In 1965, the same year that the Slovak Actionist group [[Alex_Mlynárčik#Works|HAPPSOC]] released their manifesto, Július Koller published his manifesto "Anti-Happening (System of Subjective Objectivity)", which defined the artist's anti-Happening works enacted throughout the late 1960s. Unlike Happenings, where the focus is on action, anti-Happenings concentrate on the cultural reshaping of the subject, making those who participate in the work more aware of their surroundings. During one such anti-Happening, for example, Koller repainted the white lines that defined the structure of a tennis court.

Koller's technique of imbuing simple symbols with complex meanings is explained in his ''Mini-Koncepcie maxi-ideí (U.F.O.)'' [Mini-Concepts of Maxi Ideas] (1974), a series of simple text works that play on the term "UFO". Beginning in 1970, Koller took annual self-portraits, calling himself a UFO-naut while obscuring his body with random, banal objects—for example, he held a ping-pong ball in front of his eyes with glasses. Sports, such as tennis, held appeal for Koller as symbols of playful protest—as critic Jan Verwoert put it, ping-pong "represents the possibility of a more playful society in the face of socialist standardization". Koller titled each of these self-portraits some variation of the acronym ''UFO: Univerzálny Filozoficky Ornament'' [Universal Philosophical Ornament] (1978), ''Underground Fantastic Organization'' (1975), etc. Koller also developed the fictitious gallery project titled ''[http://tranzit.org/exhibitionarchive/u-f-o-gallery-ganek-gallery/ U.F.O. Galéria – Galéria Ganku, Vysoké Tatry]'' [U.F.O. Gallery Ganek, High Tatras], which began with a concept around a site in the Slovak mountains to later include bureaucratic documents and structures such as a Board in 1981 (its members were [[Milan Adamčiak]], [[Pavol Breier]], [[Igor Gazdík]], [[Peter Meluzin]], and Koller himself). In 2009, the Július Koller Society was established in order to preserve Koller's work. [http://hu.tranzit.org/file/Report_on_the_Construction.pdf#page=11 (Source)]

Július Koller (1939, Piešťany - 2007, Bratislava) was a Slovak artist.

In 1965, the same year that the Slovak Actionist group HAPPSOC released their manifesto, Július Koller published his manifesto "Anti-Happening (System of Subjective Objectivity)", which defined the artist's anti-Happening works enacted throughout the late 1960s. Unlike Happenings, where the focus is on action, anti-Happenings concentrate on the cultural reshaping of the subject, making those who participate in the work more aware of their surroundings. During one such anti-Happening, for example, Koller repainted the white lines that defined the structure of a tennis court.

Koller's technique of imbuing simple symbols with complex meanings is explained in his Mini-Koncepcie maxi-ideí (U.F.O.) [Mini-Concepts of Maxi Ideas] (1974), a series of simple text works that play on the term "UFO". Beginning in 1970, Koller took annual self-portraits, calling himself a UFO-naut while obscuring his body with random, banal objects—for example, he held a ping-pong ball in front of his eyes with glasses. Sports, such as tennis, held appeal for Koller as symbols of playful protest—as critic Jan Verwoert put it, ping-pong "represents the possibility of a more playful society in the face of socialist standardization". Koller titled each of these self-portraits some variation of the acronym UFO: Univerzálny Filozoficky Ornament [Universal Philosophical Ornament] (1978), Underground Fantastic Organization (1975), etc. Koller also developed the fictitious gallery project titled U.F.O. Galéria – Galéria Ganku, Vysoké Tatry [U.F.O. Gallery Ganek, High Tatras], which began with a concept around a site in the Slovak mountains to later include bureaucratic documents and structures such as Terén [Board] in 1981 (its members were Milan Adamčiak, Pavol Breier, Igor Gazdík, Peter Meluzin, and Koller himself). In 2009, the Július Koller Society was established in order to preserve Koller's work. (Source)
