THE SOFT-HEADED
08.03.2011 - 10.04.2011 | The Brno House of Arts
Group exhibition of The SOFT-HEADED group formed twenty years ago in Pilsen which brought together Czech (Miloš Šejn, Milan Maur, Václav Malina, Jan Rauner, Ivona Raimanová), Moravian (Marian Palla, Dalibor Chatrný, Petr Kvíčala, Milan Magni and Jiří Valoch), Selisian (Jiří Šigut, Martin Klimeš, Karel Adamus) and Slovak (Otis Laubert, Dezider Tóth) artists and art theorists. Their pre-Velvet Revolution activities included cooperative events (e.g. Autodafé - burning). The first SOFT-HEADED exhibition was planned for 2009, when the group's members intended to step out of anonymity. Comprehensive documentation of the group's events has been maintained (photographs, video, text materials, etc.). These will be included in the exhibition in addition to the artist's work, and is represented in the accompanying catalog as well. The exhibition is an important contribution to the history of Czechoslovak art of the second half of the 20th century.
