Cyril Blažo

• So this is the statue of Koniarek by Bernolák - no, the other was around.00:00:18.932
• 00:00:18.932
• Say it correctly - it is made by well-know artist from Trnava.00:00:24.997
• 00:00:24.997
• So it is statue of Bernolák by Koniarek.00:00:28.740
• 00:00:28.740
• So Cyril hung on the statue and I took picture of it.00:00:36.910
• 00:00:36.910
• He used to be my teacher.00:00:42.035
• 00:00:42.035
• There will be our 10th anniversary, in September.00:00:48.560
• 00:00:48.560
• We have known each other for ten years.00:00:55.661
• 00:00:55.661
• The title is The Statues, you can see my hanging on it,00:00:58.827
• 00:00:58.827
• Martin Kochan took the photographs, but the ideas were mine.00:01:01.827
• 00:01:01.827
• I had an idea as we walked around, so we spontaneously00:01:07.800
• 00:01:07.800
• made it - without planning, Martin had a camera with himself.00:01:12.875
• 00:01:12.875
• The idea came when I saw the finger of Bernolák,00:01:23.028
• 00:01:23.028
• and I had jeans with belt loop, so I had an idea to hang.00:01:26.709
• 00:01:26.709
• So idea comes when you have jeans and finger of Bernolák,00:01:34.848
• 00:01:34.848
• and put things together, then you can put it off for a long time,00:01:39.869
• 00:01:39.869
• finally you make it after three months or up to two years.00:01:45.256
• 00:01:45.256
• When it cross my mind, I don´t have to make it immediately.00:01:52.569
• 00:01:52.569
• The statues are persistent, you can make it later.00:01:56.502
• 00:01:56.502
• I take photographs of countryside, and secluded places.00:02:01.136
• 00:02:01.136
• For the statues - I made two works and now I keep doing it,00:02:07.147
• 00:02:07.147
• as a series, it is not the case of necessity, but rather to complete the series.00:02:20.278
• 00:02:20.278
• For instance, when I have an idea, things are coming to the mosaic,00:02:28.450
• 00:02:28.450
• but not as one theme, but it just fits in the series.00:02:36.862
• 00:02:36.862
• But it there is no particular point, just as going to zoo and00:02:46.079
• 00:02:46.079
• throw the darts at animals, hitting an animal and traveling00:02:53.765
• 00:02:53.765
• around the zoos in whole world, I could repeat that twice,00:03:03.293
• 00:03:03.293
• gain success and it would spread... just as I could do something else00:03:05.401
• 00:03:05.401
• as a series - finally everything is made in series on exhibitions.00:03:10.332
• 00:03:10.332
• How do you take it, that people enjoy your work?00:03:15.925
• 00:03:15.925
• that it is popular, and people like it on Facebook?00:03:18.970
• 00:03:18.970
• It is just an advantage of social networks,00:03:23.777
• 00:03:23.777
• if I had been sending it five years ago by e-mail...00:03:26.147
• 00:03:26.147
• I wouldn´t even have felt like doing that.00:03:29.317
• 00:03:29.317
• Today it is like that, any article is shared.00:03:31.470
• 00:03:31.470
• That´s the modern age., isn´t it?00:03:38.394
• 00:03:38.394
• Let´s go this way by the promenade, and then we´ll see.00:03:46.178
• 00:03:46.178
• I would like to say something about the artwork and art and such terms,00:03:55.939
• 00:03:55.939
• it is rather literature in a sense, like a poet already have words00:04:02.158
• 00:04:02.158
• and needs not to compose it, same there are already ready-made00:04:08.694
• 00:04:08.694
• statues and also there is me, so you just connect things00:04:12.786
• 00:04:12.786
• already existing - so the this artwork is closer to literature,00:04:16.463
• 00:04:16.463
• than to any handcraft, get it?00:04:26.598
• 00:04:26.598
