ab fab czech bastardos: pode bal

pode bal is a czech art collective consisting of three artists: petr motyčka, michal šiml and antonín kopp. they began their activity as a group in 1998, as a form of critical communication, counter-advertising, and were amongst the first ones that politicized the czech art scene in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
pode bal has received an extraordinary public & media acclaim in 2000, with their controversial exhibition "malik urvi" (a pun meaning literally “tear off the little finger” and implying “little whores”), displaying 36 portraits of former collaborators with the czechoslovak state secret police, its officers and communist officials, who maintained their important positions in czech society after the velvet revolution in 1989. the portraits included a biography of the relevant person with information about his/her pre- and post-revolution activities. ten years after, pode bal has prepared a sequel to this exhibition, which is now on display @ dox, prague. plus: this monday you can attend a discussion with the members of the group, about their project & its evolution.

showtime: for your eyes only

to start up the art events galore in brussels from the 23rd this month -stay tuned for more posts next week-, the exhibition 'for your eyes only', opening in de markten on april 22nd, promises a worthy take-off! (although you wouldn't say so from the website layout de markten offers :-(. helooooooo sirs, it's the 2010, not the 80s...).
already briefly mentioned on our blog couple of months ago, the show presents a selection of contemporary female painters, amongst which such 'hotshot bitches' ;-) as cindy wright, marilyn minter, kati heck etc. looking forward!!
