UMĚLEC MÁ CENU 2009 – CENA OD ADRIENY ŠIMOTOVÉ
Cena je předávána jako gesto mladší generace tvůrců a teoretiků vůči generaci starších umělců. Jedná se zejména o uznání, které je zprostředkováno vybranému umělci, na jehož volbě se podílí více než 100 osob z celé České republiky, kterým v době hlasování není 35 let a nominují dva umělce nad 35 let. Ze součtu došlých hlasů vzniká skupina finalistů. Věková hranice „nominátorů“ je zvolena intuitivně; charakter ceny se odvíjí od setkání každoročně obměňované poroty s finalisty v jejich ateliérech.

- I hope the winner is present.00:02:57.508
- But this is group exhibition.00:03:17.840
- I thought I was supposed to announce solo exhibition.00:03:27.015
- It is almost the same packet,00:03:38.715
- it's easy to get mixed up.00:03:41.447
- This is also a group exhibition.00:03:48.384
- It is written inside.00:03:50.370
- Well.00:03:54.043
- The best solo exhibition of the past year is Filip Turek, Kryptonormal.00:04:00.593
- We haven´t expected that, but we have wished it to him.00:04:14.787
- Is Filip Turek here?00:04:18.560
- Or the curator of the exhibition, Tomáš Pospíšil?00:04:20.437
- Tomáš, are you here?00:04:25.823
- Hi, are you glad?00:04:35.688

