Roman Ondak’s Letter to the Slovakian minister of culture serves as a characteristic example of analytical, post-conceptual thought. At the same time, it illustrates Ondak’s development away from objects and installation towards staging temporary situations and imaginative site-specific constructions that predict various communication patterns in behavior and in the perception of things. The question formulated in the Letter alludes to a series of references and cultural interpretations: the balancing act between artistic freedom and the artist’s dependence on institutions (to this day, there is still no museum for contemporary art in Slovakia).
