Rezidencia 6×9
Staničná čakáreň železničnej stanice v Banskej Štiavnici má monumentálne rozmery 190m2. Čelná stena čakárne je plochou, ktorá tvorí východisko pre projektovú rezidenciu 6×9. Rezidencia v dramaturgii Banskej St a nice Contemporary nie je zameraná výhradne na médium maľby, aj keď v jej prvých ročníkoch ju absolvovali práve autorky – maliarky (Jana Farmanová, 2010 / Zuzana Flimelová, 2011). Na základe výzvy bol pre rok 2012 vybraný projekt Erika Šilleho, ktorý počas troch týždňov v mesiaci júl namaľoval “poctu” monumentálnym maľbám a realizáciám nie len v staničných objektoch.
- All right, let's start...00:00:04.734
- 00:00:04.734
- The residence format 6x9 takes the advantage of00:00:07.692
- 00:00:07.692
- the spatial arrangement of this train station hall.00:00:14.533
- 00:00:14.533
- We work here as a non-profit organization00:00:20.801
- 00:00:20.801
- and we carry out a project of the residence centre Banska St a nica.00:00:23.588
- 00:00:23.588
- During the period of socialism,00:00:29.260
- 00:00:29.260
- the monumentality as such had probably its importance.00:00:32.918
- 00:00:32.918
- However, nowadays we can easily buy a ticket from a small guichet.00:00:36.439
- 00:00:36.439
- Moreover, there is no longer a hundred of workers from metal mines00:00:43.690
- 00:00:43.690
- in need of a ticket as it was in the past.00:00:51.013
- 00:00:51.013
- But the hall as such has remained.00:00:53.777
- 00:00:53.777
- The truth is that the young and middle generation00:00:56.390
- 00:00:56.390
- don't have such spatial opportunities where they could carry out their big formats.00:00:59.501
- 00:00:59.501
- So this is why the residence format 6x9 has come to its existence.00:01:06.017
- 00:01:06.017
- We started in 2010 and Jana Farmanova was the first participant.00:01:11.827
- 00:01:11.827
- She painted 10 bigger canvases and00:01:21.357
- 00:01:21.357
- she used these 10 paintings to paper the station wall.00:01:24.507
- 00:01:24.507
- The motives of her paintings dealt mostly with the station,00:01:30.277
- 00:01:30.277
- for instance "leaving and saying goodbye."00:01:34.450
- 00:01:34.450
- There was also a sort of narrative feature in the paintings.00:01:37.755
- 00:01:37.755
- One year later we chose Zuzana Flimelova.00:01:42.755
- 00:01:42.755
- She decided to paint directly on the 6x9 format.00:01:45.500
- 00:01:45.500
- She painted on the unrolled canvas with the brooms right in the station hall.00:01:50.586
- 00:01:50.586
- This is how "Big melancholy" was created00:01:58.361
- 00:01:58.361
- and which hung there for about 6 months.00:02:00.782
- 00:02:00.782
- Together with the author, we have tried to find some galleries00:02:03.452
- 00:02:03.452
- or other places where this work could be exhibited.00:02:07.435
- 00:02:07.435
- So far, we haven't found such place00:02:11.139
- 00:02:11.139
- as there isn't a gallery in Slovakia with such a large wall.00:02:13.859
- 00:02:13.859
- So we are waiting for Kunsthalle.00:02:17.749
- 00:02:17.749
- This year (2012) we decided for the first time to put up an open challenge00:02:20.937
- 00:02:20.937
- and we chose Erik Sille who worked physically there on the scaffold for 3 weeks.00:02:27.785
- 00:02:27.785
- We had a 7-hour opening exhibition00:02:39.567
- 00:02:39.567
- where people could come and talk to the artist.00:02:42.030
- 00:02:42.030
- This painting also has narrative elements00:02:48.315
- 00:02:48.315
- that can be interpreted in different ways.00:02:51.527
- 00:02:51.527
- People can look for their local symbols, signs, codes.00:02:57.074
- 00:02:57.074
- That's why I think this work was,00:03:03.211
- 00:03:03.211
- and certainly will be interesting for people,00:03:07.703
- 00:03:07.703
- travellers passing through this train station00:03:11.829
- 00:03:11.829
- for the next six months.00:03:15.892
- 00:03:15.892
- That's the time during which this big fox will be watching us.00:03:18.550
