Opening: Vladimír Havlík: Vlasy

Olomouc artist Vladimír Havlík (1959) has been present at every edition of the festival. At the first, as part of Jan Freiberg’s curatorial project Sad (Orchard), he realized Jako strom (Like a Tree), an action he had conceived long before; at the second, he sang with his band Ostrý zub. Havlík came to Olomouc to study and stayed. The strong retrospective tension in his current work plays out through collaboration.
