The title Heavy Industry itself refers, on the one hand, to the political and cultural situation in which the exhibited works of art were created in the second half of the eighties, that is the transition period and the post-socialist visual culture. On the other hand, the title also expresses the difficulties of the reconstruction and the interpretation. In line with this, the “secondary”, cultural history aim of Heavy Industry is exactly to present a significant arts segment of the period of the régime change through concrete works of art.
