider Noemi Sickova’s project Meadow\, which explores the relationship between the meadow ecosystem’s dependence on human activity\, and Marie Bokova’s Wound as a Technology of Remembrance\, which addresses the phenomenon of the preservation of old varieties of fruit trees from abandoned border regions. \nThis is directly followed by the second movement: the intensely materialised presence. It is often associated with the exploitation and commodification of natural resources and with unequal relationships between humans and other organisms. \nKrystof Vicha’s Seabed Elegy uses an art installation to explore the possible future of a specific deposit and the price we are willing to pay for a particular raw material. Similarly\, in her work With Their Hands in the Ground Barbora Kurkova draws on a specific location and personal experience to reflection memory in the mining landscape of northern Bohemia\, the process of its preservation and its loss. Roman Mares seeks to address the negative consequences of the expansion and transformation of human settlements on urban fauna by designing architectural elements that facilitate bird nesting. Meanwhile\, Veronika Marikova’s video installation If you’re afraid\, don’t get on a bike reflects on the hostility and power dynamics that influence movement within the urban landscape. \nThe projects by the youngest generation invite visitors to reflect on just how far thinking about ecology and environmental issues has progressed since the 1990s. \nGiven that the exhibiting artists did not themselves experience the optimistic atmosphere of the 1990s\, they maintain a distance from the hopeful prospects that humanity is capable of effectively resolving the problems it has caused. On the contrary\, their sensitive reflection on the relationship between humankind and the landscape leads them to humility\, to weighty considerations of responsibility\, and to the need to redefine the relationship between the landscape and humankind in a fairer way.
