Antihappening

The Mayor Gallery is excited to present
Antihappening, an exhibition of works by Július Koller (b. 1939 Pieštany,
Slovakia – d. 2007 Bratislava, Slovakia), one of the most enigmatic figures of post-war conceptualism. Working in
former Czechoslovakia under Soviet occupation, Koller developed a subversive visual language grounded in
absurdity, play, and resistance. Eschewing grand gestures, he turned everyday actions and symbols into quietly radical
interventions. This exhibition brings together rarely seen works from the 1960s to the 2000s, revealing a practice that
was both deeply personal and profoundly political., most notably through his
Antihappenings and the
U.F.O. (Universal
Futurological Operations) series.
