Exhibition of Czech and Slovak independent
art of 1984 / 244 artists |
|
|
|
May
6 - 19 |
|
We
are proud to have been able to exhibit the artworks of as
much as 244 Czech and Slovak artists amongst who were many
whose works were not allowed for the public eye until 1989
due to the political situation of that time. In 1971 the
Jazz Section, the oldest independent and non-commercial
cultural organization in the Czech Republic, came into being.
During the Communist era Jazz Section refused to be censored
and its leaders were imprisoned. In 1984 the idea for a
project called "Minisalon" was born. Small-sized
wooden boxes (approximately 15 x15 x 5 cm) were sent out
to various artists with an invitation to use the box for
a freely conceived theme, which leaded to a most interesting
variety of works. This project emerged as a reaction to
the situation in the Czechoslovak art world at that time.
For a long period of time the whole collection had to be
stored in the house of its organizer, Joska Skalník,
in order to keep it from the authorities. Finally, in 1992,
it came to its definitive form and was exhibited for the
first time in Prague. Ten years after this the exhibition
got the chance to travel around the world and from May 6-19
2002 the collection is open for public in Museum Puri Lukisan. |
