| Lucia Nimcova - UNOFFICIAL
The visual language of the photographs plays with the archival attitude. Nimcova works to abandon her own sensibilities by mimicking the formal qualities of found photos. Stumbling upon an archive of pre-revolution photographs, she was moved to rediscover the people presented in the photos, to see them move again, dance again, simply be again. She finds her subjects, oddly enough in the... |

| Rudolf Sikora. On one"s own account against oneself
Rudolf Sikora is one of the most substantial Slovak artists of the second half of 20th century. He is a representative of a singular, cosmic – or cosmological – version of conceptualism, which is one of the most original accomplishments of Slovak art of the period.

| Vito Bojnansky
Paintings and sculptures by Viťo Bojňanský put together a graceful thread of the author’s thinking, desires and associations in a small mosaic. Every his piece steams from a zero point of creation with a need of formation and definition – from an intuitive and improvised start up to a fully wilful and rational calculation of alternatives which hides the start. A final visual... |

| Lucebert - poet, painter and photographer
Lucebert (1924-1994) perceived artistic creation as a “children's playground” – a space for unrestrained, never-ending playing filled with joy and pure fantasy. At the same time, however, he was aware of human impotence and vulnerability, of man's constant struggle against everyday reality. He achieved considerable success in painting and poetry.
Poetry enabled him to begin... |

| The Pope smoked Dope.
Author of the project: Zdenek Primus
The exhibition project The Pope Smoked Dope introduces beat and rock music and its influence on graphic design of the years 1962 -1972. For the young generation of that era it was the music which was co-creating the sensing of life and influencing even their opinion. That is why it was important to pursue mainly with the endeavour in... |

| Videology
It is obvious that the artist of today is no longer an introverted, isolated, mysterious producer of objects (paintings or sculptures); nor, for that matter, that boisterous libertine who once graced social gatherings as a de rigueur accessory. |

| Crazycurators Biennale
This exhibition in GALLERYSPACE, Bratislava, focuses on the young, innovative and experimental forms of art. It will try to serve as an alternative to megalomaniac biennales such as the Venice Biennale or the Prague Biennale, which very often lack an individual approach of an artist and a curator. |
