What determines the value of a work of art? One of the most discussed and at the same time most difficult questions of the contemporary art market is at the centre of Jan Strejcovsky's situational satire. Controversial art collector Robert Runták, gallerist Olga Trčková, and intermedia artist Jiří David reflect on the issue from their position. The mosaic of confident statements and unlikely encounters of different worlds and opinions shows that story, reputation, time, taste, emotions, trends and contacts all play a role. However, in the end, it's all about the deal. Between those who make art and those who pay for it. Strejcovsky's film also plays with the beliefs and expectations of the audience. Perhaps we are watching reality, perhaps a mystifying provocation.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers. Guests will include the film's director Jan Strejcovsky and producer Jakub Wágner.
