This exhibition could easily be called R.I.P. B.H.G., and with some irony such name was really considered. The artist group Black Hole Generation (B.H.G.) of painters David Krňanský, Julius Reichel, Martin Lukáč and graphic designer Štěpán Marko had such difference of opinion at one time that they saw no chance to continue together. Yet the need to provoke, define themselves against current global art, its functioning, hierarchy, substitution of individuality by collective authorship and critical self-reflection on the medium of painting, are the main common characteristics of this protean group. This is shown to a quite some extent in all of their projects, including the present one at Kvalitář, which finally received a ‘discount’ name 999 % OFF and which has Namor Ynrobyv as a guest.
