Description
Olga Mala: Heroin Crystal (english)
Synopsis
The book presents the key works of fifteen protagonists of the "Golden Nineties" generation (K. Kintera, M. Pěchouček, V. Bromová, M. Othová, J. Černický, F. Díaz, M. Dopitová...). These are artists who exhibited at the Prague City Gallery at the very beginning of their artistic career, and it has become a kind of unwritten rule that they have achieved significant success on the domestic and international art scene. In the hectic years 1994-2002, the Gallery's activities associated with artists of this generation were prepared and curated by a pair of young art historians, Olga Malá and Karel Srp. The book includes an extensive pictorial section accompanied by texts by Michal Koleček, Terezie Nekvindová, Jakub Kral, Miroslav Petříček and Olga Malá. A separate final chapter is devoted to the Archive, which deals with each of the twenty-two exhibitions in chronological order and provides visuals of documentary materials such as invitations, catalogues and photographs from exhibitions and openings, as well as press responses. The title of the exhibition, Heroin Crystal, was inspired by Jiří Černický's 1999 installation and photograph of the same name, which is characterised by its striking visuality with an unsettling undercurrent typical of the 1990s in general.
