Alexander hrdina
Výstava Michala Moravčíka Alexander hrdina kriticky referuje ku konceptu hrdinu a k jeho statusu v súčasnej spoločnosti. Názov asociuje historickú postavu Alexandra Veľkého, veľkosť s ňou spájanú, a ako súvislosť sa objavuje i v jednotlivých dielach na výstave – viď. jedna z nájdených pamätných dosiek pre hrdinu s menom Alexander ako fragment pamätníka z Tbilisi; v inej podobe zas v rámci skúmanej intervencie do pôvodnej fasády budovy bratislavskej Incheby, ktorá vznikla pre potreby výhľadu z kancelárie jej majiteľa podnikateľa Alexandra Rozina.

- 00:00:12.162
- This exhibition is the result of the merger.00:00:17.332
- 00:00:17.332

- 00:01:39.373
- the way the current president only uses public space design00:01:45.244
- 00:01:45.244
