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.

Czech Artist - David Cerny Interview - Entropa & the British Council, Brussel

'Entropa', a work by Czech artist David Cerny, caused a diplomatic and media stir when it was unveiled in mid January 2009 to mark the beginning of the Czech Republic's six-month presidency of the EU.

Once the dust had settled, the artist was invited by the British Council in Brussels to discuss the work at at EUNIC Club event (EUNIC stands for EU National Institutes for Culture). This video (which is divided into two parts) is a record of that discussion and was recorded on 12 March 2009
