CZECH
this out

I am fascinated by the influences of one culture on another culture’s food.  Czech cuisine is heavily influenced by Germany and Hungary’s schnitzels, strudels and goulashes.  But the three national foods always found on the menu are vepro, knedlo and zelo (pork, dumplings and cabbage respectively).  This next Call could be a great way to sample these specialties first hand.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Young International Contest of Contemporary Art (YICCA 2012) which is open to all artists and all media for an exhibition in The Chemistry Gallery in Prague.  This is a great chance to visit Prague at their expense…

YICCA 2012

“YICCA is an ambitious project regarding transparency, comparison and research of new artistic talents.  Nowadays it is becoming more and more difficult to comply with the requirements of art market, in particular – facing the challenge of competing with the constantly increasing number of newly arising artists in the contemporary art field.  YICCA was founded in 2009. The decision of its foundation was taken under the great influence of new ways of making and thinking art that recently have discovered many surprising and unusual forms of art.  This general confusion and rapid change of offers is without any doubt challenging and extremely exciting.  The main goal of YICCA is to understand and to improve  new talents that in this ‘beautiful chaos’ are able to interpret better the upcoming art.” –from the YICCA website
