  • They stole the President's flag, went to jail for upgrading the traffic lights or destroyed the John Lennon's Wall. These artists used the streets of Prague as their gallery and some of the stunts they did were truly amazing! Come take a look at different artists and what they did.

      Honzo, nezdá se Vám, že medializací některých kravin na CZcams vypadáme ve světě jako idioti? Vztyčený fialový ukazovák nebo trenýrky na Hradě bych tedy světu rozhodně neukazovala (stačí, že něčeho si všimli turisté sami). Vždyť je to přeci tak primitivní! (Ať už si myslí o našem prezidentovi kdo chce co chce.) Spíš bych se snažila vyzdvihovat to pozitivní, kde je v Praze něco hezkého a zajímavého. Pěkná jsou i videa s návrhy jak něco zlepšit, včetně Vašeho aktivního přístupu. Moc se mi třeba líbilo video, kde jste vysazovali trávník na Jiráskově náměstí. 👍
      Jinak, dočetla jsem se tady, že Vás potkalo to, co mne před týdnem, že Vám také zemřela babička. Tak upřímnou soustrast a hodně sil. To fyzické prázdno už sice nikdo nikdy nenahradí, ale věřím, že tu s námi jsou naši blízcí dál a dávají na nás pozor. Držte se!

      Well in New York they have already evolved this stunt: they don't just put up fences, they build complete sheds, some with ac, for dining on public streets and they're still standing, despite being built during the time indoor dining wasn't allowed...

    I’ve been watching your videos for 4 year, because i was getting ready for my 1 month exchange program 3 years ago. I’ve memorized Prague street by street, and even knew where to go and which times to avoid. And i fell in love with the city and came to visit 2 times later! You guys did and still doing the best job ever. And now I’ve moved from Jordan to Germany to start my life here, and I’m much closer to Prague now and can’t wait for the pandemic to end so i can visit Prague again many more times.

    One more meaning you can attribute to the "wall is over" stunt is, that the Lennon wall used to be a form of protest against the regime, the thinks written on it, had some kind of "meaning", they were some sort of messages.
    Where you could say, today it is only a tourist attraction, it's full of tags but empty of spirit.
    (This is only my interpretation, what the stunt evoked in me. Non of the protagonist, as far as I now, said something in this manner.)

    You have to see the Monument to the Soviet Army in Sofia. It's often used as a ground of artistic expression and social stance. Once it was painted in pink, in honour of the anniversary of the 1968 Prague spring.

    First of all my condolences to honza and secondly, I watcjed a documentary once where a artist in California that wrapped part of the west coast shore line in plastic and another artist who put up a frame work along a ridge on the coast and hung plastic from it creating a wind break. They had before and after shots of the result. There was a wind blowing over the ridge and became gusty at times but after the wind break was put up it was much calmer than before. The artist actually said they were thinking of getting a sleeping bag and camping out on the ridge. Both pieces of art only stayed up for a few days. Other than that not much else I can think of. There is a guy out in south Dakota thats doing a huge monument to the native America known as crazy horse. Theres videos on you tube about it. I was there in the mid 90s and its all funded from private donations and I dont think its done yet.

    How is that most of Czech stuff I've seen seem so politically incorrect and yet, you can still feel the reminiscence of the past so vividly permeating every thought, word and action? Just a personal perception of a foreigner living in this czech lands for quite some time. I enjoy a lot your videos, they're very funny. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing with us ☺️ And, Honza, very sorry for your lost. I know the feeling and is really nice that you have dedicated this video to your grandma.

    We had a chief Game Designer from Ubisoft as a guest lecturer once in uni and he told us the story of how they - in the historic city center on the square in front of the church - basically re-enacted the space invaders game using the people as enemies and players (similar to how they did it in _Scrubs_ )

    Sorry for your loss, Honza. The video is amazing, I just love the idea of using art to protest against the status quo.
