Jiri Kovanda is one of the few artists who didn't attend to any art school and are famous worldwide as being one of the biggest conceptual artist in Central Europe. From the 1970s in his artistic creativity he used all sorts of different medium such as: instalations („Mole-Hills” 2006, „Untitled” 2007), collage („10 cookies glued into previously prepared recesses in a wall” 2005), photography („Letters” 1976, „Polibek” 1976) and the most often made by him performances („Divadlo (Theatre)” 1976; „Untitled” 1976, „Walled sausage” 2002, „Untitled and” 2006). His artistic actions in public places never had the aim of a cathersis or transformation for the sociaty. They were rather introwertic activites intended for a secondary, gallery-going public.

His latest project „Resistance” is based on the borderline between minimalism and conceptualism.

It is a cohesive work which is composed by: the last year performance in Prague photographicly documented by Martin Polak,  an edition made in collaboration with Dominik Art Edition and as a consequence „actions in space” on Friday 13 June in Cracow.
