It was a pleasure to take part in the pop-up exhibition at the Veolia premises in Ostrava (3-12/2025). The collaboration with Artist’s Hero and its founder Marek Jakůbek was highly professional in every aspect – from transport and installation to the presentation of the exhibition. I would like to thank Marek for the friendly dialogue and Bára Alex Kašparová for the curation. I wish Artist’s Hero the best of luck with their future projects!

Already during your studies at AVU, you become familiar with what the careers of other figures from the art world look like. Gradually, you discover your own opportunism as a certain driving force that cannot be simply suppressed. You begin to ask questions about where and in what light you will exhibit, who will represent you, and who will follow your work. The art world in which you exist should ideally be clear and transparent, at least as far as the values at stake within it are concerned. The art world has varying degrees of resolution. Some institutions can make an artist appear larger, while others will shrink them or let them disappear into the noise. Over time, you begin to notice that individual exhibition opportunities are not just neutral places where you place your work. And sometimes you also discover that opportunism does not necessarily have to be something to be ashamed of. That is perhaps the strange paradox of an artistic career: you try to create something meant to be independent of the system, and at the same time, you spend your whole life learning how to exist within that system. And yet, through all of this, there is one more—perhaps the most important—factor: the human element. Behind all the institutions, galleries, names, and their varying degrees of resolution are specific people who decide whose trust to earn, who to approach, and with whom they want to collaborate. In our case, this is primarily Anna Pulkertová and Marek Jakúbek, whose approach represents for us precisely that rare combination of professionalism, trust, and personal interest. At such a moment, the initial question of where and in what light one presents oneself begins to change slightly. It is no longer just about the value a given place holds in the hierarchy of the art world, but also about the people you meet there and what you are able to offer one another.

During my cooperation with Artist's Hero, I immensely appreciated their professionalism and expertise at every step of the project. Thanks to open communication, mutual respect, and a shared passion for art, we managed to create a friendly bond, which made our work for the clients Proxenta and Czech Crunch not only efficient but also very enjoyable.
