Umelec Magazine since 1997 is the only art magazine devoted to current visual culture in the Czech Republic. It is directed to the international scene, particularly the wider European circle. Its emphasis on art in Central and Eastern Europe stems from its unique position in that region.

"Man könnte uns vorwerfen, den “straighten” Teil des Themas unserer Sommerausgabe – „Straight | Twisted“ – zugunsten einer unmotivierten, aber aufmerksamkeitsstarken Ansammlung von Merkwürdigkeiten vernachlässigt zu haben, die alle irgendwie “twisted” sind.

When, at the end of the sixties, Chuck Close painted a reclining nude over 20 feet long in minutely detailed verisimilitude as well as faces of unprecedented size and exactitude, he challenged the visual practice of the art-viewing public.

Diadochenkultur? - Vom Kunstbetrieb, der von Messe zu Biennale zu Messe hechelt, weitgehend unbeachtet hat sich in den unabhängigen Teilen der ehemaligen Machtblöcke ein neues kulturelles Selbstbewusstsein formiert. In erster Linie betrifft dies die Szenen im ehemaligen Einflussbereich der Sowjetunion.

Spooky Realism The remarkably lifelike, unmistakable reality advanced by the art in this issue of PARKETT is deceptive. One finds oneself repeatedly ensnared by the seductive call of recognition, only to end up making the fatal leap into the void.

A Collaboration with Sigmar Polke.

In Broad Daylight We have chosen to celebrate our fiftieth volume in the most natural of festive illuminations, in “broad daylight,” fully aware that these words are associated today with an undercurrent of disturbing implications.

Hammons creates work that addresses the experiences of African American life and the role that race plays in American society.

GRIDS AND SPRING TIDES. The network or the grid, which had already served Dürer, plays a declared role in Malcolm Morley’s paintings.

Mondrian sighted in front of Matisse at MOMA As if it had suddenly stepped off the wall of the museum, a Mondrian—i

Bruce Nauman’s bloodcurdling litany, “Help me, hurt me sociology; feed me, eat me anthropology,” echoed through the halls of art in his video ANTHRO/SOCIO for the first time in 1991.

As painters, Ross Bleckner and Marlene Dumas share a concentration on lightness and darkness in their quest for the essence of light.

Like two purists who have put the heat on a traditionally cool domain, our collaboration artists in this issue

Modern Art—Modern Life Parkett already published an issue eleven years ago with the collaboration of Edward Ruscha.

PARKETT IS TEN YEARS OLD Since Victorian times, Anglo-Saxon children have enjoyed playing Snakes and Ladders, a board game of ancient Indian origin.

While Olaf Breuning and Richard Phillips acquire new insights by devoting themselves to the world of forms and aesthetic appearances as

This issue of PARKETT evokes the merger of art and life, not as it was propagated in the late sixties, but as an entity freed from the conspicuous involvement of the artist’s person. Nor is the artist free as a bird, à la Yves Klein’s leap into the void.

There is space in their pictures, not meaning the illusionism that sees the picture as a window through which we look. What John Currin, Laura Owens, and Michael Raedecker carefully conjure with every stroke of the brush is a space that breathes, a field of freedom.

The art in this issue of Parkett is far-reaching. It reaches out physically and mentally; it occupies new territories and makes startlingly self-

Our core objective, since we first started 20 years ago, has been to work closely with contemporary artists, for we consider them partners in a joint venture. They, in turn, have consistently demonstrated their commitment in collaborations that contribute substantially to the renown of Parkett.

An extended relationship unites Louise Bourgeois and Parkett. Twenty years ago Louise designed the insert for our 18th issue.

We are looking forward to the future because the changes—only three issues a year, but more voluminous and with a sewn binding, instead of the previous four in an adhesive binding—offer a challenging opportunity to expand the playing potential of our instrument, Parkett.

It used to be a much-debated topic with a buzzword all its own: individual mythologies. The works of Monica Bonvicini, Alex Katz, Richard Prince, and Urs Fischer unmistakably demonstrate how fluid the exchange between collective and individual, between subculture, elitist culture and mainstream has become.

Rigor of Form Six years ago Parkett published an issue featuring a collaboration with Richard Artschwager (No. 23, March 1990). At the time, rather than having essays commissioned on his work, the artist suggested asking authors from beyond the field of art to write on the subject of “Art and Reason.”

Selected Realities. In a recent photograph, Douglas Gordon appears wearing a poorly fitting blonde woman’s wig. This set piece allows him to try on several identities in the imaginary mirror of popular culture:

A magazine about queers and cinema, mostly.

The accumulation of material goods increasingly shapes the spaces we inhabit. Large parts of the contemporary landscape are organized around storage: facilities for warehousing, logistics,

Written by people who live well for people who live badly, mixture of the most serious and stupidest philosophical bullshit, vulgar and sober at the same time, PNB continues the tradition of fanzines, comics, counter-culture and the radical and rude criticism of the permanent order of things.

2006-2009 A SMALL Anthology

The glare that a shadow can emit is evident in recent Latin American history, a history notoriously scored by oppression, violence, disappearances, and other painful secrets tossed into the gray areas of memory and to the margins of hegemonic historical accounts.

Mots Slow will appear every year, one day before the previous issue.

The Exhibitionist is a journal focusing solely on the practice of exhibition making. Its objectives are to create a wider platform for the discussion of curatorial concerns, encourage a diversification of curatorial models, and actively contribute to the formation of a theory of curating.

New format of Magazine X, which is published twice a year is focused on one artist only.

The fifth issue of X is dedicated to abilities of drawing to visualize memories, record moments and ideas.

This issue comprises various outlooks on “perspective.” This might be taken to mean something as specific as a particular opinion or as general as an axonometric projection; in short, different ways and means of looking at the world.
