Magdalena Jetelová visiting professor at AVU

The artist Magdalena Jetelová, a sculptor whose work combines concepts - primarily land art, photography, but also other media, and a professor at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, is also becoming a visiting professor at the Academy of Art in Prague this year. On the occasion of this significant event, Jetelová met on the evening of February 26 at the residence of the Mayor of Prague with several personalities from the local cultural scene. Among them were architects Johny Eisler, Petr Franta, Vlado Milunić, Stanislav Picek, Jaroslav Šafer, Zdeněk Zavřel, as well as other artists Eva Eislerová, Kurt Gebauer, Marian Karel, Dana Zámečníková, Margita Titlová-Ylovsky, historians and theorists Pavel Halík and Jiří Ševčík, writer Viktor Šlajchrt, gallerist Jaroslav Krbušek, and others. At the beginning, Jiří Šetlík, Nikolaus Gerhart (rector of the Munich Academy), Jiří Sopko (rector of the Prague AVU), art collector Meda Mládková, and Stanislav Zippe greeted Jetelová in Prague with short speeches. The meeting culminated in the launch of the book "Magdalena Jetelová," published by Gallery, and a fragmentary video presentation of her work, which the author personally commented on. The soirée also became a small celebration of endeavors whose meaning Jetelová seeks in experiencing the "curvature of the earth," which "brings us to ourselves."
