White Space in White Space Archive
/24
In 1973, the three young Slovak artists Stano Filko, Miloš Laky, and Ján Zavarský began creating the legendary project “White Space in White Space,” of which Kontakt holds major parts. The aim of intensifying investigations relating to this key work of the Eastern European Neo-Avantgarde resulted in an extensive research project initiated in 2015 by Kontakt and conducted by Daniel Grúň. With the assistance of involved individuals, experts, and art institutions associated with “White Space,” detailed documentation was compiled. The attendant comprehensive analysis brings together the various manifestos, artists’ writings, catalogue texts and reviews, unpublished correspondence, and rich photographic documentation of all the various stages. And in addition to analyzing this material as a joint initiative by three artists that (taken as a whole) developed over the course of nearly a decade, the resulting archive also attempts to retrace the separate developments undertaken by Stano Filko from 1977 onward.
The research pursued as part of this project is presented in the Kontakt publication “White Space in White Space / Biely priestor v bielom priestore, 1973−1982. Stano Filko, Miloš Laky and Ján Zavarský,” edited by Daniel Grúň, Christian Höller, and Kathrin Rhomberg
