    For this edition, we visited the Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover to meet Klára Hosnedlová. In collaboration with the Kestner Gesellschaft, she prepared her first institutional solo exhibition 'To Infinity'. Let's introduce you to her work. Klára Hosnedlová was born in the Czech Republic and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno. She lives and works in Berlin. Her work combines craft, fashion, design, architecture, sculpture and performance. She uses these tools to create immersive environments that explore the uncertainties of the post-industrial world. Her work has been shown in numerous group and solo exhibitions, including X Museum, Beijing (2022), at the Art Basel Parcours, Basel (2021) or at the Baltic Triennial 14: The Endless Frontier, Vilnius (2021). The exhibition To Infinity at the Kestner Gesellschaft is her first institutional solo show and has become the Kestner Gesellschaft's most ambitious project for the season. We spoke to the artist herself, the in-house curator Alexander Wilmschen and the director of the Kestner Gesellschaft Adam Budak about the show.

    In the 29th issue of Contemporary Czech Art, we introduce you to visual artist Radek Brousil, whose works you can see in the current exhibition Deep rivers run quiet at our gallery. Radek Brousil is a visual artist based in Prague. In his works, he refers to theproblematic effects of human behaviour towards nature and accentuates their influence on the human psyche. His work is characterised by the combination of interdisciplinary research, facts, photography, textiles and video format, which enables him to grasp the phenomena in a more complex way. In his compositions, he uses a very sophisticated yet clear visual language, which he combines with the installation of photographs within more complex objects. Radek Brousil studied photography at the Academy of Art, Architecture and Design in Prague, and also completed an internship at Concordia University in Montreal and at the London College of Communication. Currently, his works can be seen in the exhibition Deep rivers run quiet, which takes place in the gallery of the Czech Centre Berlin.

    In der 26. Ausgabe von Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin stellen wir die Künstlerin Nina Plášková (geb. 1997 in Brno) vor, die in Tschechien und der Schweiz aufgewachsen ist und seit 2018 an der Kunsthochschule Weißensee studiert. Ihr Schaffen hat der Philosoph Knut Ebeling folgendermaßen charakterisiert: „Ihr von Ortswechseln und Umzügen geprägtes Aufwachsen verarbeitet die Künstlerin in der Form einer stark autobiographisch geprägten Kunst, die sich aus den Reservoirs von persönlichen Kindheitserinnerungen ebenso speist wie aus der Bewegung der Romantik und ihrem sozialen Umfeld. Eine zentrale Rolle spielen hier Ninas Träume, die den Dreh- und Angelpunkt ihrer Arbeit bilden und über die sie ein akribisches Traumtagebuch führt. Aus diesem bringt sie immer wieder Traumsequenzen zur Aufführung und Ausstellung in ihren solide und handwerklich gekonnt gearbeiteten Werken.“ Aktuell stellt Nina Plášková im Rahmen der Gruppenausstellung Asynchronicity of Now (12. 02. – 26. 03. 2022) in der Galerie Bernau aus. Im Gespräch mit der Künstlerin und der Leiterin der Galerie Bernau, Frederiek Weda, stellen wir Nina Pláškovás Arbeit sowie die aktuelle Ausstellung vor.

    The first artist with Czech origins who we will present after the summer break in the series Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin is Jan Smejkal (born 1948 in Beroun, CZ). Jan Smejkal studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague in 1967 and then continued his studies at Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main from1968. He is mostly interested in the process of capturing moments in his drawings and transmitting them into paintings. Since 2000 he lived for about twenty years in Berlin and together with his partner Ljuba Beránková he ran the gallery space Bleibtreu. In his work, he focuses on the capturing of different records of impressions, impulses, pieces of things, details on postcard format papers, which he produces wherever he is and creates a huge archive with drawn memories. These records are then transmitted to paintings, text walls or postcards. He applies words in different ways on a monochromatic canvas so that the viewer himself can compose his own sentences. The paintings with inscriptions should be understood as a whole. He presented some paintings on this year's Positions at the booth of the Hilgemann.art Gallery. We took that as an occasion to make this interview and Instagram Takeover. You can find more info on Jan Smejkal on his website: https://jan-smejkal.com

    Aufnahme aus dem Tschechischen Zentrum Berlin vom 30.01.2019 Markéta Pilátová erinnert in ihrer in der Edition Tschechische Auslese veröffentlichten Novelle an den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg und seine in Vergessenheit geratenen Helden. Die spanische Studentin Carmen begegnet dem ehemaligen Interbrigadisten František, der als junger Mann die Tschechoslowakei verließ, um in Spanien zu kämpfen. Gemeinsam versuchen sie die Frage zu beantworten, was einen Mann dazu bringt, in einem fremden Land für seine Ideale zu kämpfen. Markéta Pilátová wurde 1973 in Kroměříž geboren. Nach einem Studium der Romanistik und Geschichte lehrte sie an Universitäten in Tschechien und Spanien, unterrichtete Tschechisch in Brasilien und Argentinien und arbeitete als Journalistin. Ihre literarischen Werke sind alles andere als alltäglich, sie erinnern an Beschwörungsformeln, Zaubersprüche, Hexerei, sind wild, chaotisch, phantastisch. Am ehesten dem magischen Realismus zuzuordnen. Stets voll Elan und Genuss.

    In the 10th issue of the series Contemporary Czech Art I would like to introduce Jakub Valenta, who is an artist and software developer. He has been living in Berlin for the last four years. Most of Jakub’s projects are digital, usually presented as a web page, in an intentionally unaesthetic form, or using common technology such as a calendar app, Google documents, emojis, or Twitter. He often creates periodically updated collections of material he discovers. Jakub’s work can be seen as a series of short comments on our current society with a sense of appreciation for the bizarre aspects of everyday life. Several of his projects take a personal point of view and test the boundaries of privacy. In this interview we speak e.g. about his corona-inspired art project on Twitter, where he collects chances and opportunities, that covid-19 gives us. Or about the 35 emojis that go beyond the hugs and kisses of the standard emoji set and why he addedan emoji of the typical czech meal Svíková.

In 2019 they completed the Berlin Sessions Residency and a residency at ZK/U, the Center for Art and Urbanistics in Berlin. These were the impulse for them to stay in Berlin. In their work, they examine the impact of the neoliberal chase after non-stop productivity. They are interested in the symptoms of the diseased society.
