Other Countries Fire Back on Entropa and Humiliate Czechs (Ostatní země Reagují na Entropu a Ponižují Čechy)

January 29, 2009

Článek v ČEŠTINĚ dole (Klikněte na “Read the rest …”)

To mark its presidency over the EU, the Czech government wanted to create a sculpture of all countries, named Entropa, of the European Union. These pieces of art were supposed to be the work of artists from each country of the union. David Cerny, a Czech artist was selected as the leader of this project that would be displayed in Brussels, Belgium. When the final work was revealed, it not only shocked everybody due to the fact that the only author of this work was Cerny and his affiliates, but the sculpture itself humiliated several countries, such as Germany, Latvia, or Bulgaria. Many European artists wanted to react to Entropa and created caricatures of the Czech Republic through their eyes.

 

Austria (zpravy.idnes.cz)

A Slovak artist, Martin Sutovec, drew a caricature of a known beetle (Brouk Pytlik) that showed Czechs as weasels wearing socks with sandals. Oliver Schopf, an Austrian caricaturist illustrated Czechs as people that always protest against something. He said, “Now show us you also have a sense of humor.” A Bulgarian artist, Veneta Gergova, reflected back on a Turkish toilet (that was shown as a symbol of their country) with a beer that was probably a reason for Cerny’s irrational thinking. Urmas Nemvalts, from Estonia even attacked the famous Czech illustrator Josef Lada by putting Svejk on a goat with a beer overruling Gazprom. (Read our last article about Josef Lada, an author of illustrations Good Soldier Svejk). :-)

What do you think about this reaction? Who do you think should be responsible for Entropa -the infamous David Cerny or the Czech government?

Bulgaria (zpravy.idnes.cz)

Česká vláda vytvořila plastiku všech zemí v EU pod jménem Entropa, která označuje české předsednictví Evropské Unie. Tento umělecký kus měl být prací umělců z každé země Evropské unie. Český umělec David Černý byl vybrán k vedení tohoto projektu, který byl určen pro finální zobrazení v Bruselu, Belgie. Když závěrečné dílo vyšlo najevo, nejen že šokovalo všechny kvůli tomu, že jediným autorem této práce byl Černý a jeho přátelé, ale plastika sama urazila několik zemí, například Německo, Lotyšsko, nebo Bulharsko. Mnozí evropští umělci chtěli reagovat na Entropu a vytvořili karikatury o tom, jak vidí Českou republiku svýma očima.

Švejk (zpravy.idnes.cz)

Slovenský umělec Martin Sutovec, nakreslil karikaturu známého brouka Pytlíka, který znázornil Čechy jako chytráky, kteří nosí ponožky se sandály. Oliver Schopf, rakouský karikaturista prosazuje, že Češi jsou lidé, kteří vždy proti něčemu protestují. Řekl: “Teď se ukažte, jestli máte i smysl pro humor.” A bulharská umělkyně, Veneta Gergova, reaguje na turecký záchod (který byl znázorněn jako symbol jejich země) s českým pivem, které pravděpodobně bylo také důvodem pro iracionální myšlení Černého. Urmas Nemvalts, z Estonska dokonce napadl slavného českého ilustrátora Josef Ladu tím, že ukázal Švejka na velkopopovickém kozli s pivem ovládajícím Gazprom. (Přečtěte si náš poslední článek o Josefu Ladovi, autorovi ilustrací Dobrého Vojáka Švejka). :-)

Co si myslíte o těchto reakcích? Kdo si myslíte, že by měl být odpovědný za Entropu - neblaze proslulý David Černý či česká vláda?
