What's New PRAGUE

Contemporary photography from Czechoslovakia

The cultural intensity and the social contradictions of Prague’s recent past have combined to create a photography so great in its variety that it seems to contain in microcosm all the possibilities of the medium’s history. The Velvet Revolution of 1989 swept the Communists out of power and brought about the first freely elected government the Czechs have had since the period between the world wars. Until 1989, photography was, in fact, an art form the authorities tried to close off to the outside world much as they did Czech society at large. In this presentation of a group of contemporary photographers, curator Colin Westerbeck often places examples of works made before the revolution next to works made since. What these comparisons reveal is not how much the work has changed, but how little. Indeed, these artists have formed their views largely as a reaction to Communist oppression and are still working through feelings instilled in that period.
