Although Robert Cyprich is a legend of the Slovak Neo-Avant-Garde scene, he belongs to its lost and unknown characters. He quietly disappeared from the art scene in the late 1980s, and in 1996 he died in almost complete isolation.

The exhibition featured artworks as representative examples of various phases of Cyprich’s work and its variable positions. It was not aimed to be a monograph of the artist, but a selective representation pointing out an important aspect of his life – his search for the meaning of art in communication, in the “poetization” of the civil, and his efforts to create impulses and disseminate them so that the artwork itself would be a life practice.

Part of the exhibition was Extensive Situation, a parallel participative project of artists who interpreted as well as updated the legacy of Cyprich’s thoughts, and his artistic and theoretical concepts. The artworks and performances were created specifically for this exhibition and re-updated the meaning of creation based on cooperation, collective experience transfer and sharing.
