Spolu / každý sám za seba
Výstava bratov Juraja a Ivana Dudášovcov je ich prvým spoločným projektom od roku 2011. Tvorba oboch osciluje na pomedzí politického a sociálneho aktivizmu, zväčša bezprostredne reagujú na spoločenské dianie v globálnom alebo regionálnom kontexte. V aktuálnej prezentácii sa rozhodli reflektovať napätú a neprehľadnú politickú situáciu na Ukrajine. Interpretácia udalostí posledných týždňov či mesiacov tvorí obsah výstavy. Jeden objekt, dve interaktívne videoinstalácie, text, performace. Diela nechávajú vyznieť bez komentára, návštevník sa stáva ich pozorovateľom aj účastníkom, pri inštaláciách do obrazu môže (ale nemusí) zasiahnuť. V symbolike vystavených prác je obsiahnutá autorská interpretácia.
