Nikola Brabcová
Although Tomáš Knoflíček is an art historian specializing in Medieval art and teaches at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Ostrava, he is also well-known for his versatile projects dealing with contemporary art and music. He is primarily concerned with the role of art in society, above all its communication potential in public space.
Aleš Záboj
The shop with off-price drugstore products used to be in Bayerova street in Brno between 1986–1989 and it also served as an independent exhibition place.Its conception was created by Petr Oslzlý and Rostislav Pospíšil who represented the fine art and theatre area and its technical support was provided by the drugstore manager Drahomír Svatoň.
Milan Mikuláštík
Milan Mikuláštík can hardly be defined solely as a curator. He is well- known above all as a distinctive artist, member of the duo MINA (together with Jan Nálevka) and the group Guma Guar, which he co-founded in 2003. His cooperation with this group as well as his own works – often critical and dealing with political structures of the globalized world – later lead to a similarly focused curator´s work.

The initial idea behind this project was to show the work of artists who were not allowed to display their work freely before 1989 or who belonged to the semi-official art scene. Shortly after the aim was to transform the exhibition into a representative show of contemporary art.

How exactly does the selection and evaluation of artists take place in the context of art awards and, where applicable, evaluation and recognition at art colleges, exhibitions, and other projects? How relevant or "objective" is this selection and evaluation? These are long-discussed questions that have been raised even more intensely in recent years, when the climate surrounding traditional models of awarding art prizes has been changing dynamically in Czechia and abroad, and questions of the forms and ethics of cooperation, care, support, sustainability, etc. are being discussed more and more frequently.

For a long time, I didn't know what to write about this exhibition. It has no theme, the exhibiting artists have nothing in common, and their selection is purely subjective—I selfishly decided based solely on which paintings I personally found remarkable. It was only yesterday in my studio that one of the artists told me about a curator who reproached her for not providing any key to her paintings.
Grace Samboh
Born in Jakarta, Indonesia, 1984, Grace Samboh lives in between Yogyakarta and Medan, Indonesia. Due to questioning (a little bit) too many things all at once, she does curatorial work as well as research. She truly believes that every person needs at least three copies of themselves.

Four words to start with. A tongue twister or a modest incantation? The first episode of the fifth curatorial cycle at Galerie Kurzor as a space for three artists to meet. Count to five, open and close your palm. What have we understood, what has escaped us? One thing is certain. We are not ourselves.

Seventy eight artists were introduced by a reproduction of their work and a short text. This team aimed at confronting the artists and creating a parallel to work of artists who could exhibit their work officially. However, there were different limiting factors.

The traveling exhibition Rituals of Solitude, conceived during the global lockdown, explores the spread of fake news, the reversal of the traditional relationship between private and public space, the paradoxical rituals that populate homes, the ways in which visual technologies are domesticated into tools of self-presentation and connection, the accumulation, fetishization, and display of objects in home interiors; and, in addition, the states of loneliness that arise as a result of forced isolation.
Václav Magid
The name Gallery 207 is a very down-to-earth name since it comes from the number of the room at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design where the gallery was located for five years (in October 2013 it moved to room number 405 but its name remained the same). Behind the same door we can find the Studio of intermedia confrontation.
Jiří Ševčík
In their introductory text Jana and Jiří Ševčík wrote: “There was a collapse of alternatives, a loss of interest and only a marginal position remained. Seen from inside, the problem East-West still exists. For the West eastern art is interesting only if it is compatible production or produce of victims.
Ade Darmawan
In February 2019, documenta 15 issued a press release announcing the names of the artistic directors for the next edition of the world’s largest exhibition of art. The announcement included two historical firsts: The exhibition will not be organized by an individual as in the past, but by a collective (and, what is more, an artists’ collective), and this will be the first time since the exhibition’s founding in 1955 that it will be curated by representatives of the Asian continent.

Václav Magid is an artist, theoretician, curator and, last but not least, a bass player, whose activities often intertwine aspects from these close areas. As an artist on strong theoretical foundations, his curatorial projects are often conceived as an extensive artistic or theoretical project, and in his artistic work, visuality meets music.
Michal Novotný
Michal Novotný is a curator of contemporary art, who is known for his group exhibitions focusing on a particular theme, which is a genre quite difficult to prepare and not very common on the Czech art scene. The question which arises is about the relationship between individual works of art and the topic of the exhibition which they are incorporated in.

The film shows the house of Čestmír Suška and Naďa Rawová, where one of the first unofficial symposiums took place in July 1980 and which was soon followed by others (Netvořice 81, Mutějovice 83 and others). This led to a series of Confrontations (1984–1987) – exhibitions of the youngest generation of artists.
Jakub Adamec
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.
Nikola Brabcová
Her activities are interwoven with a complex web of collective bodies of various transient groups or platforms. Since 2009 she has been a member of A.M.180., a team already behind the cult festival of contemporary music Creepy Teepee, taking place every year in the medieval landscape of Kutna Hora. Like the festival itself, is not just a spectacle of monolithic music projects, but also a place for performances and visual arts, as well gallery A.M.180, where Timková works as co-curator, is a place of hybrid cultural activities.
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.
Surrounding Fucker Sam and Sam83 Gallery there sprung up and operates a space for critical and free thinking covering a lot of activities. I follow the origins, meaning and the operation of the space in the first part of NJME.
