His performances, in the parlance of that time \u201cactions\u201d, most often took place in Brno. Some possessed the character of private collective events for which he provided a framework in the form of situation or props. The course of the event then depended on the reaction and improvisation of the participants and was documented by means of photography and film. In the latter half of the 1970s the role of the direct audience or participants declined, and many events were created only for the notional audience of the photographic documentation.\r\nIn his events, Ambroz intuitively developed the logic of experimental art of the 1970s. However, his works were also an expression of an alternative to the official reality of that time. His circle of friends included Miloslav Sonny Halas and Marian Palla, who were involved in similar activities on the interface of life and art. After 1976 Ambroz learned from the international journal <i>Flash Art<\/i> about the existence of the Prague performers Petr \u0160tembera, Karel Miler, Jan Ml\u010doch, etc. He struck up contact with them that was to prove inspiring and grew into personal friendships and the organisation of joint festivals. One of the important events of this kind was the meeting that took place in Ambroz\u2019s studio in December 1980. It was here that Petr \u0160tembera undertook his last performance in public, in which Milan Kozelka and Vladim\u00edr Ambroz played an active role. Individual performances were filmed on a borrowed video camera, which in the context of Czech art performance was a unique form of record. Unfortunately all that remains of the film are some stills.\r\nAmbroz\u2019s work from the late 1970s dissolves the boundary between art and life and is open to conceptual tendencies. It reflects general civilisational themes and reacts to the atmosphere of the culmination of normalisation. One example is a series of performances in which the artist confronts a horizontal traffic signpost. By means of lines he isolates himself from his surroundings, walks unambiguously in the opposite direction to the arrows, or places a dividing line on his body and riskily places himself in the middle of the highway. His fascination with the media, especially television, had a similarly critical albeit ironic content. In <i>TV Look<\/i>&nbsp;(1977) he and some friends watched television with sunglasses on and the sound turned down. In <i>Mediaman<\/i>&nbsp;(1980) he styled himself as a martyr of the media, and in <i>TV Piece<\/i>&nbsp;he voluntarily watched an entire day\u2019s broadcasting by Czech TV without a break.\r\nWithin the context of Czechoslovak performance, Ambroz\u2019s work laid a unique emphasis on the expression of the photographic documentation, most often created in collaboration with Marie Kratochv\u00edlov\u00e1 and&nbsp;Miroslav Ambroz. The aim was not only to record the event, but also to create a meaningful image, the effect of which was as close as possible to the procedures of art or conceptual photography. The photographs were often taken on the basis of a carefully thought-out composition. His interest in photography culminated in events in which, with the aid of mirrors or mirror film, he gave consideration to the reflection of reality, knowledge and subjective embodiment of the surrounding world. However, many of these works remained unexhibited during his life.\r\nIn the late 1970s\/early 80s, Ambroz worked on a range of mostly unfinished architectural installations or situations that have survived in the form of drawings or textual scripts and that reflect the hopelessness of the Cold War climate, which seemed headed for the mutual assured destruction of nuclear war. After 1981 Ambroz, like many other Czechoslovak artists working in a similar field, brought an end to his performance activities and, with a few exceptions, pursued only his architectural work.","date":2018,"authors":[1829]}],"artworks":[118527,118537,118538,118539,118540,118541,118542,118543,118544,118545],"videos":[3048]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
