Bezhlavý jezdec

Contemporary reflections on Czech art of the 1990s oscillate ambivalently between  the long temporality of the end of state socialism and the shorter temporality of the  post-communist transformation. “United in diversity,” for seven years the group Bezhlavý jezdec (Headless Rider) merged the trajectories of four distinct artists – Josef Bolf, Ján Mančuška,  Jan Šerých and Tomáš Vaněk. The first monograph on the group, this publication brings together  an extensive collection of previously unpublished artworks and documents, a comprehensive  interview with the artists and an art-historical essay connecting their work with the cultural  dynamics of the time and contemporary reflections on the period.
