Since 2005 Artyãok.TV (ART-y-CHOK-e or artichoke) 
has been reporting from the art scene in Central 
Europe: Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, 
Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Moldavia and also 
from the United Kingdom.

Artyãok was founded as a non-for-profit 
broadcasting internet TV platform at the Academy 
of Arts in Prague to feature news from the 
contemporary arts scene. In 2005, digital archive 
was established for contributions from 
exhibition's openings, interviews with 
artists/curators and documentaries from 
workshops, art competitions and lectures.

In the past five years we have featured more than 
700 contributions, which are published online at 
8 AM of the Central European Time everyday. In 
our online digital archives you can find works of 
more than 1500 artists from around the world.

Bratislava / BRO‰A SCHRAGGEOVÁ: ME AND MY BROTHER

books and in conjunction with its subject matter 
it revives the genre's exchange of communication 
with audience.

/ LECTURE PEFORMANCE
Is contemporary art a product of fascination with 
aesthetic objects or a space for a generation of 
knowledge? How does art operate in relation to 
knowledge in academic, science or media realms 
and how does this exchange of information work? 
What aesthetic and formal methods does it employ 
in order to establish this specific modus 
operandi?
Featuring: Backstr‘m Fia, Benjamin Walter, Boudry 
Pauline, Lorenz Renate, Graham Dan, Fraser

Bude˜jovice / LAWRENCE WEINER: TAKEN FROM THE 
WIND AND BOLTED TO THE GROUND
Lawrence Weiner (1942) was one of the first and 
most prominent artists in New York who were in 
the forefront of a new emerging artform - the 
conceptual art of the late 1960s.
In âeské Bude˜jovice he will introduce a new 
site-specific installation still bearing his 
authentic signature style he has worked in for 
some time now. The work is available both in 
original English and Czech versions.

Video Art / David MoÏn˜: VIRTUAL SOUL WASTE
Virtual soul waste video is a short visual 
narrative taking us on a trip through the world 
of odinary urban environments. It is made out of 
digitalised offset prints taken from books on 
70's socialist architecture and about 
houskeeping. Crumbling scenes of buildings and 
empty rooms evoke the intimate atmosphere 
balancing between cosiness and cataclysm.
David MoÏn˜ is graduate of art education at the 
Pedagogical Faculty of Masaryk University in 
Brno. In 2000 he started working with a computer 
and after a few video-installations and practice 
of VJing he succeeded in international context 
with video for the band Na”e ve˜c . His work can 
be considered as a top in animation and new media 
not only in the Czech Republic.
