LIMITS OF TOLERANCE
Václav Drozd
They are often presented as condescending patrons of arts, who have decided to put aside a couple of their millions and contribute to public welfare and the promotion of exquisite culture. However, their seemingly good intentions should be seen with view to the context of the troubled political and economic past of our (and not only our) country. We should know how they acquired their property and what social or ecological damage they caused while amassing their fortune.

At the end of 2012 there were five candidates for the position of the director of the House of Arts in Brno. The Brno Townhall refused to make their names public referring to the personal data protection law.The selection committee  recommended Terezie Petišková. One of the two unsuccessful candidates was the previous director Rostislav Koryčánek who was removed from office immediately after the announcement of the results by the selection committee. The reasons for this premature removal from office remained unexplained.
