As foreshadowed in the Telegraph podcasts and presentations article, there are a number of interesting things to listen to, watch or read on our site. Here we focus on interviews with artists, curators and other people connected to the Telegraph. For example, you can read about what their journey to art was like and interesting information about their projects.
You will find quite a large number of interviews here and they can be divided into several imaginary categories. One of these includes interviews with artists in residence who, in addition to reflecting on their time at the Telegraph, present their work and creative journey. So you can read about the creation of the current mural, as well as the past one on the Telegraph building by Monika Žáková, the search for motifs in the work of Gábor Pinter, why Michal Rapant became a painter or the concept of the figure of Matouš Háša. The theme of hunter realism is explored in an interview with Filip Kůrka, while conceptual art and the placement of an inflatable island on the roof of the Telegraph is discussed by Danish artist Søren Dahlgaard. We were drawn back to painting by David Krňanský and Jakub Sýkora. The series of residents is followed by an interview with David Pešat, who ended his stay with an open studio. Another artist in residence Sabina Knetlová did the same, followed by Nikola Emma Ryšavá and Barbora Valášková. The last artist in residence was Alžběta Krňanská, whose works are also featured in the new installation Connections. Also spending time in residence was Laura Limbourg, whose most recent residency at the Telegraph moved to the top floor - Loft, where she presented her new art series inspired by her travels across the US. In February last year, Stanislav Ondruš presented his work - again outside the main gallery space, specifically in the Telegraph cinema. A few months later, Tomáš Roubal also presented his work in the same place. The light installation Space of Perception was presented in the main exhibition space by Pavel Korbička and in an interview he spoke not only about it, but also about his sources of inspiration. These are also mentioned in his testimony by another artist - Jan Poupě, who also reveals his way of processing themes with the exhibition Neuralscape. Also commenting on their works at the later Open Studio were Karolína Netolická, sculptor Patrik Adamec, Margarita Ivy, Belén Uriel, Rita Koszorúz and Taya Spasskova. Italian painter Giacomo Modolo and Slovak artist Lucia Tallová worked at the residency during the summer. She has exhibited some of the works she worked on in the gallery. Just before her exhibition you could see photographs by Søren Dahlgaard together with sculptures and collages by Jakub Janovský. In the winter months, Jake Chapman also had his paintings here, and before his exhibition, there were also colour paintings by Andrej Dúbravsky.
For the past three years, the space in front of the Telegraph has also been illuminated by a sculpture of a beast called Mimicry by Michal Gabriel, who in an interview commented specifically on art in public space in general. For the Telegraph's 5th birthday, a Together sculpture by Sabina Knetlova was unveiled.
Artists closely connected to the Telegraph through a long-standing collaboration were also given their own space. You can read an interview with graphic designer and photographer Matěj Doležel, who is, for example, the author of merchandise for the exhibition May, Mark Thera, or the serigraphic design of the covers of the catalogues of the Lazy 8 exhibition, or with photographer Veronika Burgrová, who is the author of the images from most of the openings, guided tours and other events that take place here. The Telegraph's bookbinding workshop featured Iva Krupicová, who revealed how she goes about creating a book or graphic design. Cooperation was also established with Jana Filipova, who provides lectures, seminars or workshops with interesting personalities in the field of business and personal development for the Telegraph. Also increasingly popular is Ondrej Riffler's video podcast, which invites interesting personalities from various arts sectors to the Telegraph.
As part of the lecture series Promotion in the Creative Industries, Jana Trundová told us what led her to co-found the Olomouc-based architecture and design studio mimokolektiv. Aneta Macolová talked about her work for Czechdesign. Last but not least, you can read interviews with several designers - Jakub Kovařík, the author of the visual identity of the Telegraph, Kateřina Janků for graphic design and Renáta Jančo for textile design. You can read an interview with Veronika Švábeníková, who is currently working on marbled vases called Marble, about her ceramics studies.
You can also read an interview with gallery owner Alexandra Karpuchina, who gave a lecture as part of the Contemporary Art Collecting series, in which you can learn from successful collectors what led them to the need to own artifacts by contemporary artists. The first presenter was Telegraph owner Robert Runták, who spoke about collecting art in several interviews. Miloš Přikryl also contributed a talk about collecting - this time vases - and presented his collection in a short-term exhibition at the Lofts. Petr Hájek spoke about how unexpectedly one can get to art, but also about gallery work with space. Guests included Pavla Kosař and Miroslav Jiřele, Jan Dotřel, Zuzana and Pavol Wiess, curator and educator Vladimír Beskid, collectors Lucie Havlová and Tomáš Hendrych, Tomáš Ciba, Barbora Půlpánová and Patrik Šimon.
In addition to the artists themselves, there are also interviews with the curators of exhibitions held at the Telegraph. Jane Neal spoke not only about her journey to curating, but also directly about the German Painting Now and New Positions in British Painting exhibitions she presented with us. Christian Kortengaard Madsen shed more light on the Lazy 8 exhibition, which gave space to two Danish artists - Frederik Næblerød and Farshad Farzanki. Curator Michal Škoda and Topographies of Solitude responded to us about her long-term collaboration with Silvia L. Čúzy. The last guest was curator Jan Kudrna, who is intrinsically linked to the Robert Runták collection and also to the concept of the Signal and Lucie Tallová exhibitions I Wish I Were Made of Stone.
For the Brave World exhibition, a series of interviews with all five artists in the exhibition were conducted, with questions posed by art historian Barbora Kundračíková. You can gain greater insight into the work of Robert Gabris, Anne Neukamp, Primože Bizjak, Markéta Magidová and Yuli Yamagata. We interviewed both the painter Zbyněk Sedlecky and the curator Peter Vaňous about the exhibition Stagings.
Within the already launched lecture series, which deals with the presentation of artists, Ladislav Daněk answered. Read about his painting and drawing work and curatorial practice at the Olomouc Museum of Art. Also featured in this series are artists Michal Gabriel, Patrik Adamec and Natália Šimonová. Also Jakub Sýkora, Rita Koszorúz, Sabina Knetlová, Marek Galbavý, Petr Vaňous, Václav Buchtelík with Samuel Kollárik, Jan Hísek, Margita Titlová Ylovsky, Daniel Balabán.
On the occasion of the popular exhibition New Positions in British Painting, a series of five interviews with artists Jessie Makinson, Justin Mortimer, David Brian Smith, Caroline Walker and Tom Anholt.
The Connections exhibition, which captivated with its unconventional metaphysical concept, was planned and realized by curator Anezka Šimková. An interview with this creative personality can also be found on the following list. This exhibition featured the work of several Czech artists including - Karel Malich, Petr Nikl, Tomáš Lampar, Anna Simkova, Margita Titlova Ylovsky, Inge Koskova, Jana Kasalová, Taja Spasskova, Jiří Kornatovský, Přemysl Martinec, Jan Hisek, Johanna Silbermann, now based in Berlin.
We were also interviewed by visiting German artist Johanna Silbermann. Her work is characterised by her intention to paint abstractly and figuratively at the same time. In addition to an interview with the artist, visitors were also able to attend an open studio.
In addition to interviews with exhibiting or visiting artists, you can find out what it's like to work on podcasts here at The Telegraph, what the process is like to prepare and what it's like to collaborate with certain artists or personalities in general in our interview with Ondrej Riffler.
