The Power of Act: Jan Palach and Jan Zajíc's Influence in Art (1969-2009)

This exhibition extends the project 'Anatomy of a Leap into the Void,' examining the response of artists to the crucial period of the Prague Spring and Normalization in Czechoslovakia. It focuses on Jan Palach and Jan Zajíc, showcasing artworks that reflect their memory and impact, alongside film, literature, music, and spoken word from the era.

Building upon the 'Anatomy of a Leap into the Void' project, this exhibition delves into the artistic interpretations and societal memory of Jan Palach's and Jan Zajíc's acts of protest. It maps the era from 1967 to 1972 and artists' reactions, extending the focus to works created in response to their deaths years later. The exhibition demonstrates that despite suppression by the totalitarian regime, Palach's memory persists. Beyond artworks, the display incorporates film and literary production of the time, including posters and book covers, alongside music recordings and spoken word.
