FUTURA
  • Eugenio Percossi: I don´t wanna die but I ain´t keen on living either (3.12.-3.1.10) The monumental dyptich „I want to. I“ stands at the centre of the exhibition, both physically and conceptually. The artist has been writing thousands times, obsessively, for months, the same two sentences. I want to live. I want to die. The two contrasting emotions are so balanced to stop any action in a neutral, inbetween zone. The individual is unable to act, paralysed into a suspended state, still vibrating in a mantra-like performance of self-imposed restraint. The result is a minimal, monochrome-like painting that sets strong, clashing emotions into a seemingly detached, classic form.
  • Jitka Mikulicová: Černoušek Bu Bu (29.10.- 22.11.2009)I spent my childhood growing up in the context of a homogenous society in the Czech Republic. Despite the political propaganda preached in school about racial and national equality, after I forgot to shut the door behind myself at school, I was questioned about the “ownership of a black servant”.
  • COMPLEX a development project for Karlin Studios (1.10.- 18.10.2009) The past 40 years have been strongly reflected up on our surrounding. Between 1970 and 1989, prefabricated-building housing estates have flooded the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and even today constitute two thirds of apartments found in these countries. After the revolution, the roaring activity of the housing industry invaded the suburbs with large housing colonies, also known as satellites.
  • Třebešice VII. (3.9.- 20.9.2009) A vital part of the annual residency stay at Chateau Třebešice is an exhibition of residents, the last of events at the end of every year’s project. Similarly to the past couple of years, we remain faithful to this tradition and introduce new works, this year by Krištof Kintera (cz), Regina José Galindo (gu), David Pérez Karmadavis (dom) and the art duo Lucía Tkáčová and Anetta Mona Chisa (sk/ro), artists and participants of Residence Třebešice 09.
  • Maddalena Mauri: A strictly personal story (6.8.- 30.8.2009) In the Karlin Studios exhibition, 'a strictly personal story', Maddalena Mauri represents her relationship to her 'landscape vision', in which she involves her own present and her imagery, almost like some XX century poets who, through their eyes, saw whole landscapes get populated and then disappear. She collects the matter: coloured, brushed lands. She summons them on the walls to let them rise
  • Regina José Galindo: Crisis / Blood (26.7.2009) At the occasion of summer workshops at Châteaux Třebešice 2009, will FUTURA introduce the internationally renowned artist from Guatemala Regina José Galindo.
  • Regina José Galindo: Crisis / Hair (5.8.2009 v 19:00) At the occasion of summer workshops at Châteaux Třebešice 2009, will FUTURA introduce the internationally renowned artist from Guatemala Regina José Galindo.
  • Dominik Lang: Storage (8.7.- 26.7.2009) In relation to bringing objects into the gallery, Dominik Lang is a moderate artist, who prefers to work on the periphery of the space. In this respect he makes use of borders of the art world, which have their own strength, their own inside and outside.
  • Radeq Brousil: Study of a Young Man (4.6.- 24.6.2009) As the title suggests, the concept of the project is based on the study of a man. The study is focused on a particular individual and his physical characteristics, and is presented as a conceptual project not as a typologically scientific study.
  • Head (29.4.- 29.5.2009) It is not unnatural to try and understand a work of art though the personality of its author. Through available biographical data, we formulate a schema in which facts from personal life correlate with various aspects of the work. Artists continuous struggle with material and form appear as a story of an individual trying to deal with reality. When trying to classify and present various techniques preceding the creation of an art work, we classify and uncover different levels of a continuously changing relationship of a particular individual to his own world.
  • Tomáš Svoboda: Exposition (26.3.- 19.4.2009) A basic technique describing the history and the major developments in film, can be offered in three dates: 1895 ( first time screening tickets are sold to the wide public), 1922 (the first screening with synchronized sound) and 1935 (the premier of the first movie in color).
  • Míla Preslová: Beyond the Horizon (19.2.- 15.3.2009) Photographs by Míla Preslová do not need a commentary. Her images have a clear and understandable impressiveness. During the 90's we have admired her clear concepts and the courage to present her private worries.
  • Štěpánka Šimlová: Neon (15.1.- 8.2.2009) The work of Štepánka Šimlová has played a fundamental part in defining and incorporating media painting into Czech art. Her unique technique, characterized through the use of an expressive media language unclosed the romantic and many times moving levels imbedded in her work and connected them with elements of melancholic irony.
