Between 1957 and 1963 Ovcacek studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (Slovakia) under professor Peter Matejka. He also studied at Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague under professor Antoni­n Kybal (1962). Already at that time he was strongly involved in graphic art and started to use it in order to express his own artistic potential. Together with MiloÅ¡ Urbasek, friend and fellow artist, Ovcacek founded, in 1960, an independent group of artists called "Konfrontace". This artistic group explored and dealt with informel, one of the then attractive form of abstract art. From the beginning of 1960's, Ovcacek kept close contacts with Polish artists, those contacts continued even after the occupation of the Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw pact forces in 1968.

Type/script: notebooks: an examination / Ray K ; Beckett S ; Nemerov H ; McHugh H ; Swenson M ; Merrill J ; Trocchi A ; Creeley R ; Duncan R ; Jess., 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-29809-31188
Scope and Contents This exhibition was curated by Kevin Ray, Head of Special Collections of the Olin Library. In his introductory essay, Ray writes, "The writer's notebook is the precursor, the ancestor of writing, even moreso of reading. Before the note, before the thing to be noted, it was there, and it remains, the locus becoming, by its presence and its persistence, capable of not simply holding or transmitting what is within it, but of producing and recreating it. The notebook as a visual space of chiefly, though not exclusively, texts, allows for several things to be happening within the same space and, more uncertainly, the same readerly time, yet they are of very different, even wildly divergent times...The notebook becomes then a place of juxtapositions, and with this ability to juxtapose, to hold together without necessary or obvious link, the notebook, as a form or genre, comes into its own, and comes into the intellectual life of published, of printed work." -- Source of annotation:...
