Rachel Whiteread
- - -

is a British artist, best known for her sculptures, which typically take the form of casts, and first woman to win the Turner Prize.
Whiteread is one of the so-called Young British Artists, and exhibited at the Royal Academy's Sensation exhibition in 1997. She is probably best known for Ghost, a large plaster cast of the inside of a room in a Victorian house, and for her resin sculpture for the empty plinth in London's Trafalgar Square.



"House”, 1993 concrete
House, perhaps her best known work, was a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993, exhibited at the location of the original house — 193 Grove Road — in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). It drew mixed responses, winning her both the Turner Prize for best young British artist in 1993 and the K Foundation art award for worst British artist. Tower Hamlets London Borough Council demolished House on 11 January 1994,[4] a decision which caused some controversy itself.



"Sequel IV”, 2002, Plaster, polystyrene and steel
... For example her 2002 sculpture "Sequel IV”, is a casting of the enclosing space surrounding the backs of a library shelf done in plaster. ...

Ghost (1990)
In 1990 she expanded on her earlier work with Ghost, the first of her works to cast an entire living space and the first to bring her to the attention of the public and critics. Like her earlier works, it shows signs of a place having been lived in, with patches of wallpaper and specks of colour from paint discernible on the walls. It is a cast of an entire room, and this motif was expanded in 1993 with House. It was purchased by the dominant collector Charles Saatchi.



Embankment (2005-2006) for The Unilever Series
In spring 2004, she was offered the annual Unilever Series commission to produce a piece for Tate Modern's vast Turbine Hall, delaying acceptance for five to six months until she was confident she could conceive of a work to fill the space. Throughout the latter half of September 2005 and mid-way into October her work Embankment was installed and was made public on October 10. It consists of some 14,000 transluscent, white polyethylene boxes (themselves casts of the inside of cardboard boxes) stacked in various ways; some in very tall mountain-like peaks and others in lower (though still over human height), rectangular, more levelled arrangements. They are fixed in position with adhesive. She cited the end scenes of both Raiders of the Lost Ark and Citizen Kane as visual precursors, she also spoke of the death of her mother and a period of upheaval which involved packing and moving comparable boxes. It is also thought that her recent trip to the Arctic is an inspiration, although critics counter that white is merely the colour the polyethylene comes in, and it would have added significantly to the expense to dye them. The boxes were manufactured from casts of ten distinct cardboard boxes by a company that produces grit bins and traffic bollards.

Palo Fabuš - Internet: Pokus o demýtizaci

Je internet kyberprostorem? Jaký je rozdíl mezi reálnou a virtuální komunikací? Zahltí nás amatéři? Je internet nástrojem demokracie? A je skutečně globální vesnicí? Uvažování o internetu jakožto kulturně-společenském fenoménu se od 90.let změnilo. Mnohé způsoby chápání tohoto nového média však přetrvaly, proto je třeba podívat se ně znova - s odstupem. Internet má sice krátkou ale prudkým vývojem vyznačující se historii. Dosavadní zkušenosti nám proto umožňují přehodnotit naděje (ale i obavy) vkládané do internetu v jeho počátcích.
