Guy Maddin Vs Tereza Buskova

One day I might learn to detach, slow down and check the grammar of what I write about the works of Tereza Buskova. However, that seems to be a massive task given the exciting whirlwind that currently surrounds us.

On the same day that critic Eliza Williams wrote that she found Tereza’s works confusing (10th July, Frieze Online), the Art Gallery of Hamilton's 10th Annual International Film and Video Festival Bell Canada Award Jury had already found her intriguing enough to screen alongside 23 other directors including Guy ‘the David Lynch of Canada’ Maddin.

In fact they had already judged that her Super 8mm film ‘Wedding Rituals’ warranted the Bell Canada Award for Short Film and Video over others already ‘featured at prestigious international festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the Locarno Film Festival’ (Art Gallery of Hamilton).

Tereza Buskova is a 29 year old Czech born artist currently living in London. She is working in both the United Kingdom and Czech Republic, having completed her Masters in Fine Art Printmaking at the Royal College of Art (UK) in 2007. Her first major solo show is currently being exhibited at David Robert’s Gallery One One One, London UK.
