Alexandra Vajd and Hynek Alt: Bright eyes burning like fire
Tomáš Vaněk: Particip No. 102
The cooperative owning the house at Antonínská 6 has faced problems with the façade covered by graffiti, with the high cost of new paint and the absurdity of such an investment, since after treatment the graffiti, the sprayers are able to bring the graffiti to its original status within two to four weeks. In agreement with members of the cooperative, I have contacted the artist Tomáš Vaněk, explained our problem and asked him to take up the project of new facade. I asked him to think of a way to cover the current form of the ground floor facade of the house, taking into account also the architectural style in which the house was built.

Daniela Deutelbaum: Twins / Upgrade
Showcase:
this showcase is an exact copy of the showcase nextdoor (Antonínská 4) to our gallery
m.odla. The original intention (which failed) was to expand the exhibition nextdoor.
Instead we transformed and spread m.odla gallery space on Antonínská 6.
Frame:
It gives now the opportunity for the artist to express himself also by words and text, and
for the spectator to let himself be affected by the name of the artwork and by the name of
the artist.
Flag:
It indicates the presence of the gallery also from the outside

Exhibitions in gallery Entrance, Prague between May and October 2010:

May 6th -30th 2010
Don’t think about it anymore
Curators: Pavlína Míčová and Marika Kupková
Exhibiting artists: Tereza Janečková, Marika Kupková, Pavlína Míčová
Project of Tereza Janečková, Marika Kupková a Pavlína Míčová deals with moving and merging of the roles of artist, curator and production manager as symptomatic phenomena of contemporary art production. The authors soon abandoned the classical model of thematic of monographic exhibition that should represent the art production emphasizing its (esthetic, social, etc.) value. They decided instead to enregister their own considerations about possible form of the exhibition in one of the ateliers in Karlin Studios object, where the exhibition was held at the same time.

June 6th – July 7th 2010
Niklaus Rüegg / ZIRKUS GRAU (PRÉPARATIONS POUR UN MIRACLE) / Curator: Marko Stamenkovic
The exhibition Zirkus Grau (Préparations pour un miracle), the first individual presentation of Rüeggs work in the Czech Republic, is conceived as a form experiencing the possibilities of art within the value system derived from iconography of certain public event or of a series of consequent events. The exhibition struggles, beyond the frame of mere interpretation, to create kind (though at the same time critical) environment, that will challenge local Prague communities (mainly children and students) to take an active part in a game of exchange.

September 22nd – October 8th 2010
Fail again
Exhibiting artists: Martin Horák, Jan Nálevka, Marek Meduna, Václav Stratil
Curator: Tereza Stejskalová
The title of the exhibition refers to modernist tradition which, although it mastered the language of art, likes to observe its own incapacity of impossibility to the point when it almost merges in it. Not unlike the characters from Robert Walser’s romans, who take pride in their own insignificance, the works of artists create here the counterpoint to the situation of modern man who is not capable of understanding himself, but keeps persuading others about his powers, knowledge and possibilities.

10 minutes Sláva Sobotovičová
Curator: Pavlína Morganová
The exhibition “10 minutes” in Entrance Gallery presents the works of Slávka Sobotičová that were created this year directly for the gallery space. The prevailing media is not, as might be expected, video-art but photography. All parts of the exhibition project “10 minutes” deal with time process and movement, within the investigation frame of different perceptions of time flow, that are indicated by plant and animal motives. The only exhibited video invites the spectator into seemingly trivial story documenting vegetal life in the rhythm of a highway.
