ART–y-CHOK-e TV brings you the latest news in the European art scene

Since 2005 Artyčok.TV (ART–y-CHOK-e or artichoke) has been reporting from the art scene in Central Europe: Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Moldavia and also from the United Kingdom.

Artyčok was founded as a non-for-profit broadcasting internet TV platform at the Academy of Arts in Prague to feature news from the contemporary arts scene. In 2005, digital archive was established for contributions from exhibition's openings, interviews with artists/curators and documentaries from workshops, art competitions and lectures.

In the past five years we have featured more than 700 contributions, which are published online at 8 AM of the Central European Time everyday. In our online digital archives you can find works of more than 1500 artists from around the world.

EXTRA:
Slovakia / Tamara Moyzes /
Tamara Moyzes aims not to be overly academic at her work - her art is a pure imagination. She does not comment on the reality from distance as she enters right into the centre of all what's happening now.
