Tereza Jindrová

Throughout his life, Chalupecký promoted and defended new artistic trends and was interested in general questions of art, especially the meaning of art in modern society. He was a defender of art in connection with life. In today's terms, we could perhaps use the term activist or engaged art. He did not believe in the purely aesthetic function of art and culture in general.
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.
How exactly does the selection and evaluation of artists take place in the context of art awards and, where applicable, evaluation and recognition at art colleges, exhibitions, and other projects? How relevant or "objective" is this selection and evaluation? These are long-discussed questions that have been raised even more intensely in recent years, when the climate surrounding traditional models of awarding art prizes has been changing dynamically in Czechia and abroad, and questions of the forms and ethics of cooperation, care, support, sustainability, etc. are being discussed more and more frequently.
Contemporary curating has undergone changes. From efforts to build distance and protect a balanced reflexive position it has shifted towards empathy, cooperation and attempts to dehierarchize. Naturally, this is not always the case, but Jakub Adamec is a good example of the fruit that this type of curatorial work may bear.
Václav Magid is an artist, theoretician, curator and, last but not least, a bass player, whose activities often intertwine aspects from these close areas. As an artist on strong theoretical foundations, his curatorial projects are often conceived as an extensive artistic or theoretical project, and in his artistic work, visuality meets music.
VI PER Gallery focuses on architecture in the broadest sense, together with its relations and points of intersection with contemporary art, urbanism, design and media, as well as the political, legal, social, economic and ecological contexts which help to shape architecture and the built environment.
Tereza Stejskalová is one of the most prominent feminist and critical voices on the Czech art scene. At present, she works as a curator in the initiative tranzit.cz and in the long term focuses on art critique.
As a curator, Stejskalová often works through postcolonial and feministic prism and her curatorial practice is typically an outcome of a long term research.
