Summary

The Czech files maps out the historical development of the Czech 'second avant-garde' (or 'neo-modernism') in the 1960s and 1970s, and brings to light many unknown stories and references from these eight artists born between the two World Wars. It thus contextualizes a generation of Czech artists who lived through the Prague Spring and the 'normalization' period, and draws attention to their defiance of the Socialist system through their radical and vital practices.
