About

THE ARCHIVE COLLECTION of the Vašulka Kitchen Brno currently consists of physical and digital art works, multimedia installations, digital and analog data such as software, web pages, installation materials, expert studies, work concepts, media, various analogue and technical devices and players, as well as a personal collection comprising various documents, photographs and the Vašulkas’ personal correspondence.

THE CORE OF THE COLLECTION consists of a number of works by Woody and Steina Vašulka, all either owned or on long-term loan by the association. These include prints from the Lucifer’s Commission series (1977–2003), a computer study from the Triads series (2003) and the spatial installation Light Revisited – Noisefields (2001) which was created by transforming the Vašulkas’ original, one-channel video Noisefields from 1974.

THE ARCHIVE FILES now contain almost 870 GB of partly inventoried digital data, many Hi8 tapes, VHS tapes, MiniDV and DVD media, as well as a few boxes of unique catalogs and family photo albums. There is also a set of master tapes and their variations which the Vašulkas donated to the VKB association and which include the works of other artists from the MindFrames exhibition held at ZKM (2006), produced by the Vašulkas and Peter Weibel. Most of these materials date to the period of the legendary The Kitchen space in New York City, which Woody and Steina Vašulka co-founded and dramaturgically co-produced between 1971–1973. A part of our digital and personal collection also consists of much material donated by curator and art historian Lenka Dolanová who acquired it from the Vašulkas during her stay in Santa Fe.

ARCHIVE vkbamenu_itemS IN THE DATABASE are processed in both Czech and English and each one is logged under an inventory number and index. The inventoried materials include information about the date of their creation and the inventory entry, file format, authors and commentary on their original source. Keywords constitute an important part of the logs, allowing researchers and anyone interested in the life and work of the Vašulkas, as well as of other media and video artists from central Europe, to process the diverse and thematically connected materials across the entire database.
