Diversity Required at the Slovak National Gallery

 

Diversity Required

April 15 – June 1, 2014
Esterházy Palace, 2nd floor

 I'm showing one drawing in a group show called Diversity Required at the Slovak National Gallery on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. The exhibition is based on the confrontation of the historical view of the first academy of arts in Slovakia with a critical curatorial perspective of its contemporary form as a creative laboratory. 

From the official statement: The relationships between pedagogues and students, their mutual links, influences, confrontations and multilayered contexts, which are vitally manifested in the work of both sides, represent the focus of this exhibition. Through the curatorial selection from the history of individual academy departments we will demonstrate examples of the forming and developing of these relationships from the master and apprentice relationship up to partnership dialogue while using legendary examples of pedagogues and students.

Časopis X / Magazine X

Časopis X / Magazine X is a magazine about contemporary drawing, the only one in Slovakia.
Two of my works are featured in the latest issue (in the form of a screenprint of a green alien and a red ofset of mushroom pickers) which is focused on themes like narrative and representation.

Magazine "X" opens a scientific discussion, It is a source of important information for theoretical and artistic community. Each issue focuses on a specific topic. The aim of the magazine is to focus the attention primarily on the Slovak art scene, while creating a constructive analogy with foreign authors to provide a picture of the current drawing in Slovakia in the context of the surrounding countries.
The symbol and the name of the magazine are two crossed lines, representing one of the most basic drawings at all. This pictogram has many connotations and forms of exploitation, represents a specific point in space, the correct answer, expresses goal, error or disagreement. That´s why we chose it for the brand of our new magazine.
