Author Description

The exhibition and publication?In Defiance? will present Czech architecture between 1969 and 2019 and its representatives defining spiritual and commercial totalitarianism. That means a view of the history of fifty years of Czech architecture in terms of the moral consistency of the creators. The main themes are architectural freedom, defense of public space, unofficial structures and exceptional achievements (exhibitions, workshops, happenings, etc.). In addition to the presentation of personalities and events, there will be a focus on a particular situation of the period, historical, political and artistic context and the development of events or individual institutions and organizations and groups.00The shape of the exhibition will be based on a timeline showing individual themes and personalities or groups on three levels: for an common viewer, for an informed viewer and for those interested in detailed information. Due to the nature of this theme, the exhibition will be based on clear graphics, explanatory comments, communicative and visually attractive originals, copies, photographs, printed materials (official and dissident) and models.00Exhibition: Galerie Jaroslava Fragnera, Prague, Czech Republic (05.12.2019 - 26.01.2020).
