The exhibition of documents and period catalogs from the Fine Art Archives (DOX) focuses on the self-organization of visual artists between 1985 and 1995, on alternatives to the hegemony of official structures before the fall of Communism, as well as new associations, groups and platforms emerging in a free post-revolutionary environment. The exhibition covers both the short-term period excesses and anomalies, as well as the emergence of organizations and formations that still determine the contemporary Czech art. The exhibition will be supplemented with period photographs from the VVP AVU archives

The Fotograf Festival is organised by the Fotograf 07 z.s., and held under the auspices of the Mayor of Prague, and with the support of the City Council of Prague (400 000 CZK), the Czech Ministry of Culture and State Fund of Culture.
