Alpy in vranním sluníčky 26
Martin Fryč, snad se dá říci, že neúnavně a hluboko mapuje výstavy v Praze. Trošku si ho podruhé a i poprvé přiblížíme.

- What's your profession?00:02:17.691
- 00:02:17.691
- I work in HR.00:02:21.083
- 00:02:21.083
- I offer managers to take up jobs for the competitor.00:02:23.865
- 00:02:23.865
- As a recruitment agency working on projects,00:02:30.554
- 00:02:30.554
- we always look for specific people.00:02:34.899
- 00:02:34.899
- How did you become interested in art?00:02:39.524
- 00:02:39.524
- I'm interested in all kinds of things.00:02:43.278
- 00:02:43.278
- As children, my brother and I had many hobbies,00:02:47.204
- 00:02:47.204
- from phillumeny, philately or astronomy to history.00:02:51.675
- 00:02:51.675
- All kinds of humanities.00:02:57.413
- 00:02:57.413
- We also liked art but we knew little about it.00:03:00.413
- 00:03:00.413
- I took up going to vernissages in the early 90's.00:03:06.262
- 00:03:06.262
- I had a friend working at the Manes Exhibition Hall00:03:11.871
- 00:03:11.871
- who kept inviting me.00:03:16.950
- 00:03:16.950
- Do you collect art?00:03:21.240
- 00:03:21.240
- No, not at all.00:03:24.800
- 00:03:24.800
- People often ask me about that but I just don't.00:03:27.936
- 00:03:27.936
- I am a collector but I collect other things,00:03:33.656
- 00:03:33.656
- such as old maps and guides.00:03:38.410
- 00:03:38.410
- I'm interested in the development of Czech-German relations.00:03:42.379
- 00:03:42.379
- Your beginnings? And your Achilles's heel?00:03:48.283
- 00:03:48.283
- At the beginning,00:03:52.783
- 00:03:52.783
- it was clear that people needed to know the events' locale.00:03:55.786
- 00:03:55.786
- Facebook only gives you this invisible gray line.00:04:01.719
- 00:04:01.719
- I used it until some people asked me00:04:06.659
- 00:04:06.659
- why I didn't put there the actual address.00:04:10.996
- 00:04:10.996
- You know, for people who aren't from Prague.00:04:14.608
- 00:04:14.608
- My Achilles's heel are cafe's00:04:18.917
- 00:04:18.917
- because it's hard to take photos there.00:04:22.917
- 00:04:22.917
- How do you make up your week schedule?00:04:30.264
- 00:04:30.264
- At first I used to browse the web.00:04:34.030
- 00:04:34.030
- I didn't use ArtMap that much,00:04:38.545
- 00:04:38.545
- rather Jelibojelito because someone told me about it.00:04:43.127
- 00:04:43.127
- I also like Ludvík Hlavlíček's CCA.00:04:50.260
- 00:04:50.260
- Do you help yourself to some wine and snacks?00:04:54.322
- 00:04:54.322
- Yes, of course.00:04:58.141
- 00:04:58.141
- I go to vernissages to enjoy myself.00:05:00.641
- 00:05:00.641
- I chat with people about various things,00:05:04.294
- 00:05:04.294
- although mostly about art.00:05:09.073
- 00:05:09.073
- Do you have a time limit?00:05:14.041
- 00:05:14.041
- Well, I do, until 8 or 8:30.00:05:16.783
- 00:05:16.783
- I need to spend some time with my family.00:05:19.783
- 00:05:19.783
- But once or twice a week I stay out till 11.00:05:24.471
- 00:05:24.471
- Some vernissages are social events, after all.00:05:29.440
- 00:05:29.440
- Hello.00:05:34.700
- 00:05:34.700
- Your name? - I'm a friend of Charlie's.00:05:37.402
- 00:05:37.402
- He didn't let me down, that's good.00:05:54.742
- 00:05:54.742
- It's quite dark in here.00:06:13.668
- 00:06:13.668
- I'll have to use flash everywhere.00:06:21.860
- 00:06:21.860
