Abstract
The presented text focuses on the particular artistic practice employed during the realisation of the project Prague is not Czech, which was established as a collective exhibition within the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2019 (henceforth PQ). The authors of this project, who are gathered within the team Intelektrurálně, decided to carry on with the Prague is not Czech travel agency and to transform it into a systematic socio- artistic research, which uses selected strategies of non-Prague reality as a ready-made and fills them with its own content. Since its very beginning, the project has been based on a concept of radical cooperation. Therefore, a collaborative approach towards creation represents the primary subject that is being reflected within this text (and which is itself a product of the cooperation of several people). Thus, the gist of the presented paper is to introduce initial artistic approaches and fundamental strategies of the project. The following text, therefore, consists of a manifesto written by the initiators of the project and broader theoretical reflection. In the first section, entitled What we do, the authors describe the various forms of the presented project, conditions of its creation and its development. The text is then divided into four parts – according to the project’s essential aspects: Czechness, Participation, Scenography and Experience.
Highlights
The following text sheds light on the structures of a particular artistic practice employed during the realisation of the project Prague is not Czech which was introduced as a collective exhibition within the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2019 ( PQ)
In other words – while suggesting various possibilities of uncovering its diverse structures – each thematic section is introduced by the authors of the project and subsequently shortly developed by an art-theoretician who experienced Prague is not Czech during PQ in 2019
The text is divided into four parts – according to the project’s essential aspects: Czechness, Participation, Scenography and Experience – which are prefaced by a short manifesto written by the initiators of the project (Anna Chrtková and Andrea Dudková)
Summary
The following text sheds light on the structures of a particular artistic practice employed during the realisation of the project Prague is not Czech which was introduced as a collective exhibition within the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space 2019 ( PQ). In other words – while suggesting various possibilities of uncovering its diverse structures – each thematic section is introduced by the authors of the project and subsequently shortly developed by an art-theoretician who experienced Prague is not Czech during PQ in 2019 In this way, the connection of the authentic artistic paper with the “theoretical insertions” aims to offer various ways of understanding the project, which might/might not be applied while discussing and interpreting it. The text is divided into four parts – according to the project’s essential aspects: Czechness, Participation, Scenography and Experience – which are prefaced by a short manifesto written by the initiators of the project (Anna Chrtková and Andrea Dudková) Those parts further consist of a suggestion of theoretical reflection by the theatre researcher Amálie Bulandrová, who approaches the project from the “outside” and describes it on the basis of her own viewer’s experience. The Conclusion represents another distinctive part of the text – once again written from the perspective of the initiators of the project, it elaborates, apart from the synopsis of the text, the concept of public service, which, articulated only at the very end, interrelates the whole article