- it is a pity that he is not here.00:04:41.783
- Yes, it is. I have always liked him a lot.00:04:43.180
- We have known each other for a long time,00:04:49.034
- and he still looks good.00:04:50.780
- I like him too.00:04:52.246
- I don´t know what to say.00:04:53.951
- I just helped him with the installation.00:04:57.143
- The rest was his work. I will give greetings to him from you.00:05:01.511
- I will tell him to call you.00:05:06.468
- I hope we won´t make a mistake again.00:05:10.185
- Logically, now the group exhibition.00:05:12.071
- Last year it was Karel Císař´s exhibition - Young Artists Biennial at The Stone Bell Gallery.00:05:15.786
- He is in Germany, he asked Markéta Othová, to award the prize instead of him.00:05:22.600
- The best group exhibition of the past year00:05:35.804
- is the Monument of Transformation.00:05:39.778
- This is from Karel and this is from Dominik and Karel.00:05:45.520
- We haven´t expected it, so thank you very much.00:05:55.187
- I have to give you greetings from Zbyněk, he is in Egypt.00:05:58.471
- I think he is fine. I think it is much warmer there than here.00:06:02.252
- Thank you.00:06:06.458
- Every year the laureate is nominated by more than 100 artists who are younger than 35.00:06:08.224
- The young artists nominate to older ones.00:06:17.303
- The ones with the biggest number of votes00:06:20.740
- proceed to the grand finale.00:06:23.853
- Then there is a jury which picks up the laureate.00:06:26.461
- I would ask all the jury members to come here.00:06:30.807
- So Václav Magid, Eva Koťátková, Marie Herškovcová, Věra Borozan, Petra Herotová00:06:38.285
- who sends apologies. She can´t come, she is sick.00:06:47.192
- I would say a few words about our choice.00:06:57.846
- At first I would say that we were amazed by all finalists.00:07:01.889
- They all were great.00:07:17.202
- We have prepared a few words which would justify our choice.00:07:26.223
- We would like to outline it,00:07:34.262
- so you could imagine who will be this year's laureate of the Adriena Šimotová Prize.00:07:36.971
- We appreciate the creative approach which is significantly consistent,00:07:48.150
- which is mature, continuous, coherent, peculiar and consistent.00:07:57.000
- It is consistent because we said it twice.00:08:15.827
- Also, it is a solid approach.00:08:21.136
- And besides this, it reflects inner child of the author.00:08:28.109
- It also reflects other artists´ work.00:08:34.399
- However, the work is reflected in relations not in a touchy way.00:08:41.035
- He connects master control of media with balancing on the edge of discourse,00:08:51.764
- which is a significant phenomenon in the Czech art scene because00:08:58.880
- today´s discourse is liquid.00:09:05.962
- Where should I read?00:09:14.623
- It is an asymmetrical answer to social palour,00:09:19.087
- anchored in local context, but at the same time, it contravenes it.00:09:26.303
- It is emphemeral, and ambivalent.00:09:35.536
- I think we have fully characterized this year's laureate´s work.00:09:43.892
- However, you will know it after watching a short movie.00:09:55.880
- Thank you for your attention.00:09:59.943
- The Prize from Adriena Šimotová00:10:03.074
- Let´s search something shabby and ruined.00:10:38.287
- You have said "Marxova".00:10:41.608
- I think I would come from this side,00:10:56.292
- I would make a tone,00:11:02.706
- I want each of you to repeat the tone, and try to remember it.00:11:08.455
- One, two, three...00:11:36.599
- For me, there is a big difference beween the head and the body.00:12:03.222
- I want them to get closer00:12:07.132
- despite the fact that I use different principles.00:12:10.373
- In fact, it is a connection of two diverse things.00:12:18.581
- I think we will chat about it. That will be the best.00:13:16.025
- When I show you a movie that is going to be exhibited.00:13:19.575
- It is the same as the television.00:13:24.552
- The story has a mirror structure.00:13:27.693
- I will show you I drew it.00:13:32.109
- You have to show it on the camera.00:13:35.440
- The story itself, which is very important to me,00:13:39.074
- because the story deals with the situation taking place.00:13:41.393
- This is zero. Then it goes back.00:13:52.650
- He didn´t manage it for the first time, so he goes back and deeper into the past.00:13:55.816
- Indeed, everything takes place twice.00:14:00.688
- Once in the present, the second time in the past.00:14:03.395
- You can ask, if you want.00:14:07.802
- No, I don´t want to ask.00:14:09.869
- I´ve just wanted to say that I appreciate that you haven´t shown us anything.00:14:11.244
- If you like to see all my work,00:14:33.098
- you will have to be here for two days.00:14:35.149
- This one, the first one.00:14:54.193
- I take pictures of found furniture.00:15:55.763
- It is called Passive Design.00:15:58.925
- It is home-made furniture, table from a chair.00:16:01.854
- Some are not destroyed only scratched.00:16:11.775
- Everything is found in the street or it was given to me.00:16:15.783
- This is from my mother.00:16:19.173
- I have five more pieces upstairs that I found.00:16:25.241
- It is amazing, the surroundings here is rich in old furniture.00:16:27.961
- Yes, it is fantastic.00:16:31.042
- I will show you some of my preparation work.00:16:33.671
- It is a beautiful sketch book.00:16:37.155
- It is just a beginning of a new thing.00:16:40.848
- I took three.00:17:03.410
- Find them!00:17:08.296
- I won´t show them to you.00:17:11.086
- Some socks.00:17:13.342
- Hrabal. There are some drawings.00:17:16.574
- If my grandfather or father saw it, he would have told me that I was a barbarian.00:17:23.669
- You can´t do this with books.00:17:28.827
- The SS in action.00:17:30.403
- I didn´t know what for the book it is.00:17:35.411
- Once, I was given this book "Markéta".00:17:52.112
- It is a Viewegh, "The Novel for Women".00:17:54.711

- Let´s go this way.00:18:47.686
- Please, help me, it is heavy.00:18:49.812
- This was painted by a child of a student,00:19:00.598
- but I liked it so left it there.00:19:03.692
- Malevich never thought of children as a painter.00:19:07.906
- So it means that moderdnism is fucked up.00:19:13.033
- Ego art is clear. It is a reference to Viktor Frešo.00:19:15.181
- I have video paintings art.00:19:18.973
- What is it?00:19:25.676
- It is not a microwave oven.00:19:26.932
- It is not... it is an overhead projector.00:19:31.517
- I found it in the garbage, which means that it´s a ready made art.00:19:35.138
- It is not a television.00:19:39.825
- This is a Čapek. Against war.00:19:44.080
- This is a portrait of Vladimír Skrepl, today´s.00:19:50.703
- How I perceive him.00:19:54.736
