In 2017, Vlado Beskid curated an exhibition at the Emil Filla Gallery in Ústí n/Labem in the Czech Republic. The exhibition entitled "Ko-Shické Metro" had the ambition to introduce contemporary visual art from Košice - the metropolis of Eastern Slovakia to the audience in Ústí nad Labem. Košice is a home to a specific local art scene, supported and enhanced by the Faculty of Arts of the Technical University (since 1998). The students and graduates of this new art school form the basis of a strong upcoming generation in Slovakia after 2000. Many of them have established themselves not only in the Slovak but also in the European context.
The next stop of the metro from Košice in 2018 is the Slovak Liptov region. Here, at the PM Bohun Gallery, a slightly varied group of artists showed their newest works and projects.
I presented a series of new drawings called Prostřeno (unfinished series of 40 A4 drawings) and two larger pieces - Unsuccessful attempts to meditate I and Unsuccessful attempts to meditate II.
Participating artists: Lucia DOVIČÁKOVÁ, Slavomír DURKAJ, Svetlana FIALOVÁ, Katarína HLADEKOVÁ - Ondřej HOMOLA, Maroš KONTROŠ, Jaro KYŠA, Matúš LÁNYI, Martin LUKÁČ, Boris SIRKA, Denisa SPODNIAKOVÁ, Simona ŠTULEROVÁ, Ján VASILKO, Monika VRANCOVÁ, Ján ZELINKA, Vlasta ŽÁKOVÁ
