Kamil Činátl: Memory in Film, or Film in Memory?
Over the last few decades film has become a key medium for collectively shared remembrance. Indeed, films and serials have appeared that do not simply offer images of the past, but enact the actual practice of remembering (think of Hřebejk’s film Kawasaki’s Rose or the serial Narrate on Czech Television).

Discussion with Michelle Levy: how to connect and define artist communities
New York based curator and artist Michelle Levy will present the EFA Project Space, a program of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, a multi-arts non-profit organization in the heart of New York City. The program presents a dialogue about diverse creative practices through exhibitions, residencies, discussions, performances, and social cultivation events in collaboration with organizations, curators, artists and collectives. In her talk, Michelle Levy will share some of the projects and developments of this young program, and discuss the climate for non-commercial art programs in New York and Prague, and what the two situations could gain from each other.

Juan Pablo Macías: Tiempo Muerto II (Dead Time II)
Tiempo Muerto II (Dead Time II)
The anarchist doctrine accessible to all
The work of Juan Pablo Macías (Mexico, 1974) explores the relation between systems of representation and affectivity, and analogically, between power knowledge and insurrectional knowledge. With his actions, interventions and work on archives, he intends to cause tensions between institution, art practice and social field, abandoning flat semantics by producing programs that operate directly on the biological, social and economic bodies. His work has been shown in major art museums in Mexico and around the world.

Anti-capitalism days 2013 – An alternative exists
We live in a world of extreme inequality, where the poor get poorer and the rich richer.
In a world in which many countries are experiencing famine. In a world of dictators propped up by respected Western governments. In a world of cuts and tightening the belts of the weakest.
However, we also live in a world of resistance to neo-liberalism. In a world where people have managed to bring down seemingly invincible authorities. In a world in which many people reject the inequality between men and women. In a world in which disapproval of the catastrophic destruction of the environment is spreading.

KKA2 Homo Sacer Giorgio Agamben
On the occasion of the publication of the Czech translation of the first work in the trilogy Homo Sacer by the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, the fourth meeting this year of the A2 Criticism Club will take place in the tranzitdisplay gallery, Prague.
The debate will focus on understanding the term “homo sacer” within the framework of Agamben’s thinking. It will inevitably examine his powerful thesis that an exceptional state of affairs is the paradigm of contemporary political regimes. It will ask what forms current manifestations of the declared exceptional state of affairs take in reality.

Pavel Kořínek: The negotiation of memory through comics – from Vladek Spiegelman’s memories to the negotiated trilogy About Stories

Fionn Meade: The Broken Atlas
Curator and writer Fionn Meade will talk about his curatorial practice
and introduce three concepts arising from research done at the close
of the 19th century by cultural thinkers involved in developing new
applications within quickly expanding fields, specifically
anthropologist Franz Boas’ “secondary rationalization,” art historian
Aby Warburg’s “pathosformel,” and sociologist Gabriel Tarde’s
“quantification.” By thinking through these concepts together, Meade
will consider their shared traits as partial, even symptomatic
methods, and how their insights question presumed trajectories of
modernity, and might yet be relevant. Meade will consider these
concepts in relation to recent exhibitions Time Again, Nachleben, and
Plaisance.

PAAL BJELKE ANDERSEN: Writing in a language that is always someone else's
In a TV show from the 1970s, a well-known linguist called the dialect I was speaking then “the ugliest Norwegian.” Since then I have moved to Oslo, graduated and become a literary figure of sorts. I no longer use the dialect (and sociolect) I used to speak when I was a child, although it does not necessarily mean I have learnt to speak and write in “correct Norwegian.” Speech and poetry are tools I use because they are not “mine”: they are always someone else's.

Andrea Průchová: A New Reading of Monuments of the Past
We perceive the city as a constantly transforming, dynamic complex of events, relationships and roles. Just as the city changes every hour of the day, so the process of creating meanings of cities within the urban infrastructure never stops.
The monuments and sculptural interventions in the public space that characterise the garish suburban high-rise building projects of the normalisation period have become decomposing symbols of the past during the decades of freedom, condemned to physical and spiritual erosion.

TD soundsystem Rafani: Nameless Commotion
“Many days have passed since the moment when a group of five desperadoes from a hole in which everything is simply magic and reason brought the world to its knees in order to crush it into dust through a sonic sledgehammer, which didn’t sound like music but like a cataclysmic fit of possessed dilettantes. White blocks were shaken to their foundations and concepts to their seams, lakes overflowed their banks and fields were laid waste. Rafani appeared from nowhere to bring to life an apocalypse of boredom in its destructive and diabolical non-inspiring invocation.”

Andreas Böhn: Cultural Memory and Nostalgia: Media, Technology and the Arts
The term ‘nostalgia’ is composed of the greek words νόστος (returning home) and άλγος (pain). In its original usage the term referred to a pathological form of homesickness. Initially, the nostalgic point of reference signified a place to which to return is principally possible. Yet, in the last third of the 20th century the meaning of the term began to shift more and more towards a temporal perception: Today, nostalgia is understood as a longing for an idealized or even glorified past, often in commodified form. Consequently, a return proper has become impossible, which is why, according to Svetlana Boym, modern nostalgia has developed two different modi operandi: restorative and reflective nostalgia.

Is it a collection of individual viewpoints or does it have a group spirit? How does the magazine relate to the place where it is produced? What’s the sense of an art magazine in our-your context and how does our-your magazine relate to it? What is the relationship between creating art and theoretical reflection?

The publication Primary Documents: A Sourcebook for Central and Eastern European Art since the 1950s (The Museum of Modern Art, 2002; Eds. L. Hoptman and T. Pospiszyl) set out to introduce English-speaking readers to the region’s major artistic and critical movements in the latter half of the 20th century, taking into account that, following the fall of the Iron Curtain, the official art history of many Eastern European countries had to be reconsidered and rewritten. The symposium Authentic Structures will look at critical issues from a local perspective and engage the Central and Eastern European specialists in the discussion.

documenta is regarded as the most important exhibition of contemporary art, drawing attention from all over the world. It was initiated in 1955 by the artist and art educator, Arnold Bode, in Kassel. Every five years, a new director is chosen and the exhibition is reinvented, a concept which to date has been affirmed by the public’s interest. The number of visitors has continually risen. More than 650 thousand visitors came to Documenta11. Under continually changing directorship, and in the equally leisurely and inexorable rhythm of five years, documenta has advanced to become an authoritative worldwide seismograph of contemporary art.
