The curators displayed in glass show-cases toys belonging to forty artists, art theoreticians and architects who grew up in the 1970s and 80s. When we look back we realize that the exhibition was partly a serious and partly an ironic commentary of this kinship and an advance signal of the advent of the period of normalization which became a basic source for the work of a number of Czech artists after the year 2000.

In their openness – in terms of both authorship and chronological delimitation – they are happenings in the purest sense of the word, although this term is rarely applied to the Crusaders’ activities.
If we ignore the footage of Vladimír Boudník in Jaromír Pergler’s 1956 film Action in the Streets of Prague, then the oldest known cinematic record of Czech performance art are Rudolf Němec’s films from the early 1970s.

In July 1981, when Sozanský created his first work in Most, Jiří Putta came to take photographs at the place and the Film and TV School graduate Michal Baumbruck together with the cameraman František Brabec recorded on film there. The resulting film depicts not only the sculptures but also performances with actors which Sozanský staged for the film purposes. The film was called Evacuation and it was shown just few times during the 1980s at meetings of the artist's friends.

The initial idea behind this project was to show the work of artists who were not allowed to display their work freely before 1989 or who belonged to the semi-official art scene. Shortly after the aim was to transform the exhibition into a representative show of contemporary art.
Bohumil Vostal
The film shows the members of the art club of the Bedřich Václavek Community House in Třebíč with Antonín Kybal during their outdoor painting trip which took place in the countryside around Ptáčov in 1959. This club was founded in 1953 for mostly amateur painters and a number of professional painters were involved in their training and education.

The final outcome from the workshop was to be a personal documentary from the location. I asked the tractor train driver to move the train in front of my camera. The train offered some amazing views of the museum. And that etude with a dog in the street at the end of the video happened completely by chance. I filmed and edited the video directly in the camera. Via my walkman I added background music that blared over the museum outdoor loudspeakers. A report on the museum park was created that did not feature any actual events, places or real people. No video could match the intensity of the experience though.
Janka Vidová
Janka Vidová made one of the first videos as a spontaneous student´s work when she was studying in the studio of new media at the Academy of Arts in Prague. The dream-like atmosphere evoked by the choice of archetypal motives (walking in the snow, white rabbits, old people, an idyllic landscape at dusk) was further enhanced by period visual effects (polarisation, colour manipulation, slow motion) and by music.
Jiří David
Jiří David created this film for entirely personal reasons: as a gift for his father (who had shot the original footage) in order to raise his spirits as he suffered from an incurable illness. “The film’s creation was entirely unplanned. I took my father’s 8 mm films and transferred them onto VHS in the simple conditions of our flat: i.e., by projecting them on a screen and filming it with a VHS camera.”
