The exposition, incorporating also the most significant moments of the artist′s life and key topics of his work, was complemented by related works and period materials in form of cards, notes, and photographs from the SNG collections. Besides two exhibition floors, the museum comprised two social spaces: Antiplayground on the ground floor – an interactive space with illustrations of the authorial tandem Fuczik – Kakalík reflecting the “sport” character of Július Koller; and Clubroom in the attic – with a table-tennis table and serving as a social and educational space for more intimate events.
Július Koller (1939 – 2007)
He was a part of the generation of visual artists, who despite being culturally isolated, did not participate in the period art of Socialist Realism, but took their own original path. Today Július Koller is one of our most respected artists around the world. There is no simple answer to the question "why Koller. However, the originality and complexity of Koller's vision of the world, openness and the communicativeness of his artistic gesture is a fact. His works can be found in the collections of the SNG, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Generali Foundation in Vienna and the Tate Gallery in London.
