Mark Ther

I regard Mark Ther’s work as classic and extraordinary. Moreover he’s probably our only student artist. Or at least he would like to be. In my selection he is the star. A lot of things were said about him and it would be better if the things we don’t know won’t be completely revealed and will become a part of a myth.

Key to the selection are different approaches of the artists to the the video medium. For Petr Krátký is video a contemporary fulfillment of his conceptual attitude, Mark Ther is familiar with a film language, and Macula uses video as a design strategy.

How do bodies queer at the molecular level? How is this queering inextricably tied to industrial capitalism? And is there a way out of capitalist ruins, one that has been further exacerbated by the pandemic?
Kateryna Khramtsova filmed a short documentary about a non-binary performer and soldier entitled Qirim (2023), which has been screened at many film festivals, both here and abroad. In the accompanying essay, Kryštof Kočtář presents the film in the context of Khramtsova's artistic work.
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.
