Cena od Martina Zeta pro Karla Malicha
Iniciativa „Umělec má cenu“ je aktivitou, která proběhla v roce 2014 poosmé – po Jiřím Kovandovi, Vladimíru Skreplovi, Adrieně Šimotové, umělecké dvojici Lukáš Jasanský a Martin Polák, Václavu Stratilovi, Daliboru Chatrném, Vladimíru Kokoliovi se stal garantem ceny Martin Zet.
Cena je udělována mladými umělci, kurátory a teoretiky jejich starším kolegům.
Zhruba 600 nominujících mladších 35 let je osloveno, aby navrhli kandidáty na ocenění. Odborná porota následně navštíví kandidáty s největším počtem hlasů a z nich zvolí laureáta pro následující rok.
V porotě pro tento ročník byli Anežka Bartlová, Lumír Nykl a Lucia Sceranková.
V loňském roce získal ocenění Martin Zet a jeho přáním bylo, aby se laureátem stal Karel Malich. Součástí letošního ročníku tedy bylo symbolické předání ocenění spolu s uznáním poroty Karlu Malichovi a zároveň vyhlášení rozhodnutí poroty o vítězství Vladimíra Havlíka.
Laureátem pro rok 2015 se stal Vladimír Havlík.
Součástí ceny pro umělce nad 35 let je i vyhlášení ankety o nejlepší skupinovou a samostatnou výstavu a také dílo roku.

- Now I would like to ask the jury to present their verdict00:00:31.241
- 00:00:31.241
- and the name od this year´s winner of the Martin Zet Award for Karel Malich.00:00:37.813
- 00:00:37.813
- We were received by Karel Malich with a fair-mindedness and to talk with him was a great experience.00:00:48.385
- 00:00:48.385
- It was clear that he was the winner already.00:00:53.625
- 00:00:53.625
- He is an inseparable part of the Czech post-war art scene00:00:56.267
- 00:00:56.267
- and a source of inspiration, he is known for his typical approach to his work - "in the morning I just plunge into it"00:01:00.661
- 00:01:00.661
- as well as for his distinctive and immediate results of his work.00:01:07.767
- 00:01:07.767
- He is a walking legend, he works ceaselessly every day,00:01:11.656
- 00:01:11.656
- stories about flying birds in case of his art are not only of sentimental value,00:01:15.316
- 00:01:15.316
- we esteem Karel Malich and his priceless and imprescriptible work.00:01:21.323
- 00:01:21.323
- Zbyněk Baladrán´s approach to his work is completely different.00:01:30.108
- 00:01:30.108
- Careful preparation, consideration, checking and probing00:01:34.242
- 00:01:34.242
- result in sophisticated installations or videos.00:01:37.310
- 00:01:37.310
- In a long discussion with us he showed he was a man of broad knowledge and insight.00:01:40.269
- 00:01:40.269
- Fragmented attention, which reassembles into one whole again,00:01:47.570
- 00:01:47.570
- silicone fingers helping him to escape from common schemes and cigarette smoke,00:01:51.377
- 00:01:51.377
- but above all the coordinated and slightly intuitive circular movement finally showed00:01:56.118
- 00:01:56.118
- that Zbyněk Baladrán with his topics and approach to art is perhaps closer to us than we had expected.00:02:01.569
- 00:02:01.569
- 00:02:06.669
- 00:02:06.669
- 00:02:06.669
- Despite of what has been said here just now, we have decided to award the prize to Vladimír Havlík,00:02:15.306
- 00:02:15.306
- 00:02:26.368
- 00:02:26.368
- 00:02:26.368
- Vladimír Havlík convinced us mainly by his lively explanation of principles, ideas and processes of past and future actions,00:02:38.723
- 00:02:38.723
- any idea which is enthusiastically voiced is shortly after impeached by him,00:02:48.746
- 00:02:48.746
- thus bringing to trial its functioning.00:02:54.998
- 00:02:54.998
- We also appreciate his efforts to pass to his students his knowledge00:02:57.440
- 00:02:57.440
- and snippets of thoughts about things to come.00:03:02.811
- 00:03:02.811
- Havlík keeps going back to performances from the00:03:06.808
- 00:03:06.808
- 00:03:06.808
- testing what message they convey today,00:03:13.107
- 00:03:13.107
- and how such updating is possible.00:03:15.431
- 00:03:15.431
- His self-critical experience questions the simplified perception00:03:18.841
- 00:03:18.841
- of the Czechoslovak cultural scene of the 70s and 80s00:03:24.323
- 00:03:24.323
- as a clash of pro- and counter-regime culture.00:03:28.334
- 00:03:28.334
- He helps to understand that there is never only "either" or "or".00:03:32.677
- 00:03:32.677
- 00:03:38.424
- 00:03:38.424
- 00:03:38.424
- I don´t want to say anything, I just want to say thank you.00:03:49.549
- 00:03:49.549
- I´m shocked because I thought Dadaism was gone at the end of the 1920s00:03:52.740
- 00:03:52.740
- and the fact that Vladimír Havlík can be awarded the Martin Zet Award for Karel Malich will remain a mystery for me.00:04:00.539
- 00:04:00.539
- Thank you, everybody.00:04:09.978
- 00:04:09.978
- 00:04:10.771
- 00:04:10.771
- 00:04:10.771
- Martin gave his award to Karel Malich in the morning, he gave him one of his drawings,00:04:15.282
- 00:04:15.282
- and he also got an award from Karel Malich,00:04:22.107
- 00:04:22.107
- and then he pulled out a branch and gave it to me.00:04:26.711
- 00:04:26.711
- Only now I realized that this was the award. Why did I get a branch?00:04:31.283
- 00:04:31.283
- It´s a sceptre.00:04:40.936
- 00:04:40.936
- I see, it´s a sceptre.00:04:42.603
- 00:04:42.603
- Well, I could have guessed. Thank you.00:04:45.367
- 00:04:45.367
- 00:04:49.126
- 00:04:49.126
- 00:04:49.126
- Before I got any award, they used to ask me what I would wish if I got an award.00:04:58.921
- 00:04:58.921
- And I used to answer that I would like Karel Malich to get the award.00:05:07.114
- 00:05:07.114
- So finally it all got a bit mixed up and I could no longer understand it or keep it under control.00:05:14.426
- 00:05:14.426
- Perhaps the jury could explain it later.00:05:25.580
- 00:05:25.580
- They like casting doubt on what art is and what perhaps captured their attention was the fact00:05:29.934
- 00:05:29.934
- that somebody has a completely different approach,00:05:42.122
- 00:05:42.122
- they are more interested in how to create non-art,00:05:47.582
- 00:05:47.582
- but at the same time of course I´m still such a coward that I present it as art.00:05:52.272
- 00:05:52.272
- But I´m interested in what is before, the process, the performative imagination, thoughts,00:06:06.831
- 00:06:06.831
- and when it´s ready, I´m interested much less in it.00:06:16.458
- 00:06:16.458
- Can you show the viewers of Artyčok your famous thumb?00:06:22.004
- 00:06:22.004
- Yes, of course.00:06:26.621
