Hlad – 5. ročník festivalu performance

• We have been invited to curate the 5th Festival of Performance together.00:00:26.417
• 00:00:26.417
• Lexa lives in Sweden and Prague, so he is in charge of the Swedish part,00:00:34.006
• 00:00:34.006
• and I´m in charge of the Czech performances.00:00:41.927
• 00:00:41.927
• We have chosen the theme of hunger00:00:45.400
• 00:00:45.400
• because it has many connotations,00:00:47.003
• 00:00:47.003
• social and existential ones,00:00:49.622
• 00:00:49.622
• the theme involves many things,00:00:52.383
• 00:00:52.383
• we can experience hunger as a physical deprivation00:00:56.456
• 00:00:56.456
• as well as intellectual hunger or the need of sensual satisfaction,00:01:00.738
• 00:01:00.738
• including unfulfilled hopes.00:01:04.426
• 00:01:04.426
• This theme is multilayered00:01:06.464
• 00:01:06.464
• and we like it because it enables us to compare the two countries,00:01:08.267
• 00:01:08.267
• their art and the present state of society in both countries00:01:14.438
• 00:01:14.438
• and the way it reflects in art.00:01:19.322
• 00:01:19.322
• I got this idea about a year ago,00:01:38.658
• 00:01:38.658
• I follow the art scenes in both countries,00:01:40.455
• 00:01:40.455
• and there are some similarities -00:01:44.003
• 00:01:44.003
• the age of artists, both scenes originated at the same time,00:01:47.039
• 00:01:47.039
• in Stockholm almost out of nothing,00:01:51.105
• 00:01:51.105
• there was no continuity of art performances there.00:01:53.988
• 00:01:53.988
• As Darina already said the scenes can be connected00:02:00.342
• 00:02:00.342
• only through such a broad theme00:02:10.723
• 00:02:10.723
• because both the art scenes and the conditions in both countries are different.00:02:16.226
• 00:02:16.226
• There are different social systems, reactions to different things,00:02:23.215
• 00:02:23.215
• basic emotions are a bit shifted,00:02:28.554
• 00:02:28.554
• so they cannot be compared verbally,00:02:30.502
• 00:02:30.502
• you can only arrange to bring the people together.00:02:35.348
• 00:02:35.348
• There is no history of art performance they could turn to at home at present.00:02:40.358
• 00:02:40.358
• So they turn to art abroad and try to bring foreign art to Stockholm,00:02:46.830
• 00:02:46.830
• which is so far away geographically.00:02:57.236
• 00:02:57.236
• For them it´s always a new beginning but with what they choose from world art.00:03:00.461
• 00:03:00.461
• That´s where they learn over and over again.00:03:06.308
• 00:03:06.308
• I don´t want to deny everything and say there was no history of performance at all,00:03:10.056
• 00:03:10.056
• it just did not stand out enough.00:03:15.810
• 00:03:15.810
• Our idea was to dedicate the exhibition to Milan Kozelka,00:05:07.848
• 00:05:07.848
• which is not easy,00:05:15.998
• 00:05:15.998
• because if taken seriously,00:05:17.303
• 00:05:17.303
• it would take a really long time to get all his things together,00:05:20.241
• 00:05:20.241
• all his texts and videos and prepare a retrospective exhibition.00:05:26.129
• 00:05:26.129
• Perhaps not enough time has passed since his death.00:05:29.108
• 00:05:29.108
• We collaborated with Sráč Sam, a curator and artist,00:05:33.137
• 00:05:33.137
• and Denisa Bytelová and Alena Zikmundová,00:05:41.108
• 00:05:41.108
• the authors of this exhibition,00:05:44.788
• 00:05:44.788
• and who sort of enlivened Milan´s work here00:05:48.236
• 00:05:48.236
• displaying certain photographs and objects,00:05:53.566
• 00:05:53.566
• and they even included a recording00:05:57.280
• 00:05:57.280
• on which he partly tells everyone to fuck off and partly recites poetry.00:06:00.968
• 00:06:00.968
• This installation is dedicated to Milan and it´s a way how to remember him.00:06:22.481
• 00:06:22.481
• You can see Lexa´s part of the program tomorrow at the clinic.00:07:26.176
• 00:07:26.176
• Tomorrow evening we´ll see the Swedish art scene.00:07:28.777
• 00:07:28.777
• Then in autumn a selection of performances from this festival will be presented in Stockholm.00:07:31.805
• 00:07:31.805
• So that´s another dramatic preparation for an unknown audience.00:07:41.295
• 00:07:41.295
• This will be the culmination of this whole event.00:07:50.033
