ATELIÉRY AVU: Ateliér intermediální tvorby III
Náš ateliér je prostředím konceptuálního zkoumání, kde se učíme jak věci a jevy pojmenovat, jak jim dávat či brát tvar. Řešíme věci společně, ovlivňujeme se tak navzájem. Prověřujeme a posilujeme tím vlastní individuální přístupy. Pojem koncept vnímáme analogicky k pojmu vůle. (Tomáš Vaněk)
- Studio of Intermedia Art 3 School of Tomáš Vaněk00:00:13.941
- 00:00:13.941
- Originally, this was a studio of conceptual art.00:00:24.409
- 00:00:24.409
- I don't know if it has been so since the beginning00:00:30.253
- 00:00:30.253
- or only since the revolution. Now the official name00:00:33.627
- 00:00:33.627
- is Intermedia 3 and we use the subtitle "School of Conceptual Research".00:00:40.543
- 00:00:40.543
- Before us they used the name "School of Conceptual Art"00:00:50.368
- 00:00:50.368
- and, based on our experience and approach,00:00:56.489
- 00:00:56.489
- this title implies a totalitarian attitude.00:01:00.825
- 00:01:00.825
- I don't really like the idea of art as working with a concept.00:01:05.814
- 00:01:05.814
- That is why it is the "School of Conceptual Research".00:01:10.971
- 00:01:10.971
- I feel that the generally shared idea of conceptualism00:01:48.422
- 00:01:48.422
- or conceptual art is based on a simple idea that00:01:51.341
- 00:01:51.341
- conceptual art comes about through thinking.00:01:57.766
- 00:01:57.766
- It is about thinking, the way the thinking of the artist00:02:00.437
- 00:02:00.437
- represents itself. That is the art work.00:02:06.500
- 00:02:06.500
- Historically, it is only partially true.00:02:12.183
- 00:02:12.183
- It is the established style.00:02:18.345
- 00:02:18.345
- But today, it is much more complicated.00:02:22.115
- 00:02:22.115
- Conceptual approach is not merely about creating through thinking.00:02:26.549
- 00:02:26.549
- You have to include other influences: individual history,00:02:31.708
- 00:02:31.708
- intuition, and other important things.00:02:40.600
- 00:02:40.600
- Here, we consider concept in terms of will.00:02:45.204
- 00:02:45.204
- It is a directed will which brings things to life00:02:51.773
- 00:02:51.773
- and gives them their shape or takes it away.00:02:57.542
- 00:02:57.542
- Conceptual art in today's world is not an isolated category.00:03:00.628
- 00:03:00.628
- That is the reason for the name "School of Conceptual Research".00:03:06.131
- 00:03:06.131
- It is about the space where it is conceptually questioned -00:03:13.385
- 00:03:13.385
- meaning synthetically questioned, tested.00:03:21.935
- 00:03:21.935
- From my perspective of a teacher, the time of the questioning comes -00:03:27.639
- 00:03:27.639
- in terms of the relationship between a teacher and a student -00:03:31.074
- 00:03:31.074
- when the idea arrives and then you play with it.00:03:34.892
- 00:03:34.892
- But the student is responsible for the final outcome.00:03:44.766
- 00:03:44.766
- So in the meantime it is good for both to enjoy the process,00:03:50.459
- 00:03:50.459
- to complicate it for the sake of the thing.00:03:59.203
- 00:03:59.203
- But then there is the moment when I don't want to interfere any longer.00:04:01.949
- 00:04:01.949
- Firstly, the reason is that I don't have the right to do so,00:04:06.121
- 00:04:06.121
- I have to stop at some point because I have different experience,00:04:11.860
- 00:04:11.860
- different views on what is being discussed with the student.00:04:16.037
- 00:04:16.037
- So then it is time for the student's responsibility, egoism.00:04:18.902
- 00:04:18.902
- He becomes solely responsible, it is his business.00:04:25.598
- 00:04:25.598
- So that no one can say that it was somebody else who did it for him.00:04:30.145
