Czech performance style characterised by the use of black box theatre augmented by black light trickery. Although this performance style can be found in many places around the world, nowhere is it more prolific or specialized than in Prague. Some sample images:

David Cerny: frilly pink tanks,
babies climbing TV towers, and the president feeding slops to the director of the national gallery out of
giant asses. Why, this could only be the NEA gone awry!
Actually, it’s
Magic Prague, the land of
Franz Kafka and
Milan Kundera, and the artist, like the dissidents of past generations, would rather not do political art ,
political art. His latest sculpture ridicules the perverse situation in which the country finds itself post Havel: a place where right-wingers like
President Klaus and national gallery director Milan Knížák— a past collaborator with secret police, and worse,
completely idiotic and banal performance artist — prosper and rub shoulders at the expense of those with a conscience and good taste. Like
David Cerny.
This isn’t the freshest post, but I’ve been waiting to join Mefi for a long time, and today is the first day I can post.
