Sculptor David \u010cern\u00fd is - contrary to most contemporary artists - a Czech cultural figure with high media visibility. He most often creates figurative sculptures made for display in public spaces. Much more than sorting out isolated aesthetic problems he is drawn to intervening in societal relationships and enlivening (animating) media space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
David \u010cern\u00fd studied design and later sculpture at the Art-Industrial College (Vysok\u00e1 \u0161kola um\u011bleckopr\u016fmyslov\u00e1). However the independent cultural scene of the late 1980s\/early 1990s had a more decisive impact on him than his studies. He took part in activities relating to Bullshitfilm. With his friends he created short-term installation and performances that bordered between parties and works of art. He displayed his works at shows under the former monument to Stalin. He created flying dollars for the Andy Warhol Museum in Medzilaborce. His first larger public reaction came from his sculpture of a dying trabant placed on Prague\u2019s Old Town Square (1990).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His Pink Tank(1991), or army tank painted pink and meant to serve as a monument to the Soviet Army, provoked nation-wide discussion and debate. At the time it was a unique, politically-motivated artistic event that earned broad media coverage. Mr. \u010cern\u00fd also attempted to break down public opinion with his mystifying events, Killing Days in Madrid and London, prepared for the Edge 92 Festival. A show at the \u0160pala Gallery in Prague in 1993 marked the climax of David \u010cern\u00fd\u2019s first creative period. At the event he exhibited, among other things, his Kit series, an over-sized pistol first used in the Killing Days (Dni zab\u00edjen\u00ed) and the Malost (Smallness) installation from 1991.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Between 1994 \u2013 1996 David \u010cern\u00fd lived in New York, first as a resident at the P.S. 1 programme and later at the Whitney Studio Programme. He exhibited in the Ronald Feldman Gallery and also took part in the travelling exhibit Beyond Belief. His encounters with the American art scene however had a rather negative impact on him. Upon returning to Prague he began to work on films and simultaneously started to develop the motif of gigantic babies placed on the facades of various building structures. These came from his American period. In 2001 he succeeded in getting his work, Deset Miminek (Ten Babies), placed on the \u017di\u017ekov TV tower. Since the end of the 1990s, David \u010cern\u00fd has realised a number of large projects for public spaces. These include his permanently-displayed Viselec (Hanging Man - 1996) in Prague\u2019s Jilsk\u00e1 Street, as well as his series of bronze models from Czech historical periods: \u010cesk\u00fd betl\u00e9m (Czech Nativity Scene), a work on permanent display in the \u0160koda Pavillion at the Wolfsburg Automotive Museum. David \u010cern\u00fd\u2019s chosen artistic method often focuses on public provocation and testing aesthetic and societal limits. This fact has led to a number of his more financially-demanding projects not having been completed. The list of his works of this type accomplished after 2000 include the interactive fountain at the Herget Brick Mill (Hergetova cihelna), a bus stop in Liberec and a sculpture of a head, entered from the rear, outside the Futura Gallery.<\/p>","date":2006,"authors":[1829]}],"artworks":null,"videos":null},"yoast_head":"\n
