This is the last twelfth drawing from the Reproduction: instrument of discovery series. It took me a whole year to complete it. Its abstract forms refer to various stages in which work and capital find themselves in our contemporary societies. I will continue exploring this in the coming months.

Today is the last day of Local Stigma exhibition at Prague's Hunt Kastner gallery. I'm exhibiting here alongside Zbyněk Baladrán, Ján Mančuška, Tomáš Svoboda, and Tomáš Vaněk. If you want to experience a bit of sentiment and a historical glimpse, it's definitely worth it.

Last week I completed my 49th year of life and as a gift I received my own Wikipedia entry from Bára Mrázková and Jiří Ptáček. This is what I get for making Bára a website for Christmas. This kind of gift you only get once in a lifetime :) Thank you so much.

Several photos from installation of show "Local Stigma" at Hunt Kastner Gallery in Prague. Four other artists are also represented there as well. The selection of works reveals our youthful aspirations and search for ourselves as artists :) Thanks to Katherine Kastner and Vít Novák for invitation.

Rád bych Vás pozval na vernisáž kolektivní výstavy Lokální stigma. Tento pátek v Hunt Kastner Galerii v 6 hod odpoledne. Je to tak trochu sentimentální představení umělců, co začali svou uměleckou dráhu na konci devadesátek a na začátku nulých let. Rád Vás tam uvidím. link na fb: fb.me/e/9WUpNAawm

Před měsícem mě Anežka Bártlová požádala, jestli by ji neposkytl fotografie (jako ilustrace) ze série Umělecké praxe a další aktivity k jejímu komentáři na Artalku. Ten poukazuje na nešťastně nastavenou grantovou politiku Českého státu a regionálních samospráv. artalk.info/news/granty-body-umelci
Artalk – Granty, body, umělci
O problémech i výhodách grantového systému (zejména) Ministerstva kultury ČR, ale i o tom, proč bychom jej měli chtít reformovat, píše v komentáři Anežka Bartlová.

Last week, I wrapped up a series of nine drawings—Reproduction: A Tool for Cognition. They reflect my personal take on how production, consumption, states, and global institutions appropriate the productive forces of, well… everyone and everything on Earth.

A few more photos from the lecture I gave for the Intermedia 3 studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. I presented various economic theories in relation to fine arts, with particular focus on theories of value, petty bourgeoise and PMC.

Last Monday, the Center for Contemporary Art Prague hosted a lecture by Joe Grim Feinberg on the legacy of American thinker Moishe Postone. The event was held on the occasion of the public presentation of my work Thank You For Ruling Us at the nonprofit exhibition space Artwall.
