Je to všude / It's everywhere

Tímto obrazem jsem se vřadil do aktivit mezinárodního sympozia Velký formát na zámku ve Valticích v roce 1993. Přijel jsem skutečně na sympozium s hotovou představou co chci dělat / se slohou studií v podpaží /. Vzpomínám na chlad obrovské prostory zámecké jízdárny / 70 m / kde snít o velkých realizacích bylo tak lákavé - a v devadesátých letech tak nabitých nadějí – tak snadno uskutečnitelné. Bylo tak svůdné uvěřit, že po návratu demokracie bude svobodná společnost už jen stoupat k výšinám umění a ducha…
Nestalo se tak – jak známo: politický tlak byl okamžitě nahrazen tlakem ekonomickým, pád železné opony znamenal de facto konec soutěživosti Východu-Západu v kulturní oblasti. Už nebylo před kým předstírat životní úroveň, politici se už nemuseli stydět za svoji nekulturnost , naopak hrdě hlásali své „jiné priority“.
Umělecký svět byl masírován generačními přístupy, nová média vládla s okázalou pompou, teoretici hlásali opětovný konec malby / či v lepším případě se hovořilo o „klasických“ přístupech / kdo se nevešel do předem vytvořených škatulek neexistoval, téma vnitřního exilu tak vyvstávalo s novou aktuálností…
It's everywhere
This painting was for the first time part of the activities of the International Symposium Large Format in Valtice chateau /1993/. I actually came to the symposium with a ready idea of what to do. I remember the huge cold hall of the chateau riding school / 70 m / where the dream about the great realizations was so tempting - and in that time of hope of nineties so easy. It was so tempting to believe that the return of democracy and free society means only grow of hights of art and spirit ...
It did not happen - as is well known: political pressure was immediately replaced by economic pressure, the fall of the Iron Curtain marked the de facto the end of competition East-West in the cultural field. It was not necesary anymore to pretend the level of living, politicians were no longer be ashamed by their cultural illiteracy, contrary: they proudly proclaimed "other priorities". The artistic world was massaged by generational approaches, new media ruled with ostentatious pomp, theorists has been proclaimed the end of painting / or in the better case about "classical" approaches / - who did not fit into these pre-formed boxes were no exists, the topic of internal exile was appearing with a new topicality ...

The second annual year of the international painting symposium Valtice"LARGE FORMAT" 1994 |
||
| From 5th July to 23rd July 1994 the luxurious baroque mansion at Valtice - southern Moravia -became a place of the meeting of both Czech and foreign fine artists again. The second annual year of the international painting symposium called "Large Format" took place here, its tradition was founded in 1992 and remarkable results presented at the exhibition at Valtice In the end of the symposium and another exhibition in Kroměříž castle encouraged the organizers to arrange such a symposium again. The artists were offered a stately room of Valtice castle riding school where the area 77 x 18,5 metres gives all participants enough space for their work on monumental size pictures.There are several institutions which took an active part in organizing the symposium:- the Ancient Monuments Department, Brno, which offered the room for the symposium- the Union of the Fine Artists cooperating with the Czech Fund of Fine Art sponsored by the Czech Ministery of Culture- the Union of Czech Fine Artists and Theorists of the southeastern Moravia- the Secondary School of Applied Art at Uherské Hradiště contributed a lot during organizing and symposium itself Its headmaster, Mr. Jan Pospíšil, was the spiritual father of the whole project.The participants for the symposium were chosen in the same way as last year, the basic precondition was their enthusiasm to take part and their ability to manage the monumental size of the pictures up to maximum size 10 m2.This year there have been three foreign participats: Mr. Bjorn Ano and Mr. Mikko Paakkola from Finland and Mr. Jan? Pieter Cornelis from Belgium, and three Czech participants: Mrs. Zdena Hohmova, Mr. Jiří Kornatovsky and Mr. Václav Vaculovič. Members of the organizing committee have also taken part, they were Mr. Jan Pospisil and Mr. Miroslav Malina.Thus an amity of talented personalities arose. The mutual bound was given by the common feeling of the aim and goal of the symposium. The artists declare to be devoted to large size pictures and pay a permanent attention to them.The outcome of the symposium being represented both by large format works and by many sketches and designs demonstrates great three weeks' creative activity, which was proved both by the final exhibition in the riding room of the Valtice mansion and by the exhibition of both symposia results in the Moravian Slovakia Gallery at Uherské Hradiště.The cross-section of the symposia results will be exhibited once more at the gallery near Brno called The Granary (Sýpka) in May 1994. | ||
