The Czech contemporary visual art misses a united theme or a certain
conspicuous character, which would specify it in the frame of broader
cultural context.
The Prague art scene, and partly the whole Czech art scene, is absorbed
with its own situation and does not reflect the social status of contemporary
art and the dynamic changes of its institutional frame. In spite of this
it is possible to observe the movements on the edge between the aesthetic
forms of the artworks and the structure of social mechanisms by detailed
inquiry of Czech contemporary art. These motions under the surface do
not represent any spectacular content, but they present a certain form
of co-existence of reality. The artwork stands for a certain fictitious
document in the frame of this ambiguous attitude towards reality, which
breaks into the process of permanent confrontation the habitual contexts
and uncovers the real coherences as well.
The Prague part of Balkan Konsulat remarks especially this tender "othering"
of Czech contemporary visual art in relation to the social environment,
and this "othering" is completed by the specific attitudes of
several artists from neighboring countries with common historical experiences
of the same time.