- 00:04:30.145
- I am here because I feel close to what Jiří Skála00:04:40.247
- 00:04:40.247
- and Tomáš Vaněk are doing. It is similar to what I am doing.00:04:45.847
- 00:04:45.847
- It is great that we deal and talk with each other as equals.00:04:53.651
- 00:04:53.651
- I feel - how to put it - as if it were my home.00:05:02.909
- 00:05:02.909
- I like that it is an open platform, you can work in any way,00:05:15.511
- 00:05:15.511
- the discussion about it is important, you must think about it00:05:23.885
- 00:05:23.885
- but it is also playful. - It is our second year here.00:05:35.760
- 00:05:35.760
- We are still in the process of creating the right environment.00:05:43.172
- 00:05:43.172
- It is still in the process of defining things.00:05:48.554
- 00:05:48.554
- Our idea is very simple: to create an enviroment where things are shared,00:05:53.829
- 00:05:53.829
- not one ruled by an authority. I refuse to assign tasks.00:06:00.334
- 00:06:00.334
- We think that the individual involvement, interest, and thinking00:06:11.565
- 00:06:11.565
- are important. Every semester, each student must come up with00:06:19.844
- 00:06:19.844
- an individual plan. I give advice but we work00:06:23.139
- 00:06:23.139
- with each student based on this plan.00:06:27.031
- 00:06:27.031
- At the same time, we want to discuss things together -00:06:31.257
- 00:06:31.257
- in the form of presentations. Students may even come with their private matters00:06:35.122
- 00:06:35.122
- that are related to the life in the studio that are then discussed00:06:42.350
- 00:06:42.350
- and commented on by all. There is nothing exceptional about it.00:06:49.072
- 00:06:49.072
- I believe there are well-tested teaching strategies00:06:56.504
- 00:06:56.504
- such as regular consultation hours, group discussions, individual discussions,00:07:02.686
- 00:07:02.686
- or even attendance, desire to enjoy and make use of the space00:07:07.650
- 00:07:07.650
- of the studio. All this is given. Apart from it, we look for ways00:07:17.391
- 00:07:17.391
- in which we can fix it, I don't want to say to make it00:07:27.330
- 00:07:27.330
- 00:07:27.330
- more fun, but do differently what we think is not working.00:07:30.936
- 00:07:30.936
- Jiří, add something, please. - I got lost a bit. I'm sucking my finger.00:07:37.508
- 00:07:37.508
- Yes, that's all right. No, I'm joking. - It doesn't matter.00:07:44.575
- 00:07:44.575
- I only lend cameras.00:07:53.003
Prva veta Tomáše..!! až na to, že za dvadsať rokov od 1989/90 do 2010 sa názov ateliéru menil bol tlak na to aby školy sa volali výstižne, typ: Malba, Kresba atď. …je to na dlhšie, ale v skratke na začiatku r. 90 mali ateliéry volnost v názve a potrebu byť presnejší, a TENTO ateliér znel: Škola kresby s konceptuálním zaměřením (resp. Ateliér kresby s koncept. zaměřením)…postupne systém to zjednodušoval, skracoval…nežiadúce bolo slovo KRESBA, keďže „kreslí“ sa na grafike, malbe, kresbe, restaurátori tiež kreslia, a „to nejde“ aby aj koncept mal v úvahe kresbu… Takže sa to redukovalo na Školu/Ateliér konceptuálních tendencí…, konceptuální tvrba je iba byrokratické zjednodušenie aby bola intermediální, monumentální a konceptuální…čo? „tvorba“…howgh
Intermédiá 1, 2 a 3 sú ďalším krokom vlastne už len pod jedno slovo zhrnúť „tvorbu“ a tento proces je v podstate celospoločenské rozmnělnování o čo vlastne ide… Ide o to že nikto nevie vlastne nazvať vlastné pole aktivít, a vágné Intermédiá sú vlastne nevýstižné to na čom sa všetci „zhodneme“…sovo „vlastne“ je zámerne časté, keďže už to je najnejasnejšie o čo ide, ale stále cítíme, že niečo VLASTNE máme a tvoríme…(??)
