The artists in the exhibition question the structures according to which the public is constituted, implying different political and social patterns based on aesthetic assumptions as arbitrary moments. How can visible aspects of a city and its surrounding space refer to a hidden background? How can different, social, political or tourist-oriented purposes appear on the surface of a traditionally conservative yet identity-generating cityscape?
Hidden Publics analyzes a specific kind of otherness - or in a Lacanian sense, the reverse side of the mirror - which is required for an understanding of the whole identity of the self, with its inner tensions and conflicts. How can moments of urban life be visualized as a whole, i.e. how can their inner and outer structures be revealed as the results of incoherent strategies of organization?

100 YEARS OF THE BRNO HOUSE OF ARTS
House of Arts, House of The Lords of Kunštát, G99 Gallery, Brno, Czech Republic
www.dum-umeni.cz/cz
December 15, 2010 - February 13, 2011
The exhibition takes place at the Brno House of Arts and at Dům Pánu z Kunštátu concurrently. This exhibition prepared for the 100th anniversary of the existence of this cultural institution in Brno (originally the Kaiser Franz Josefs Jubiläums Künstlerhaus) marks an important era in its activity including confrontation with what is currently happening in Brno. An extensive presentation in two locations, it familiarizes us with the history of the buildings' construction, including archived material and posters. The inter-war period is relayed through examples of work by the German and Austrian members of the local artist's collective. The era of the 1950s and 1960s, when the Brno House of Arts became an important cultural center, is reflected through examples of work by the founding artists of Czech modern art and members of Brno's creative groups. Work by artists who's work differed from the official ideology of the “normalization” era, (at the time their exhibiting at the Brno House of Arts was a unique undertaking) will be featured in the exhibition. The exhibition's final section is made up of work by several international art world personalities from the turn of the millennium and a collection of photographs by various authors, representing different chapters in Czech photography. An independent component of the overall project will be the presentation of the G99 Gallery, focused on the youngest generation of artists.Prezentace činnosti Galerie G99 za posledních 11 let je koncipována jako konceptuální instalace odrážející pohled do uskutečněných výstav pomocí jednoduchého vzorce výběru uměleckých děl spojených s jednou konkrétní stěnou galerie. Chronologické časové řazení umožní divákovi podílet se na fragmentovaném díle, které odkazuje k možnému výkladu směřování činnosti galerie. V zadní místnosti G99 bude prezentováno galerijní zázemí v jeho institucionálním rámci. Koncepci výstavy vytvořil Dominik Lang a bude zde k vidění kolem 40 výbraných uměleckých děl či jejich recyklátů.

Výstava bude mapovať tvorbu súčasných slovenských a českých autoriek, ktoré reflektujú aktuálne témy, akými sú telo, pamäť, vzťahy, sexualita. Je pravidlom, že keď sa realizuje výstava autoriek, ktoré pracujú s telom alebo sexualitou, automaticky sa predpokladá, že pôjde o projekt spojený s otázkami feminizmu. Zámerom výstavy však nie je opierať sa o feminizmus ako o jediné možné východisko, ale ani sa voči nemu vymedziť negatívne. Cieľom predkladaného projektu je pokúsiť sa pozrieť na tento problém z inej perspektívy. Pre projekt, ktorému bude predchádzať výskum bude dôležité zadefinovať si základné otázky, ktoré s problematikou súvisia a prostredníctvom výstavy a vybraných diel sa pokúsiť na ne hľadať odpovede.

Crazycurators Biennale sa pokúša predstaviť alternatívu voči megalomanským bienále, v ktorých sa individuálny prístup a komunikácia umelca a kurátora s divákom často stráca. Naopak, koncepcia Crazycurators Biennale je založená na úzkej a systematickej spolupráci umelca a kurátora, pričom každý kurátor je zodpovedný za výber maximálne jedného umelca. Tento rok
predstaví súčasné svetové umenie z dvanástich európskych krajín až v troch galériách.

The exhibition Hidden Publics investigates the different moments of perceiving public space and its inherent structures, which coin the urban cityscape, but are not necessarily visible as such. The artists in the exhibition question the structures according to which the public is constituted, implying different political and social patterns based on aesthetical assumptions as arbitrary moments. They hint at the dichotomy between the visible and its actual meaning for the public. The photographic apparatus or the camera serves as a tool for observation. The media of photography and video with their direct realtion to reality become decisive factors to determine the contents of visible everyday scenarios.

LAND OF HUMAN RIGHTS - 3rd poster campaign
One integral part of the long-term project “Land of Human Rights” is a poster campaign. Starting in September 2007, a set of 4 posters will be printed every half a year. The front side of the posters will present works of artists on current human rights issues and on the back side there will be short texts of human rights activists, theorists or people affected by human rights. The aim of the campaign is to inform the people about their rights in connection with the human rights and to raise awareness of current human rights issues in a large part of the population.

Seven Women Artists from the Czech Republic
The exhibition shows works by seven significant Czech women artists who, with the means of different media (video, installation, photography, drawing), challenge mechanisms of power related to gender, sexual, ethnic and national identity. The title of the show Behind the Velvet Curtain paraphrases the notorious concept of the Iron Curtain that signified the impermeable border around the former Soviet Bloc, and, at the same time, refers to the well-known cognomen of the political changes in former Czechoslovakia in 1989, the Velvet Revolution. However, both words – “velvet” and “curtain” – are commonly employed in a much less symbolic way; they literally mean the fabric or cloth that is soft, often used for women’s toilette or in the interior. The two words thus carry strong connotations of the sphere that is traditionally ascribed to femininity, i.e. the sphere of privacy, domesticity, sexuality, fantasy, but also care-taking and luxury. And it is mainly this context where intimacy and politics create an inseparable pair into which the exhibition is framed.
The exhibition Behind the Velvet Curtain presents women artists who entered the Czech and consecutively international art scene in the last fifteen years (all of them were born in the 1960s and 70s). It takes the viewers into the marginalized zones of the post-communist society where female desire, sexuality, identity, maternity, family, or age still subjected to many social and cultural prejudices, and where the old communist patriarchal system that deprived women of their privacy and got a total control of their bodies, behavior and decisions, has transformed into a no less patriarchal capitalist imperative of the production and consumption that publicly uses female sexuality as a symbol of freedom and democracy. However, the exhibition also touches upon much older traumas that still influence the personal and collective identity of women but also men in this part of Europe, such as the war experience, German occupation, and anti-German pogroms.
Although this exhibition is neither explicitly political nor explicitly feminist, it has strong social dimension.
It aims to – metaphorically – undraw the curtain and disclose complex and often complicated relationships between men and women, rationality and emotions, reality and dream, “we” (“I”) and “they” (“Other”), inside and outside, center and periphery. Yet, women, such as the artists in this show and its curator, who spent up to now at least half of their lives behind the Iron Curtain, know that clearly demarcated polarities in life and society don’t exist and people’s roles change; the subordination can generate strength, and domination and power can quickly turn into weakness and marginalization. Everything flows; iron and velvet are closer to each other than it seems at first sight…

the recent art production arising from the Central-European post-communist space.
The project is structured as a series of exhibitions localized in prestigious institutions
operating in regional centres with a strong affinity to the international context
of the contemporary art. Individual exhibitions naturally relate to the specific situation
of the site, for which they have been prepared, however at the same time they are
interconnected and communicate to each other. The selection of artists is focused
on the generation of the 20th century's last decade that most consistently reflects
the process of political, economic and cultural transformation characteristic
for the post-communist region.
