The exhibition Beginnings of the Century presented Czech visual art of the first decade of the 21st century in spring 2012 at the Central Bohemia Gallery in Plze\u0148. Pavl\u00edna Morganov\u00e1, who created the show, attempted to uncover the most crucial elements that influenced the latest generation of Czech artists. The exhibition included a videokino with four-hour programme divided into three parts: video performance, the possibilities of media, and stories. Exclusively repeated at Caf\u00e9 Sladkovsk\u00fd.<\/p>\n
Introduced by Pavl\u00edna Morganov\u00e1, Sl\u00e1va Sobotovi\u010dov\u00e1 and Blanka \u0160v\u00e9dov\u00e1<\/p>\n
Ji\u0159\u00ed \u010cernick\u00fd (b. 1966) works with a wide range of media. He treats video as the mediator of information hidden behind the image, appropriates film material, fills space, makes time visible, and layers mental traces. At the Caf\u00e9 Sladkovsk\u00fd he presented his latest works in the sphere of moving image and spoke of their links to his other work.<\/p>\n

Mat\u011bj and Filip are brothers. Both are artists who studied at FaVU, Brno. Mat\u011bj (b. 1980) is mainly interested in the animated image, Filip (b. 1983) in object and installation. Both question the desire of 60s minimalism for perfection and both like cars and films. Both work with the possibilities of perception, materiality and process.<\/p>\n

The filmmaking duo Ester Geislerov\u00e1 and Jan Kadlec have intersected many times, almost unwittingly yet precisely. Independently of each other they question the meaning of creativity and encounter each other in a subtle and lightly chilled eroticism. Both artists have appeared in each other\u2019s films, not as actors but rather as mirrors, close up and in a harsh light.<\/p>\n
Ester Geislerov\u00e1 (b. 1984) graduated from AVU in 2012, Jan Kadlec (b. 1976) graduated from AVU in 2002 and now works at FAMU.<\/p>\n

At the end of the 1990s P\u011bchou\u010dek wore a sweat shirt with SOUKUP sewn by hand on the chest. When he slept at the Soukup\u2019s studio his bed was made of gazelle skin.<\/p>\n
