Archive for March, 2010. Today I took part on an interesting presentation of the Giovanni Alessi Anghini, who came to Prague on invitation of Decoland that is currently opening new exposition of Alessi products. The presentation took part in DOX – Centre for contemporary art, which is actually just behind the corner from the new flat I moved to with my boyfriend just recently. Pop-up bottle opener can be considered as some sci-fi object that removes a bottle tops as if by magic. The product itself ha...

Archive for November, 2010. There is an exhibition with wonderful name “PLAY” right in the centre of Prague. If exhibition has such a name, it probably breaks some stereotypes, we use to expect, while speaking about “an exhibition”. And this one certainly does (at least mine). While this article is going to be pretty much positive, i would like to start with little of critics in the beginning. The first and main part of the Mánes Gallery is called CRYSTALLIZATION and as the author Petr Nikl describes:.

And this weekend I gave it a try… and it really surprised me. And what was the exhibition about? How does the youngest generation look at the life of their ancestors? Wedding photo in the bedroom, playing with beads, Grandma’s stuffed cakes. This exhibition is in etnographical museum in Prague...

Archive for December, 2011. Did you ever think about, why are toy stores divided with color in pink and blue section? What makes some toys fit exactly in pink or blue category? One might argue, that it’s the result of division of labor, but. Think about this again with present society in mind. Then look at the page from czech Pompo catalogue. Labeled with name “Housewives” featuring all the house works with 2 girls on one page. (and no boy anywhere near.). Well written in article from Richard Gottlieb.

Archive for June, 2011. Visual smog in prague. Ever heard a phrase “visual smog in the city”? Yesterday I attended an interesting discussion about visual smog in Prague. The highly discussed topics were various kind of billboards among roads and brightly decorated streets with great amount of shop signs without any visual order that are very difficult to oversee. When you look on an old photo from 1928 (from prague city archive. Would some city regulation policy solve the problem? Once i read somewhere, ...

Archive for June, 2010. More than a month, there is an interesting exhibition taking place at Center for Contemporary Arts DOX. In Prague. Actually, I haven’t been to this exhibition yet, but I’ve visited two evenings (from 6 in total) where authors of those city interventions presented their work in person with many interesting thoughts to share…. Some of projects were more visionary, some analysed problem to deepest detail, some were funny, playful, others super serious. Okay, looks like long article.
