Thursday 21st January 2010Tereza Buskova at the London Art Fair 2010
This years London Art Fair saw 23,200 visitors land at the Islington Business Design Centre to get a look at what was on offer from over 100 premier at galleries. The fair was absolutely enormous this year and you certainly had to be dedicated to make it around the entire show in one day without making very frequent stops at the cafe to refuel.
One of the most interesting parts of the fair was the Photo50 section, which show cased a selection of contemporary photography, by artists that were hand picked by a distinguished panel including Antia Zabludowicz, Ekow Eshun and David Campany.
50 works were shown, and amongst those were the works of Czech-born artist Tereza Buskova. Buskova has seen a great deal of success in recent months with her film work, which is deeply steeped in the ritual and tradition of her home country. Now living and working in London, Tereza has been able to capture the attention of notable art world figures such as Antia Zabludowicz, who brought Buskova to the fair.
Buskova showed a hand full of photographic print works taken from, or based on her films. One such work was the "Beheading of The Cockerel" (pictured above), a still from her most recent film, "Spring Equinox". This work is typical of Terezas colourful and striking style that is fueled by the spectacle and wonder of her homeland traditions.
Buskova has a new film coming out this year, so stay tuned...
