Press Release / Provokátor 35 [WH5]_ML[1]

Press Release / Provokátor Magazine Issue 35, July/August 2009
28 June 2009, Prague
Culture Clash/Festivals
From a culture that curiously revels in apathy and insignificance comes a strong reminder
that when opportunity knocks...thou hast two choices, and only one of those will be worth
remembering. This year The Czech Republic’s prodigal son was called upon to voice a
statement of the entire E.U., David Černý and his cohorts gave them the sculpturally
sarcastic, if not caustically amusing statement; Entropa.
It is Instigator Media Group’s mission to level the playing field via making fun and targeting
every aspect of every country's culture. Supporting the selfless / self-centered right of
freedom of expression and the burden of enlightenment that comes along with any
cognizance.
Currently on display at DOX gallery (and on tour all summer), Provokátor spoke with artist
David Černý and DOX co-founder and director Leoš Válka about Entropa, and opportunism.
Z kultury která si podivně libuje/oddává se v apatii a bezvýznamnosti přichází silná
připomínka toho, že když příležitost zaklepe...máš na výběr ze dvou možností a jen jedna z
nich bude hodná zapamatování. Letos byl vyzván marnotratný syn České republiky vyslovit
prohlášení/sdělení za celou E.U., David Černý a jeho komplicové jim dali sochařsky
sarkastické, ne-li jízlivě humorné prohlášení; Entropu.
Je posláním Instigator Media Group vyrovnávat hrací pole cestou zábavy a zasahovat každý
aspekt kultury všech zemí. Podporovat nesobecké / sebestředné právo na svobodu projevu
a zátěž osvícení která přichází spolu s jakýmkoliv poznáním.
V současné době je Entropa k vidění v galerii DOX (a na turné po celé léto). Provokátor
mluvil s umělcem Davidem Černým a spoluzakladatelem a ředitelem DOXu Leošem Válkou o
Entropě, - a oportunismu.
er Opportunismus bekommt eine strenge Abmahnung, und zwar ausgerechnet von einer
Kultur, die seltsamerweise in Apathie und Bedeutungslosigkeit versinkt...du hast zwei
Möglichkeiten, und nur eine davon ist es wert, sich später an sie zu erinnern. Der verlorene
Sohn der Tschechischen Republik wurde nun beauftragt, einen allumfassenden,
verbindenden Begriff für das vereinte Europa zu entwerfen. David Cerny plus Anhang
fanden eine sarkastisch bis lustige Beschreibung; Entropa.
Es ist das Grundbedürfnis, aber vor allem die Pflicht der Instigator Media Group, das
Spielfeld von hinten aufzurollen, indem wir uns lustig machen und die kulturellen Aspekte
eines jeden Landes unter Beschuss nehmen; wir unterstützen das selbstlose / selbstsüchtige
Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung, einhergehend mit der schwerwiegenden Last der
Aufklärung, die notwendigerweise auf die Erkenntnis folgt.
Wir sprachen mit dem Künstler David Cerny und Leos Valka, dem Mitgründer sowie Direktor
der DOX Gallery, in deren Räumlichkeiten momentan Cernys Exponate ausgestellt sind. Das
Gesprächsthema war Entropa. Und Opportunismus.
