Fetish Visitor Rates

Recently we could witness different attempts of leading cultural institutions in the Czech Republic to attract the attention of the broadest public.

At the end of February 2016 the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) published the results of a research they conducted, according to which the most serious problem for potential visitors is a striking lack of leisure time.

We spoke to a number of people working in museums and galleries, directors, curators and public relations specialists and asked them what they thought of the present situation and what should be done to improve the quality of communication with visitors.

In this video Artyčok.TV examines Artbanka with a critical eye. Artbanka defines itself as being a non-profit project that helps young artists to get their foot in the door of this competitve art world. Under closer inspection one discovers the project is not as charitable as it first appears. After purchasing young Czech and Slovak artists' work, Artbanka rents or lends the work to individuals and companies. Artbanka has closely colaborated with City Gallery Prague, and this video scrutinises the two institutions' relationship through a series of interviews that highlights their somewhat sketchy partnership.
Dominik Lang has been involved in exhibition design for a long time. However, unlike other artists, his approach differs in the degree to which he emphasizes the creative aspects of the profession. The result often oscillates between exhibition design and autonomous installation while he himself admits that he deliberately violates this boundary. For this reason, he prefers the term "author of the exhibition's artistic design" or "author of the spatial design".
