Milan Knížák pioneered action art and happenings in the former Czechoslovakia in the 1960s and was associated with the Fluxus movement. In 1962, together with Jan Mach, Vít Mach, Sonia Švecová, Jan Trtílek and Robert Wittmann, he founded the group Aktual, which carried out actions, including happenings and street performances. The works produced by the artist during this period were aimed at drawing the public’s attention to the social crisis in Eastern Europe. Since the 1970s, Knížák’s practice has merged with utopian and contemporary ideas of architecture and design, while dealing with asymmetry, colour, and motion.
