Three Czech Sound Artists, a documentary by Dan Senn presents Jíří Suchánek October 2017

Jíří Suchánek is a sound artist from the Czech Republic. This film is a wide ranging interview taped at the artist's studio, then under construction, in Brno and is one of three documentaries made of Czech sound artists interviewed for Three Czech Sound Artists by Dan Senn. The subjects, Lucie Vítková, Jakub Rataj, and Jiří Suchánek, are all sound artists with advanced music degrees, but are vastly different in their individual approaches to time-based art. Lucie's works tend toward musical theatre, dance, the use of found objects and may be considered an extension of the fluxus movement. Jakub is a composer of complex music scores with deep European roots, who deftly uses electronics, dancers, sound sculpture and film, etc. Jiří's works extend from the concert stage, himself a performer, to large public art works reminscent of the German-American Trimpin-an inventor of elaborate high tech kinetic instruments.
