Conférence Jirí Kovanda

From his first performances, held in public space in Prague in the mid-1970’s, where his precisely scripted, minimal and apparently mundane actions were recorded through photography and text, to his later installations, paintings, and staged interventions, Kovanda has remained an important influence on later generations of artists. Film as Sculpture features The Nervous System, a piece made by Zbyněk Baladrán in collaboration with Kovanda, a frequent collaborator and inspiration on the younger artist’s practice.
Kovanda’s presentation is supported by the Czech Centre in Brussels.
