The Gallerists 07 - Zahorian & Van Espen
Jiří Havlíček
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.
Vít Havránek
As we can see in the program of Tranzit, Havránek´s theoretical interest is not closely concerned with the autonomous position of visual art but he always reflects its broader global and political context.
