More about the exhibitions

“.. a žiadna iná!” auditorium of the Slovak Art Scene

The exhibition reflects on the current situation of the Slovak cultural and art scene, which has been facing increasing political pressure and interventions in its institutional autonomy in recent years.

It is the result of Czech-Slovak cooperation and dialogue, rooted in a sense of proximity, shared experience and historical continuity. The exhibition brings together a series of curatorial and artistic contributions that approach the current state of Slovak art from different perspectives and positions.

It features works and experiences of several generations of artists, ranging from established figures to emerging and student artists. The individual contributions are presented across several exhibition spaces in both House of Arts buildings and Gallery G99. Some also extend into public space or are created as part of the institution's residency programme.

David Možný – Night Shift

The exhibition NIGHT SHIFT consists of a complex spatial installation that organically permeates the entire main exhibition hall of the House of Arts, challenging and disrupting its architectural arrangement.

Within this transformed environment, where orientation is sometimes difficult, other independent works and smaller installation units are arranged, exploring related thematic and conceptual layers.

By questioning and disrupting fundamental certainties – such as our perception of space, its division and physical distances – Možný addresses a range of current social issues and phenomena.
