This exhibition showcased the work of Czech artist Jiří Kolář who worked across different media. He was a poet, writer, and translator who expanded the boundaries of modern art by deconstructing the printed image and word. In reassembling and constructing images in collage, he created often absurd commentaries on modern life and the turmoil he faced as a political dissident in Communist Czechoslovakia.
