Book launch of monography Tomáš Ruller PERFORM-MADE

The monography of Tomáš Ruller – an essential representative of action art and video art – is his first comprehensive assessment of the more than forty-year artistic career. His work is explored by leading Czech and international art theorists as well. An inseparable part of the book is a significant, often unique photographic documentation of the author’s personal considerations and reflections of his own work. The book is launched in Czech-English language mutation.

The book will be presented by the author together with editor Dušan Brozman and other text co-authors, photographers, and collaborators.
