  • Miroslav Tichý Kyjov, Moravia, Czech Republic
    MIROSLAV TICHÝ Kyjov, Moravia, Czech Republic. 1926-2011 Miroslav Tichy was born in 1926 in what is today the Czech Republic. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, he withdrew to his native city of Kyjov. At the end of the 1950’s, he gave up painting and embarked on personal journey. At the end of the 1960’s, he began taking photographs, particularly of local women, using handmade cameras he had made himself. He later added to the photos with a pencil and placed them in handmade frames, creating a style somewhere between photography and drawing. The result is a body of work with formal qualities that surprises due to its unusual nature, ignoring the rules of conventional photography. His images form an extensive oeuvre with a poetic vision of female beauty. Ivorypress inaugurated Space I with an exhibition of Tichy’s work in 2009. It was his first exhibition in Spain.

    Architecture and Space Our congress centre in pictures and figures Culture meets Congress and finds him devastatingly good looking Mrs Culture and Mr Congress appear from opposite sides of the plaza in front of Bregenz Festival House. She is very elegantly dressed, he has more of a sporty look. Both of them are presumably on their way to an event taking place in the centre. As they approach one another it is clear how glad they are to meet again. Culture: Hello! Well now, you look damn good. Congress: You’re not the first person to say so. Culture (a little taken aback): And you’re pretty self-confident with it. Congress: Did I just adopt the wrong tone? Culture : The right tone is more my domain. Congress: In the figurative sense, yes. But technically speaking it’s mine. Sound, lighting, stage set are my responsibilities, and I feel equal to them all. Culture : There seem to be developments in your life which I have never gone through. Congress: That’s right. I’m doing a lot of sport at the moment. Culture: Please don’t do too much. I’m not too keen on muscle-bound types. Congress: Don’t worry, I’m mainly building up my stamina. The body is my house, it’s got to be solid. Culture : The body is the house in which your soul and mind dwell. Congress: Yeah, them too. But without a strong body... Culture : The body matters a lot to me, too, but not in the sense of what’s external.

During the five-week 2019 season, roughly 180,000 spectators came to see Giuseppe Verdi’s “Rigoletto.” And the upcoming season, which will have its premiere on July 22, 2021, is almost completely sold out as well. An oversized clown figure – a kind of alter ego of Rigoletto – functions as the stage.

  • Program 2021 Kunsthaus Bregenz Reopened on June 5 with a Special Exhibition
    Kunsthaus Bregenz Program 2021 English Insights into the Moment A Foreword by Director Thomas D. Trummer In fall 2020 Elisabeth Bronfen, the Zurich-based cultural studies academic, was a guest at Kunsthaus Bregenz. The occasion was her recently published book Angesteckt (Infected) — a cultural and historical foray through film and literary history. Bronfen sheds light on depictions of the pandemic, demonstrating how viruses, vampires, and epidemics have pervaded cultural history. In doing so, she turns to Hans Blumenberg, who in his well-known book Work on Myth (1985) asked why people tell each other stories. The answer Blumenberg himself provided was: “Stories are told for a reason. In the most harmless but not insignificant case: to pass time. But otherwise and more seriously: to eliminate fear.” The exhibition Bunny Rogers that opened in January 2020 was one such story. It was the representation of individual death, a spatial requiem on four floors. A lawn had been laid for it, glow worms were iridescent, and water dripped in a shower room clad with thousands of tiles. The lockdown forced the exhibition to close in the middle of March 2020. The lawn withered, the shower heads remained dry, death found entry — into all the news. 03 KUB Program 2021 Kunsthaus Bregenz reopened on June 5 with a special exhibition. Unprecedented Times put works on display that had been created during the quarantine. It was an unusual project directly depicting a precarious moment. The project comprised a number of prominent artists, including Helen Cammock, William Kentridge, Annette Mes- sager, and Marianna Simnett. This initiative by KUB — acting quickly and spontaneously — was rewarded.
