Guest curator’s exhibition

Experimental Jetset: Two or Three Things I Know About Provo. The Brno Edition

In this exhibition, Dutch graphic design studio Experimental Jetset will reflect on Provo, an Amsterdam anarchist movement that existed between 1965 and 1967. By focusing on printed material produced by the Provo movement, as well as various post-Provo groups, Experimental Jetset aims to explore themes such as the archivist as activist (and vice versa), the printer as auteur and the relationship between the city and the printing press. Undeniably, this exhibition will also have a strong personal dimension, as Marieke Stolk, one of the three members of Experimental Jetset, is in fact the oldest daughter of Rob Stolk (1946-2001), one of the main founders of Provo.

This exhibition will be an extended version of the small, impromptu installation that was displayed between February and March, 2011, at Amsterdam art space W139. For the Brno Edition, Experimental Jetset will transform the exhibition to fit within a more international context.
