Questionary

36

1. Are you trying to eliminate the curatorial aspect in your gallery?

1. No.

2. What is the concept of your gallery like?

2. 1. Introduce authors whose work is right now of the interest to us or by whose work we are fascinated on a long-term basis and for whom the exhibition in 36 would represent at the same time a challenge. 
2. Offer the possibility of exhibiting to artists, to whom our exhibition format makes sense – i.e. they either exhibit very little or they exhibit a lot but mostly at institutions, or the form of glassed-in container without electricity parked in the park appealed really to their tastes, for example because it allows them to fully concentrate on the project.  

3. Show interesting local authors and thus connect them, at least symbolically, with Prague art scene.


3. Do you know about any contemporary art gallery with a similar concept abroad, which is as well run by the artists and whose activity remains in the non-profit sector? Would you give me, please, its website and email address. Choose one gallery only.

3. There should be plenty of them for sure, but none comes to my mind I could name right now.


4. Are you willing to participate in a small conference held in October 2009 on the subject: Role of the curator in contemporary Czech fine art?

4. Why not, depends on when it’s going to be.
