ARTSCAPE.CZ
Projekt Pavlíny Morganové je vizualizací sítě vztahů na aktuální výtvarné scéně. Autorka vyzvala několik umělců z nejmladší generace, aby jmenovali pět pro sebe nejbližších a nejdůležitějších osobností v kontextu současného výtvarného umění. Jmenovaných se pak ptala dál na tu samou otázku, aby během ročního korespondenčního projektu zmapovala podstatnou část aktuální scény. Výsledkem je mapa české umělecké krajiny (nebo-li artscape) ukazující stovky vazeb a klíčové osobnosti.

- The idea of this project occured to me00:00:04.009
- 00:00:04.009
- during Christmas of 2007.00:00:07.188
- 00:00:07.188
- I felt compelled to establish a map00:00:11.547
- 00:00:11.547
- of the contemporary Czech art scene.00:00:14.722
- 00:00:14.722
- I was interested00:00:18.892
- 00:00:18.892
- in the way it is now supported00:00:21.196
- 00:00:21.196
- by a network of galleries led by artists00:00:25.358
- 00:00:25.358
- and in the role of people grouped00:00:29.610
- 00:00:29.610
- around the particular projects.00:00:33.412
- 00:00:33.412
- I wanted to find out the way it works.00:00:35.986
- 00:00:35.986
- So I started sending e-mails.00:00:38.921
- 00:00:38.921
- First I asked three young artists00:00:42.156
- 00:00:42.156
- to name five personages they considered00:00:45.809
- 00:00:45.809
- important to the contemporary scene,00:00:49.014
- 00:00:49.014
- personages not important because of the quality00:00:52.275
- 00:00:52.275
- of their creative work,00:00:58.167
- 00:00:58.167
- but rather people with whom they discuss00:01:01.951
- 00:01:01.951
- their own work or collaborate,00:01:05.464
- 00:01:05.464
- people they count among their friends.00:01:09.859
- 00:01:09.859
- And I sent the same question00:01:15.478
- 00:01:15.478
- to these people.00:01:17.978
- 00:01:17.978
- So it worked like a pyramid scheme.00:01:20.109
- 00:01:20.109
- The project took me a whole year.00:01:23.934
- 00:01:23.934
- I finished it on New Year's Eve of 2007.00:01:27.295
- 00:01:27.295
- Until then, I collected00:01:31.371
- 00:01:31.371
- about 400 names of artists.00:01:34.829
- 00:01:34.829
- I didn't try to establish the quality,00:01:37.915
- 00:01:37.915
- the importance of the artists00:01:40.965
- 00:01:40.965
- resulted from the number of times00:01:43.982
- 00:01:43.982
- they were mentioned.00:01:46.306
- 00:01:46.306
- I think one year is enough time00:01:48.510
- 00:01:48.510
- to get good results, I don't say objective,00:01:55.098
- 00:01:55.098
- but quite significant results.00:01:59.776
- 00:01:59.776
- The project was long enough00:02:04.429
- 00:02:04.429
- and I got a large number of responses.00:02:07.903
- 00:02:07.903
- Of course, the fact that00:02:11.655
- 00:02:11.655
- among the most frequently mentioned00:02:14.374
- 00:02:14.374
- were Jiří Kovanda and Vladimír Skrepl00:02:17.151
- 00:02:17.151
- is not a mere accident.00:02:20.097
- 00:02:20.097
- It shows that these two artists,00:02:22.679
- 00:02:22.679
- along with many others,00:02:26.142
- 00:02:26.142
- play an important role in the contemporary scene.00:02:29.320
- 00:02:29.320
- The result of the project00:02:36.320
- 00:02:36.320
- that is presented here wouldn't exist00:02:39.115
- 00:02:39.115
- without the programming skills00:02:42.978
- 00:02:42.978
- of Marek Růžička from E-area00:02:45.158
- 00:02:45.158
- who made the project work00:02:48.191
- 00:02:48.191
- and allowed us to see00:02:51.176
- 00:02:51.176
- this complicated network00:02:53.279
- 00:02:53.279
- with thousands of connections.00:02:55.279
- 00:02:55.279
