Lessons in Art / Lekce v umění

Catalogue published on the occasion of the eponymous solo exhibition by a significant figure on the Czech art scene Michal Pěchouček.

The exhibiton Lessons in Art consists of two rather dissimilar parts situated on two floors of The Stone Bell Gallery. The visitors may feel as if they attended an exhibition of two artists who have nothing in common. This is by no means a deliberate concept; lately, my work have gone in two parallel yet distinct directions, for which there is no reasonable explanation.
– Michal Pěchouček

In English and Czech. Published by Jiri Svestka gallery, 2011.

Balanced Acts, Jonathan Monk & Ariel Schlesinger

A new exhibition of collaborative works by Jonathan Monk and Ariel Schlesinger.

The starting point of this series of works was a long distance dialogue, followed by an intense discussion centered around the idea of equilibrium and the failure of finding a perfect balance.

The work of “Balance Acts” comprises of 24 photographs by Swiss duo Fischli and Weiss. Each image has been carefully manipulated, installed within its own defined setting and illuminated by what appears to be a candle stick simply stuck into a wine bottle. Real objects have been added and real objects have been removed.

Dust Show, curated by Piotr Łakomy

Dust Show is a publication that sums up activities taking place in the space of the Amager Park in Copenhagen. The project, conceived by Piotr Łakomy, was extended over a longer period, with the works installed in September and October 2010. There were also works that did not make it to their destination, to the park by the sea. Dispersal – a characteristic feature of the project – was set in order in the publication Dust Show; it was here that all the artists and their works met. As in the case of an earlier book, Dust Snow, photographs documenting the show are accompanied by a text by Sebastian Cichocki, a curator of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
Participants of Dust Snow included: Jesper Fabricius, Christopher L G Hill, Paweł Kowzan, Piotr Łakomy, Mads Lindberg, POSTER COMPANY (Max Pitegoff & Travess Smalley), Tomasz Saciłowski, TTC (Simon Højbo Hansen, Magnus Clausen, Emil Alsbo), and Honza Zamojski.
