Remembering Exhibitions in Exhibition Form. Czechoslovak Exhibitions as Active Co-Creators of the Art History Narrative at the End of the 1960s

Original language description

An exhibition is a medium for the presentation and communication of art that speaks specifically about a given time. Within the new discipline of exhibition histories, the attention of art historians is focused on these ephemeral historical moments. This study therefore examines the ways in which past exhibitions are approached in the rewriting of art history, above all within the context of Central and Eastern Europe. One possibility is a remembering exhibition in the form of a physical return to an iconic exhibition of the past. Drawing on two exhibitions by the Czech curator Jiří Padrta from the end of the 1960s – Někde něco / Somewhere Something and Nová citlivost / New Sensitivity – and comparing them with their closest Western counterparts, this study demonstrates that such reconstructive approaches are an important project of art history. It also presents arguments in favor of the utilization of specific forms of remembering exhibitions drawing on Reesa Greenberg’s typology, especially the exhibition riff, which, in the context of pursuing a horizontal or transnational art history, allows for a more complex immersion in the past and its connection with the present. Remembering exhibitions in exhibition form is thus an important tool for the re-contextualization and examination of a previously excluded art located outside the main art centers, through the lens of the contemporary globalized and decolonized world, as the study illustrates using the example of Jens Hoffmann’s recent curatorial projects.
