Action art

Art historian Pavlína Morganová has described Havlík's key role in the early days of Czechoslovakian action art:

According to Czech curator and art historian Tomáš Pospiszyl,

In 2015, on being awarded the annual Umělec má cenu prize in Olomouc, where he lives, Havlík reflected that he is always interested in "experiencing actions again" in the same places where he had initially practiced action art under the Czech communist regime during the 1980s. Moreover, nowadays he enjoys doing so in collaboration with younger artists such as Barborou Klímovou.
