• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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
