The exhibition project maps the Brno neo-avant-garde scene in the key period beetween 1968 and 1974. Symbolically, the exhibition opens Jiří Valoch´s collection of concrete poetry White Sheets and closes with a reminder of the project by Stan Filko, Miloš Laky and Ján Zavarsky White Space in a White Space, which had, thanks to Jiří Valoch and the courage of Gerta Pospíšilová, the exhibition premiere in Brno. Another exhibition sections represent the characteristic crossing of the boundaries of individual artisctic genres, the demateralization of a work of art, whether it is visual scores, events in nature or concepts and mail-art projects. The exhibition will also commemorate the intense contacts between the Brno and Slovak neo-avant-garde scenes.