- Hi. Charlie allowed me to take some photos.00:06:31.642
- 00:06:31.642
- I've only seen his works at a joint exhibition00:06:44.612
- 00:06:44.612
- at the Police Museum.00:06:49.434
- 00:06:49.434
- Quite ironic for an exhibition of underground artists.00:06:52.860
- 00:06:52.860
- I took there my last picture of Magor Jirous.00:06:58.530
- 00:06:58.530
- And where's the author?00:07:05.470
- 00:07:05.470
- I'm gonna use flash, the light is weird in here.00:07:09.647
- 00:07:09.647
- Or you know what, I'll try it both ways.00:07:14.941
- 00:07:14.941
- Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't like that.00:07:19.528
- 00:07:19.528
- Now, that's better.00:07:25.532
- 00:07:25.532
- The sidelight isn't great, but fine.00:07:29.168
- 00:07:29.168
- OK. Next, some conceptual art and then architecture.00:07:34.449
- 00:07:34.449
- The history? And how did you pick your camera?00:08:01.228
- 00:08:01.228
- I started to take photos after the Revolution.00:08:05.704
- 00:08:05.704
- Throughout the 90's, I'd go only to some vernissages00:08:11.708
- 00:08:11.708
- where I'd been invited.00:08:17.025
- 00:08:17.025
- I used a Nokia phone with a terrible VGA camera.00:08:21.411
- 00:08:21.411
- My first real camera was a Sony.00:08:27.418
- 00:08:27.418
- I liked it so I got a better Sony camera.00:08:32.031
- 00:08:32.031
- It was a gift from my family.00:08:36.811
- 00:08:36.811
- It cost 5,500 Czech crowns.00:08:41.700
- 00:08:41.700
- It had a lousy zoom but a great lens speed.00:08:45.140
- 00:08:45.140
- I'd had it for two months00:08:51.174
- 00:08:51.174
- until one day I stumbled with the camera in my hand00:08:54.338
- 00:08:54.338
- and the camera got smashed.00:08:59.606
- 00:08:59.606
- I wrote this on Facebook00:09:03.647
- 00:09:03.647
- and the photographer Michal Šeba replied he had an old Ixus00:09:06.647
- 00:09:06.647
- that would be just fine for my purposes. And it was.00:09:13.000
- 00:09:13.000
- Canon is a good brand.00:09:18.132
- 00:09:18.132
- Despite that, I later got our usual family brand Olympus,00:09:22.123
- 00:09:22.123
- which wasn't the best idea.00:09:29.135
- 00:09:29.135
- I like that it has a 12x zoom,00:09:32.738
- 00:09:32.738
- it can come in handy for vernissages.00:09:37.633
- 00:09:37.633
- But the lens speed is bad so I have to use flash,00:09:42.674
- 00:09:42.674
- and flash with this camera means blue photos.00:09:47.674
- 00:09:47.674
- Guys, try to look good, I'll be in a documentary.00:09:52.574
- 00:09:52.574
- You're my second vernissage today.00:09:57.418
- 00:09:57.418
- There will be four in total. No, five,00:10:01.918
- 00:10:01.918
- but the fifth is for the President and I don't want to risk that.00:10:05.602
- 00:10:05.602
- So let's hit the stairs. These are really tricky.00:10:12.161
- 00:10:12.161
- This looks interesting.00:10:20.590
- 00:10:20.590
- My problem with conceptual exhibitions00:10:39.068
- 00:10:39.068
- is that I often have no time to read the texts,00:10:42.954
- 00:10:42.954
- although they're crucial.00:10:47.742
- 00:10:47.742
- Sometimes I'm not sure what the exhibition was about.00:10:51.263
- 00:10:51.263
- I like this exhibition as such.00:10:56.813
- 00:10:56.813
- But there were others that I didn't get at all.00:11:00.313
- 00:11:00.313
- Bye!00:11:05.254
- 00:11:05.254
- I'm a fast gallery goer. I don't lose time.00:11:11.666
- 00:11:11.666
