Press Release / Provokátor Magazine Issue 35, July/August 2009

28 June 2009, Prague

Culture Clash/Festivals

From a culture that curiously revels in apathy and insignificance comes a strong reminder that when opportunity knocks...thou hast two choices, and only one of those will be worth remembering. This year The Czech Republic’s prodigal son was called upon to voice a statement of the entire E.U., David Černý and his cohorts gave them the sculpturally sarcastic, if not caustically amusing statement; Entropa.

It is Instigator Media Group’s mission to level the playing field via making fun and targeting every aspect of every country's culture. Supporting the selfless / self-centered right of freedom of expression and the burden of enlightenment that comes along with any cognizance.

Currently on display at DOX gallery (and on tour all summer), Provokátor spoke with artist David Černý and DOX co-founder and director Leoš Válka about Entropa, and opportunism.

“It’s a provocateur, it would be difficult to find something more provocative.” Válka notes, answering our query about the sculpture of stereotypes and whether exploitation is a characteristic of Czech culture,  “I’m not sure about opportunistic, I think there is a streak of opportunism in the Czech psyche, and artists are generally opportunists by trade.”
So it’s [the artist] responsibility to seize the moment, “carpe diem”.

Done anything you shouldn't have today......?

Image How has your April Fools' day gone? Mine was crap. I forgot about it until 3pm and after 12 noon the joke backfires on you, so doing something immature was out of the question. I went to work and messed around all day writing this article and exchanging bitchy e-mails instead.

There's an art to constructing a good April fool. Some of the best are constructed by newspapers. They usually ask or provoke readers to provide comments or send in letters/names/addresses/bank details. Banana skins and fake soap don't have the same edge, and if you can get the people you're trying to make idiots of to do most of the work themselves whilst you sit back and cackle gleefully  - it's by far the most effective method of operating. Australia seems to have done one of the best jobs so far this year, easily outstripping the French poisson d'avril and displaying far more sophistication than Beijing's randy pandas. The results of the British broadsheets' efforts usually become apparent a few days after the first when readers' responses reach the letters page. 

If anything decent went on in the CR, do let us know. Meanwhile, click here.
