And another artwork by Peter Kalmus at this gallery and they note that:
“Peter Kalmus is primarily known to the public through various media reports (pouring red paint in the bust of Vasil Biľak, throwing mud on Tiso’s memorial plaque, etc.) The collection of yellow postal delivery notices (from the courts, police, NAKA, etc.) here becomes a symbol of his tireless determination to fight for his principles.”
These seem a rather nice thing to collect if you happen to get plenty of them and I like the creating order from chaos element to this. Without verging into the area of Slovakian politics that I know nothing about, it seems that Vasil Biľak is now widely seen as an enemy of the people, so I’m not sure chucking red paint proved to be overly controversial. As for Tiso, I’m not sure anyone would defend him outside the world of far-right politics. I rather like this artwork though, there’s something about standing up for your principles and being proud of that. I’ve never seen an artwork like this and it’s certainly a creative way of continuing to make a point for his past protests.
