KNIFE IS ON THE CHAIR

Giles Bunch’s video piece which is a response to the Kitchen being a place of ritual, habit, tasks and gender. It does not lack serious acting of slapstick, nor stupidity of midnight kitchen party. Giles Bunch himself teetering on the edge of embarrassment, a symbol of our everyday life.

KNIFE IS ON THE CHAIR
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.
For over a century, the factory in Střekov has influenced the structure of the city and the quality of life of its inhabitants. During the period of industrial development, Johann Schicht and his descendants built civic amenities in the city – a health center, spas, nurseries, a library, and residential buildings for their workers. After the company was nationalized, production continued and continued to employ a large number of newly settled residents. The national company Setuza also brought its employees together and enabled them to participate in "extracurricular activities," primarily in events organized by the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement, which included the organization of International Women's Day celebrations, St. Nicholas Day gifts, and children's camps.
