About: Ztohoven

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Ztohoven is a Czech guerrilla artist collective known for its artistically motivated pranks. The group consists of a core of around 20 regularly active artists, rising to around 100 when additional participants are called upon for a particular task. Ztohoven aims for a limited number of high quality works, as opposed to concentrating on a high volume of minor works. Thus, the group tends to disappear from public notice for long periods only to resurface, sometimes years later. The group aims to use familiar tools and methods to challenge public perceptions of society.

dbo:abstract
  • Ztohoven je česká diverzně-umělecká skupina, zabývající se undergroundem, performancí, reklamou, mediálním objektem. Některé akce skupiny vykazují znaky typické pro kopnikiády. Ve skupině je údajně dvacet až sto umělců, s čímž patrně souvisí i slovní hříčka v názvu 100 hoven, někdy kritiky užívaná též posměšně. (cs)
  • Ztohoven is a Czech guerrilla artist collective known for its artistically motivated pranks. The group consists of a core of around 20 regularly active artists, rising to around 100 when additional participants are called upon for a particular task. Ztohoven aims for a limited number of high quality works, as opposed to concentrating on a high volume of minor works. Thus, the group tends to disappear from public notice for long periods only to resurface, sometimes years later. The group aims to use familiar tools and methods to challenge public perceptions of society. Members of the group are anonymous, and use pseudonyms when appearing or commenting in public. Many of the names used by the group's members are puns, some of which (e.g. Roman Tyc, Dan Gerous or Ana Ward) are chosen to work in English as well as Czech. Among the most active members are Roman Týc and Tomáš Jasný (alias Philip Dvorský). The Ztohoven name is itself a Czech-language pun, and can be read either as Z toho ven ("The way out"), or Sto Hoven ("One hundred shits"). The group translates the name into English as "Out of shit". (en)
