Master of Fine Arts Rudolf Prekop

"Not only did I become a part of a sort of social organism at the Film and TV School, Anna Fárová accepted me to her circle. Entering this community meant being able to enter the independent art scene in Prague. It was her who showed me the early issues of Revolver Revue and opened the windows into the world of unofficial culture. Later on, when we were preparing an exhibition Hra na čtvrtého (Playing the Fourth One), we asked her to sign the text with her whole name. Not only her initials, A. F., as she would do in the usual cases because she was banned from publishing. We agreed among ourselves that should any problem arise, we'll share the blame. I think that she greatly appreciated it then. I never again experienced so fruitful a collaboration with any art historian. I can say with clear conscience that Mrs. Fárová is my mother in photography."

„Výstava nesla název …Od trinástej komnaty a hned u vstupu visel velký klíč nasvícený bodovým reflektorem. Mělo jít o jasný symbol jakéhosi uzavřeného prostoru, do kterého je nemožné vstoupit. Zabavená díla skončila na nějaký čas v depozitu StB, ale na komickou dohru příběhu jsme si museli počkat celé prázdniny. Na školním dvoře zaparkovala modrá Avie, ze které vystoupili dva zřízenci a začali vytahovat jeden obraz za druhým jako důkazy po ukončeném vyšetřování. Byla to vlastně taková neplánovaná druhá vernisáž, kterou viděla většina lidí ze školy. V celém tom zmatku pobíhal ředitel, který se sundaným pláštěm snažil vykrývat jednotlivá plátna a sochy, aby je nikdo neviděl a nenakazil se tak závadovým uměním.“

„Just the day after, the non-conformist art lover who visited our exhibition opening proved to be a secret police agent with the code name Ekonom. He immediately snitched on us and the exhibition was closed after twenty-four hours. The next day, we wanted to organise a guided tour for a few kindred souls. We arrived to the hill above the town where the building of E club stood and we only found the doors sealed with tapes stamped by the secret police. They evaluated me, Daniel Pastirčák and Josefo Kužidlo to be the brains behind the event and they interrogated us separately. I was eighteen years old at that time and I was not fully aware what sort of people the secret police were. They mostly asked with whom we were in contact. It was in 1977 when the Charter 77 signature drive started and I felt that they were quite scared of taht. They repeated the same questions all over: 'With whom are you in contact? Who is your leader? Is it someone from Prague or from Brno?' We said the truth when we repeated that we were in contact with no-one, that we were our own leaders. The secret police could not grasp that a bunch of young guys would be able to plan and execute such a well thought-out show."
