Milan Kozelka
Conceptual artist, performer, and writer Milan Kozelka (1948‒2014) left an indelible mark on Czech art, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. He devoted himself to poetry from the 1960s onwards, and his poems are now considered part of the Czech response to American Beat literature. At the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, he turned his attention to action art.

Four words to start with. A tongue twister or a modest incantation? The first episode of the fifth curatorial cycle at Galerie Kurzor as a space for three artists to meet. Count to five, open and close your palm. What have we understood, what has escaped us? One thing is certain. We are not ourselves.

Improvisation is based on Rasa (Rasa - Indonesian term for feeling) - free musical improvisation using feelings - the inner sense of Rasa. Exercises in experimental music and free music in composition based on Rasa, using or creating objects as media that produce sounds from materials that are all around us, such as waste materials.

The exhibition is not a historical cross-section of Ester Krumbachová's work (although it does reflect it), but rather an extensive network of original material, numerous texts, images, and artifacts that Krumbachová dealt with and surrounded herself with throughout her life. It primarily presents Ester Krumbachová's archive/estate in thematically interconnected blocks, revealing her thinking about costume design, particularly the role of detail and the use of color, the interconnection of meaning, artistic form, and the overall atmosphere of a film, her work with text that copies spoken language and folk storytelling rather than high literary style, her relationship to magic, realism, subjectivity, male and female polarity, and the hierarchy of species and social and professional positions.

The word "wee" is a Scottish synonym for "little." The title A Wee Bit of Heritage represents an attempt to provide at least a small glimpse into the cultural heritage of the northern Scottish town of Wick, with a population of nearly 9,000. The town used to be a strategic fishing spot and the main port of northern Scotland. However, the situation has changed in recent years. Herring stocks have been depleted for decades, crab fishing is no longer as profitable as it used to be, the nuclear power plant has been shut down, and one of the few things that still operate here and are attractive to tourists are the distillery, the nuclear archive, and The Wick Heritage Museum.

The concept of the exhibition is based on the ideological convergence of the work of Catherine Radosa and Jaroslav Varga, which consists in revealing the physical and symbolic traces of the past. Both artists examine these relics of bygone times and eras from the perspective of collective memory and the mechanisms of its storage. A vacant lot is an empty space, a gap left by a past situation that can be filled again. The installation Colonne / Révolution captures the constant cycle of the monument in a triple projection. The period of the revolutionary Paris Commune is still a problematic period in France, similar to the period of socialism in our country: it has been and continues to be reinterpreted, tabooed, or marginalized.

The works on display were created between 2003 and 2008. I made them all during my stay in the Czech Republic. I didn't paint much in India at the time, I was just experimenting. I mostly created works on paper as tests of what I would paint on canvas. However, it often happens that the papers turn out better than the canvases. I find papers more suitable for this type of work because of their delicacy. But it is difficult to exhibit them, as they require special frames and must be placed under glass, which causes a lot of trouble. That is why I have never exhibited larger papers.

The concept of the exhibition stems from a dialogue between historical works presented in 1993 by a group of emerging artists from Ústí nad Labem at two editions of the exhibition NARUŠENÁ ROVNOVÁHA (DISTURBED BALANCE) at the Municipal House in Prague and the Emil Filla Gallery in Ústí nad Labem, and completely new projects by younger artists born in the 1980s, who had the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of Ústí nad Labem, especially during their university studies, and this experience led them to develop their authentic creative attitudes.

In today's social climate, the line between folk horror and urban myths is as thin and winding as the old streets of Prague. In our most recent historical memory, we have seen them re-enchanted by the decline in tourism and repopulated by lonely figures of stray night walkers and people excluded from society. The age-old idea of art as a mirror that allows us to see lived reality from a new perspective comes to mind, or perhaps a distorted glass surface can deform shapes and create illusions.

An international jury has selected five visual artists under the age of 35 for the 32nd annual Jindřich Chalupecký Award 2021. They are Robert Gabris, Jakub Jansa, Valentýna Janů, Anna Ročňová, and the artistic non-collective björnsonova. The five artists decided to continue the development initiated by last year's artists and not to compete for the title of laureate, which was thus awarded to all of them.
