For most of the participants this was the first presentation of their work in the country, while a surprising number of them came from Eastern Europe avant-g…arde circles pointing to an obscure and little researched connection between Japan and this thriving, underground scene.

Add to basketA substantial collection of 42 works of concrete poetry, documentation of poetic performances, and artist books by the central figures in unofficial and experimental poetry in Communist Czechoslovakia - Ji?í Valoch, Karel Miler, J.H. Kocman, and Václav Vokolek. A special highlight of the group is the collection of 30 works of co…ncrete poetry, poetic performances, and artist books by Ji?í Valoch (b. 1946), a key figure in unofficial and experimental Czech poetry and art of the 1960s-1980s. The present collection was assembled by the pioneer of concrete poetry in Poland, Stanis?aw Dró?d?, with most materials traceable to specific curatorial or publishing projects. The works of J.H. Kocman and Václav Vokolek in the collection likely go back to the exhibition of Czech and Slovak concrete poetry which Dró?d? organised in 1976. The substantial collection of materials by Ji?í Valoch was likely used in his solo exhibition which Dró?d? organised in Wroc?aw in 1979. A solo exhibition of Václav Vokolek was held in Wroc?aw in the same year, with a brochure for the solo show also included in this collection. Many of the works in this collection are signed and dated by the artists, with some including a dedication to Dró?d? I. Ji?í Valoch A collection of 30 works of concrete poetry, poetic performances, and artist books by Ji?í Valoch (b. 1946), a key figure in unofficial and experimental Czech poetry and art of the 1960s-1980s. A conceptual artist working in visual poetry, photographic poetry, text installations, mail art, and organizing numerous unofficial art exhibitions, Valoch's place in the Czechoslovak art world was similar to that of Stanis?aw Dró?d? in the Polish context. Like Dró?d?, Valoch studied philology. He started creating visual poetry in 1963, earlier than Dró?d?, likely because the form was better known in Czechoslovakia which had a relatively more open cultural environment until Prague Spring of 1968. Valoch would eventually graduate from Masaryk University in Brno, with a thesis on visual poetry in 1971. Starting in 1972, Valoch worked as a curator at The House of Arts in Brno. After the Prague Spring and throughout the 1970s, the political climate would shift and Poland would come to have the more culturally liberal environment. As a result, throughout the 1970s Valoch would present his work more often abroad, taking part in the Fluxus movement, publishing books with Something Else Press and other projects with Dick Higgins, George Brecht, and George Maciunas. He also exhibited in Brazil, Germany, and Poland throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Valoch's first solo exhibition in Poland was held at Jaros?aw Koz?owski's Akumulatory Gallery in Pozna? in 1974, followed by an exhibition organized by Józef Robakowski, in ?ód? in 1976. Stanis?aw Dró?d? curated an exhibition of Czech and Slovak concrete poetry in Wroc?aw in 1976, which included the works of Valoch. Dró?d? would also curate a solo show of Valoch in 1979, with many of these works likely brought to Poland for these exhibitions. According to the art historian Helena Musilova, it was the rich exchange with Poland in these years that inspired Valoch to organise the 1980 exhibition Contemporary Czech Drawing (Soucasna ceska kresba) which caused a scandal, and resulted in a ban on his domestic publishing (See: Helena Musilova, "Sou?asná ?eská kresba [Contemporary Czech Drawing]: Ji?í Valoch and the Possibility of Organizing a Collective Exhibition during the so-called Normalization Period", in Notebook for Art, 2019). The ban would lead Valoch to publish unofficially, and to distribute his work abroad and underground. The works of Ji?í Valoch are held by international private and public collections including The Centre Pompidou, The Ludwig Museum, Tate Modern, and The Stedelijk Museum among many others. II.