• Only composing and assembling, no need to construct or draw anything.00:04:29.657
• 00:04:29.657
• So this is what is all about.00:04:38.743
• 00:04:38.743
• But I cannot say it generally, it is only a part of our work,00:04:40.929
• 00:04:40.929
• Martin and me we also make classical drawings or statues,00:04:52.169
• 00:04:52.169
• so this report is only about a cut-out of our work.00:05:01.425
• 00:05:01.425
• Let´s see this.00:05:09.791
• 00:05:09.791
• Enough theories, let´s see if I can squeeze in this slit.00:05:18.834
• 00:05:18.834
• To put your leg in it?00:05:24.140
• 00:05:24.140
• No, the whole body...00:05:26.638
• 00:05:26.638
• Maybe you could put one leg there and another here.00:05:28.345
• 00:05:28.345
• Here is my mobile, and you can go there.00:05:31.401
• 00:05:31.401
• So this was the idea impossible to realize.00:05:47.229
• 00:05:47.229
• Why?00:05:50.799
• 00:05:50.799
• I thought you want to sit like on the horse.00:05:53.585
• 00:05:53.585
• I was supposed to be an illustrator,00:06:05.001
• 00:06:05.001
• I make art just like ...00:06:07.344
• 00:06:07.344
• hobby00:06:09.898
• 00:06:09.898
• not hobby, but by accident or something like that.00:06:12.591
• 00:06:12.591
• The revolution came ... if Communist were still here,00:06:18.013
• 00:06:18.013
• I could work as illustrator, you see?00:06:26.022
• 00:06:26.022
• Do you think the politics has changed your life?00:06:28.433
• 00:06:28.433
• Maybe not, we cannot say that, it is only "if" for the history.00:06:31.669
• 00:06:31.669
• But originally I was going to be an illustrator,00:06:35.541
• 00:06:35.541
• So you would be sitting at the table and ...?00:06:38.662
• 00:06:38.662
• No, I work with books indirectly now,00:06:43.065
• 00:06:43.065
• it is just like already set, I´m supposed to be an illustrator,00:06:47.942
• 00:06:47.942
• I´m not, but still I work with books,00:06:50.720
• 00:06:50.720
• but not as an illustrator, you see?00:06:52.595
• 00:06:52.595
• I want to avoid it, but I can´t avoid it anyway.00:06:55.257
• 00:06:55.257
• So I don´t make illustrations, but rather spoil it.00:06:58.188
• 00:06:58.188
• So it is as if you can´t avoid it, even if you think avoiding it.00:07:01.658
• 00:07:01.658
• Damn it! Again closed!00:07:08.618
• 00:07:08.618
• Do you have it?00:07:17.373
• 00:07:17.373
• We do not map this ruins, but when we are in Trnava...00:07:21.830
• 00:07:21.830
• it may not exist when we will come other time.00:07:27.465
• 00:07:27.465
• So that is why we are here, it´s not our main interest.00:07:32.108
• 00:07:32.108
• What?00:07:41.581
• 00:07:41.581
• Is there a sense to make a monument today?00:07:43.395
• 00:07:43.395
• The monument - it is the only thing that will remain.00:07:46.326
• 00:07:46.326
• We were discussing that all the papers will fall apart.00:07:52.892
• 00:07:52.892
• So the plastic bottles and monuments will remain.00:07:55.950
• 00:07:55.950
• Monuments are made of bronze ...00:08:00.641
• 00:08:00.641
• So as a culture... for archeologist it is...00:08:02.388
• 00:08:02.388
• Is it not a worn out format today?00:08:12.937
• 00:08:12.937
• Not at all.00:08:17.648
• 00:08:17.648
• Grún says in his lecture that there is nothing more invisible than monument.00:08:19.723
• 00:08:19.723
• But we lack big events, start a war and there will be monuments.00:08:28.494
• 00:08:28.494
• There is no event to make a monument for...00:08:32.306
• 00:08:32.306
• people only go shopping, can you make a monument for shopping?00:08:37.229
• 00:08:37.229
• So we are going to get under the overpass.00:08:42.783
• 00:08:42.783
