- Summary
- An influential figure in Eastern Europe's 1960s neo-avant-garde, Stano Filko synthesized Dada, Pop art, Fluxus and Conceptual art into a universalist vision of art and life. Influenced by subjects such as modernist architecture, mathematical algorithms, but also spiritual transcendence and the cosmos, he designed pneumatic objects and interactive environments, assemblages, text-based works, performances and happenings that attempted to circumvent state repression. Having fled to West Germany in 1981, Filko exhibited at Documenta 7 in Kassel in 1982, and then relocated to New York, where he took up neo-expressionist painting, embracing a rainbow-colored chakra system, System SF, that he explored for the rest of his life.0Not least thanks to his curiosity, experimental approach, and self-criticism Filko?s works sustain a character of contemporaneity and remain meaningful today.0STANO FILKO (1937, Ve?ká Hradná?2015, Bratislava) was considered one of the most influential Slovakian artists from the 1960s until his death. Following achievements as a conceptual artist, he became persona non grata as a result of the suppression of the Prague Spring in 1968. After having managed to escape to West Germany in 1981, he relocated to New York in 1982. In 1990 he returned to Bratislava, where he transformed the Snes?enkova studio house into a Gesamtkunstwerk designed according to the principles of his System SF.00Exhibition: Halle für Kunst Steiermark, Graz, Austria (19.03. - 05.06.2022).
