Stano Filko is considered as an influential utopian and polyartist,
who understood art and life universally and cosmologically as a
unity beyond geographical attributions of East and West. Filko was
one of the most important representatives of the Central European
neo-avant-gardes, whose work has remained current. Early on, he
designed hybrid objects and environments, extending them into
unfamiliar terrains with his basic conceptual approach. Again and
again, the focus of the work changes: assemblages are followed by
text-based works and performances that attempt to circumvent state
repression, and later by large-scale gestural painting,
characterized by artistic self-assertion, and finally by a final
phase, which he dedicates to his increasingly complex "System SF".
The publication approaches the multi-layered œuvre from various
perspectives and takes a fresh look at this exuberant oeuvre. After
achievements in the 1960s, Stano Filko (1937-2015) became persona
non grata as a result of the Prague Spring, which led to a daring
escape from the "Eastern Bloc", his participation in Documenta, and
him eventually moving to New York. After the fall of the Berlin
Wall, he returned to Bratislava and transformed the studio house
Snezienková into a multi-dimensional, colorful "gesamtkunstwerk".
