A new issue of Umelec is out now, following successful presentations at
the major art fair Art 31 Basel and in Ljubljana during the opening days
of Manifesta 3. 

Opening issue 3 is an art project by Czech artist Michal Pechoucek. 

In an extensive interview, Vladan Sir speaks with Czech artist Ivan
Vosecky about his recent paintings, politics, God, and the Ozone hole. 

Umelec also brings a fresh report by Lenka Lindaurova from Manifesta 3
in Ljubljana

Petra Jedlickova writes about technology vs. people and themes like
extensions of the body's anatomy, simulation of reality, and the third
gender.

An extensive 8-page spread features photographs of the unique
architecture of Hotel Praha in Prague, designed in the 1970s to serve to
top Communist officials and their visitors. 

Barney W. Greinke writes about his experience from his Cold War Tour,
being chased by the FBI and looking for nuclear silos in Montana.

Karel Cisar brings a report on Peter Land's exhibition at the
Klosterfelde Gallery in Berlin and Milos Vojtechovsky about performance
artists Jan Bas Ader, Sam Hsieh, Linda Montano and others, while Jana
Ticha writes about Robert Heinecken.

Otto M. Urban, again, reaches into the history of art and fishes out
examples of how different artists dealt with the theme of penis. 

Umelec provides an in-depth insight into the history of Kamenrider, the
action hero on Japanese television. 

The Media section brings an article by Michaela Vlkova on internet art
