The festival is preparing seven
curatorial projects right in the pulsating historical centre
of Prague in extraordinary venues. This year’s main
theme puts an even greater focus on the new media, digital
technology, video, and installations, and it is offering
numerous performances.

The
Threshold of the Noosphere
CURATORIAL
PROJECTS
THE THRESHOLD OF THE
NOOSPHERE
curator: Blanca de la Torre (ESP
)
This project concentrates on the current
state of our society, which has reached a critical point. But
this crisis is paradoxically leading to a return to the
principles of spirituality. As Eric Davis says, ‘We call on
the beast to show itself’.
BEYOND GUILT
curator: Doron Rabina
(UAE)
In the ‘BEYOND GUILT’ exhibition the
Israeli curator Doron Rabina presents mainly video-art works.
It focuses thematically and conceptually on guilt as its
motif. Guilt is perceived here not just as the source of
reflection on moral responsibility but also a source of ideas
and as a generator of life.
STREAMING MUSEUM / curator: Nina Colosi
(US)/ This year the TINA B. Festival has established
cooperation with the Streaming Museum organisation
(Electrotechnical Museum), which was formed 29 January 2009 in
New York. Streaming Museum is now creating a worldwide network
of cultural metropolises to which it broadcasts works of art
and exhibitions in real time through the Internet.
PERFORMANCE ART OF THE 1980s – A
COMPARISON
curator: Paulina Kolczynská
(PL)
This exhibition brings together a very
specific group of works by three artists who, in their native
countries, carried out series of art performances in the years
between 1976 and 1983. An introduction to a comparative
study of the performance practices of Jiří Kovanda (CZ),
Hassan Sharif (UAE) and Zbigniew Libera (PL) from the 1970’s
and 1980’s.
PERFORMANCE ART
STUDIES
curator: Johannes Deimling
(DE)
The artist BBB Johannes Deimling will hold
a special performance arts workshop, which he is presenting at
a number of cities all over the world. The results of the
workshop will then be presented on 9 October in an evening of
performances (
www.tina-b.eu).
TINA B. MEETS MINI ROOF
ART
curator: TINA B.
AT the
pedestrian zone of Ovocný trh. This year TINA B. has prepared
a special art project called TINA B. MEETS MINI ROOF ART.
Seven artists were asked to create their own artistic
interpretation of roofs for a MINI car. A portion of the
proceeds from the auction of these art works will go to the
European Art Centre for Disabled Children Snězenka.
TINA B. ON THE ROAD
curator: TINA B.
Travelling abroad to explore art in other
countries and art markets, the organisers and curators of the
TINA B. Festival encounter many different artistic figures.
They try to bring those whose work stands out as particularly
remarkable to the Prague art world to show their work as part
of the festival section