• I don´t know whether we are able to get there,00:08:59.436
• 00:08:59.436
• but I´m tempted to see what is there.00:09:02.223
• 00:09:02.223
• Jana, come on!00:09:19.330
• 00:09:19.330
• Good space, nobody here ...00:09:22.671
• 00:09:22.671
• This is one of so called non-spaces, isn´t it?00:09:26.789
• 00:09:26.789
• And the smokestack at the back ...00:09:31.415
• 00:09:31.415
• If we had a table here, we could play chess.00:09:35.103
• 00:09:35.103
• With Duchamp?00:09:38.385
• 00:09:38.385
• It is all overgrown in here.00:09:44.854
• 00:09:44.854
• I would love it covered with snow.00:09:46.857
• 00:09:46.857
• But I could slip there and fall into the hole.00:09:50.093
• 00:09:50.093
• But it was worth seeing, wasn´t it?00:09:54.717
• 00:09:54.717
• It is kind of space I will see once and never again.00:09:58.053
• 00:09:58.053
• Unless I would like to record it, but there is nothing,00:10:04.286
• 00:10:04.286
• 00:10:04.286
• maybe the smokestack...00:10:08.620
• 00:10:08.620
• I have been here, and never will never again00:10:11.405
• 00:10:11.405
• The tours of the town, I do it as pastime,00:10:19.616
• 00:10:19.616
• and to take some pictures, but there is nothing here.00:10:22.461
• 00:10:22.461
• But it is an interesting experience.00:10:38.265
• 00:10:38.265
• Have you been here before, Martin?00:10:46.536
• 00:10:46.536
• So don´t grumble.00:10:50.757
• 00:10:50.757
• This is the wall to get your head bitten off.00:10:53.597
• 00:10:53.597
• You put your head and the dog bites it off.00:10:57.652
• 00:10:57.652
• This is the pure avant-garde...00:11:00.905
• 00:11:00.905
• So you can make it.00:11:06.864
• 00:11:06.864
• Wait!00:11:09.715
• 00:11:09.715
• There is a link to video on Vimeo made by Jano Šebík.00:11:11.612
• 00:11:11.612
• 00:11:11.612
• 00:11:11.612
• It is the end of 90´s, Im in it, so people can see it.00:11:19.375
• 00:11:19.375
• How was it made?00:11:24.775
• 00:11:24.775
• He had an idea, we were walking around Bratislava,00:11:28.165
• 00:11:28.165
• searching for statues, but not real statues, it was mystification.00:11:35.399
• 00:11:35.399
• As a document about statues, which were not really statues,00:11:41.489
• 00:11:41.489
• but some mechanisms or devices.00:11:47.297
• 00:11:47.297
• There is always something new, that you haven´t expected.00:11:50.616
• 00:11:50.616
• I have seen both housing estates and there is nothing more in Trnava,00:11:56.887
• 00:11:56.887
• And suddenly - who would say there is s Statue of Liberty?00:12:01.875
• 00:12:01.875
• Now Martin will show us his discovery.00:12:06.056
• 00:12:06.056
• I usually do stolen things, even photograph is something00:12:08.975
• 00:12:08.975
• you don´t have to create in reality, you take a photo.00:12:38.429
• 00:12:38.429
• Collages and photographs and stage-managed installations -00:12:45.276
• 00:12:45.276
• I don´t create anything, there is no time for it,00:12:50.396
• 00:12:50.396
• or I might have time, but spending time in atelier and working,00:12:57.444
• 00:12:57.444
• I wouldn´t be able to be on such a trip like today.00:13:07.033
• 00:13:07.033
• I would miss it, and there is no unlimited time available.00:13:10.541
• 00:13:10.541
• You knooow...00:13:16.686
• 00:13:16.686
• People should straighten up more, that´s essential.00:13:24.466
• 00:13:24.466
• What are you drinking?00:13:29.221
• 00:13:29.221
• Mineral water00:13:30.960
• 00:13:30.960
• This was a good sketch.00:13:35.860
• 00:13:35.860
• Finally we star in a film.00:13:39.144
• 00:13:39.144
• This is like a TV play setting in snack bar in Trnava.00:13:41.278
