Book tip: Július Koller: An Artists' ArtistJúlius Koller, one of the most important representatives of the “unofficial” art scene in Slovakia (and formerly in Czechoslovakia) is presented comprehensively for the first time in a volume of images and conversations entitled “Univerzálne Futurologické Operácie” (Universal Futurological Operation). Koller, who was born in 1939 in Piešťany, Slovakia has, since the very start of his practice as an artist in mid-1960s, always seen his work as a “cultural process”. With his “Anti-happenings” and “Anti-environments” he has influenced both his contemporaries as well as the younger generation of artists. His works are erratic, ironical and playful. They search for an emotional occupation of places and are intended to "give back the direct experience of the reality of the artwork”. (Georg Schöllhammer). In this monograph the slogans of the 64-year-old artist about “Art” and “Anti-art” are contrasted, questioned and documented. (al)Koller, Július, Univerzálne Futurologické Operácie.
