The most striking contrast in Jindrich Streit’s photography is also the most obvious: black and white. But there are other contrasts evident in Streit’s work, contrasts which lose no power for being subtle.

Streit’s dominant subject is life in Czech villages, particularly those in the Bruntal region, where he lived for some time. His photographs capture Czech villagers in a variety of moods and activities - work, rest, mourning and celebration being some of the more obvious themes of Streit’s work.

Art has long been cultural ground zero for contrast and controversy, and the work of Czech-Canadian sculptor Lea Vivot is no different. Known internationally for her benched bronze figures depicting motifs of women and the family, her subjects range from the sacred to the profane, depending on which free magazines you regularly pick up in Prague. One person's humanity is another's vulgarity.

I recently stumbled upon Vivot's work on a post-holiday trip to the doctor, and was struck by her sculpture, “Unity”, positioned at the front door of the Canadian Medical Center in Prague 6. Seated here since 2006, two bronze figures - a young Canadian girl engrossed in the Montreal Daily and an African reading his Malawi Citizen - sit side-by-side on a wooden bench. Inscribed on the bench are the words "In our differences we unite."

Ocean vs Daughter

an informal chat with Flanna Sheridan

by Antonio Baroni

When you hear Flanna Sheridan's sweet and velvety voice opposed to the waterfall of vigorous piano-raindrops and the colourful, warm and thunderous violin and cello flows, suddenly the mysterious name of the band makes sense: their music is like a wide expanse of water that can be sometimes quiet and sometimes stormy, nevertheless the sound is always clean, defined, and it's not hard to imagine Flanna as one of the Nereids, the nymphs that accompanied Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.

Werner Herzog is a German cinema legend, and yet he has received little recognition in his home country in recent years. Now the director is finally back in Germany, where he is heading the jury at this year's Berlin International Film Festival. As usual, the maverick filmmaker is doing things his way.

Anthology of 20th-century Czech poets translates many the country's best into English for first time

Great poetry anthologies are rare, but not for a lack of great poems. Any sampling of poets is only as strong as the sum of its parts, but, to be more than just a grouping of varied talents, a poetry anthology must also be a work of selective criticism.

    Masked villains stealing ancient masterpieces for their Sicilian mafia boss...is this the image an "art crime" inspires in your mind? Or perhaps it's a collage of headline-smashing thefts - like the recent disappearance of Andy Warhol’s Athletes silk-screens from a museum in California. But is that really the whole range of art crime’s colours or just its varnished surface?

Normal Festival 2009

Sponsored by the Czech Ministry of Culture, this year's Normal Festival features art for and by people who live with learning disabilities.  Often unable to succeed in school, these artists have found a means of self-expression through elements ranging from film, to performance, to photography.  Featured works include; A Little Different Theatre from Poland, a documentary film called Die Heide ruft from Germany, large format photographs of the actors of Theatre Inventura by Martin Mařák and much more.  There will also be workshops with slam poet Bohdan Blahovec.  So come support the artists and experience art by people for whom life is often more challenging, but who thrive in creative endeavors,  artistic and moral support.

Picture from Prague Post

Original article by James Walling

It has long been commonplace for ambitious directors to restage Shakespeare in modern dress, adapting the setting to "breathe life" into aging works that are thought to be inaccessible or impractical to produce as originally written. As a result, it's difficult to find productions of Shakespeare plays that haven't been meddled with in some way.

In preparation for the party at the 15th century Burg Sommeregg Castle during the weeklong body painting festival in Seeboden, Austria, we had the possibility to become personally adorned with dazzling colors. We were intrigued as to how these artists practise their art and manage to survive. So in the hopes of having the experience of becoming ambulant art pieces, we asked around and bartered an interview for a painting. We were lucky to come to an agreement with Marcel Klaus’s team of Bergheim, Germany. I had to abandon my typically prude nature and strip down to my little short shorts to be air brushed by the artist. With the help of Katerine Hoeper, assistant and seemingly right hand girl, I had the privilege of conducting a quick interview:
