things related to contemporary culture, art too is, >at least to a certain
extent, a discourse between matters in a >so-called _critical
context_. This is also true for the exhibition >entitled Frisbee,
introducing authors of the younger generation who >have gained their
place in the sun of Czech art in the 1990s. Sometimes >they are marked with
distinct codes of the totalitarian system that >they had witnessed at
the height of its powers in the eighties of the >past century. It is
not merely a question of delimiting oneself against >the dominating
system, but mainly an effort to redefine existential >dimensions. The
artists use new forms of thinking and sensibility that >provide new
perspectives. >After the outset of
the newly regained freedom the artists open >themselves to new
social conditions, using assertively the >possibilities of the
ever increasing influence of the new media and, at >the same time,
applying their own influence upon these media. Their >strategy is based on
a totally free option of handling used sources, >recycling them and
using them for their artistic activity. The younger >commencing artistic
generation also uncompromisingly relativise new >social conditions _
their actions take on an ironic form and do not >lack critical
concern. >In this context,
_critical_ determines a number of system indicators. >It is a presentation
underlining for instance the discrepancies between >reality and fiction,
the personal and the public, as well as the >possible and the
real. A decisive moment is that of recording or >creating pictures
that seem to be primary in grasping present-day or >bygone reality. The
most natural also, because the authors get hold of >image networks
(so-called digital or analogue) and become a certain >interpretation of the
reality in which we are bound to live. It is the >same for the twenty
Czech authors introduced here. >After a premiere of
the Frisbee project at the >Contemporary Art
(MNAC) in >exhibition is on
display once again at the Brno House of arts. In a >modified form and
with a new selection of video-works of some of the >artists, it aims to
show the contemporary state of the art on the Czech >visual scene. >Their selection is by
no means a dogma, neither in relation to the >curator nor to the
theme, but rather a presentation of possibilities >and a broader view of
contemporary Czech videoart and new media. > > >Organized by: >Brno House of Arts,