- I hardly ever come here, although they have good exhibitions.00:11:43.191
- 00:11:43.191
- But it's kind of far-flung for me.00:11:50.024
- 00:11:50.024
- I've always had this rule, to keep my eyes open.00:11:55.044
- 00:11:55.044
- Not only for safety, though.00:12:00.245
- 00:12:00.245
- One day a funny thing happened to me.00:12:04.454
- 00:12:04.454
- I was walking down a street in the Old Town00:12:09.934
- 00:12:09.934
- and I found an invitation lying on the sidewalk.00:12:14.323
- 00:12:14.323
- It was for a vernissage later that day so I went there.00:12:19.218
- 00:12:19.218
- I like trying new things.00:12:24.758
- 00:12:24.758
- If I ever get fed up, I'll stop doing it.00:12:28.252
- 00:12:28.252
- Among the reasons why I document the exhibitions00:12:33.532
- 00:12:33.532
- is that I never know if it's not the last time.00:12:38.637
- 00:12:38.637
- Not in my life, but the last time I do this.00:12:43.224
- 00:12:43.224
- Galleries? I won't give any names so as not to offend anyone.00:12:48.705
- 00:12:48.705
- But one gallery told me they didn't need any publicity00:12:55.675
- 00:12:55.675
- because their vernissages00:13:01.675
- 00:13:01.675
- were intended only for a group of chosen collectors.00:13:04.867
- 00:13:04.867
- Peter!00:13:09.503
- 00:13:09.503
- You're early, too. Hi!00:13:18.532
- 00:13:18.532
- We'll see. Zdeněk must be at the lecture.00:13:26.533
- 00:13:26.533
- How come? What do you plan to do there?00:13:33.349
- 00:13:33.349
- It lasts till 7:30.00:13:37.739
- 00:13:37.739
- Hello. - Hello! Your name, please?00:13:40.239
- 00:13:40.239
- My name is Berger but I may not be on the list.00:13:45.409
- 00:13:45.409
- Do you have a business card? - No, sorry.00:13:49.909
- 00:13:49.909
- I take pictures very quickly.00:13:53.830
- 00:13:53.830
- Sometimes I'm so fast that the photos get blurry.00:14:01.681
- 00:14:01.681
- At architecture exhibitions,00:14:06.647
- 00:14:06.647
- I look for visually catching works that would attract visitors.00:14:10.147
- 00:14:10.147
- My network also includes many architects00:14:18.766
- 00:14:18.766
- who use me as a source of professional information.00:14:25.064
- 00:14:25.064
- For me, architecture has a purely esthetic interest.00:14:30.991
- 00:14:30.991
- Technical aspects are less important00:14:36.531
- 00:14:36.531
- because I see architecture as art.00:14:41.100
- 00:14:41.100
- If the artist's portrait is provided, I document it as well.00:14:45.757
- 00:14:45.757
- I often watch architecture documentaries on TV.00:14:52.297
- 00:14:52.297
- I think architects, like artists,00:14:57.775
- 00:14:57.775
- understand the importance of symbiosis.00:15:01.275
- 00:15:01.275
- They know how useful it is to interconnect everything.00:15:08.230
- 00:15:08.230
- Fried olives. Interesting.00:15:19.197
- 00:15:19.197
- All right. Where did you get the wine?00:15:22.582
- 00:15:22.582
- Why do you take photos, not videos?00:15:35.744
- 00:15:35.744
- Firstly, it's easier for me.00:15:39.445
- 00:15:39.445
- Secondly, video cameras are heavier,00:15:45.013
- 00:15:45.013
- although modern still cameras can also shoot videos.00:15:48.513
- 00:15:48.513
- And thirdly, photo editing is easier than video editing.00:15:54.238
- 00:15:54.238
- I can do it on my own.00:15:59.738
- 00:15:59.738
- Hi.00:16:14.947
- 00:16:14.947
- I can repeat everything I said before, but...00:16:58.759
- 00:16:58.759
