Public Dialog

• The project is named00:00:28.186
• 00:00:28.186
• "Transart Communication - Public Dialog".00:00:30.695
• 00:00:30.695
• It runs from October00:00:34.268
• 00:00:34.268
• 00:00:34.268
• It includes an exhibition of works00:00:38.455
• 00:00:38.455
• by ten Hungarian and ten Slovak artists.00:00:41.455
• 00:00:41.455
• The main themes are multiculturalism00:00:47.920
• 00:00:47.920
• and interethnicity in real life.00:00:51.404
• 00:00:51.404
• We also added the theme of Komárno00:00:55.062
• 00:00:55.062
• and that's why we invited the artists here.00:00:58.587
• 00:00:58.587
• They could observe the city00:01:02.348
• 00:01:02.348
• and then react to some situations.00:01:04.839
• 00:01:04.839
• We also reserved a few alternative venues00:01:08.907
• 00:01:08.907
• for the project,00:01:13.300
• 00:01:13.300
• such as the cinema00:01:15.538
• 00:01:15.538
• and one gallery00:01:18.045
• 00:01:18.045
• in an old factory building.00:01:20.598
• 00:01:20.598
• I see in this project00:01:24.132
• 00:01:24.132
• a challenge of self-reflection00:01:27.074
• 00:01:27.074
• to the inhabitants of the city00:01:30.714
• 00:01:30.714
• and the Hungarian minority.00:01:34.839
• 00:01:34.839
• Komárno is a symbol00:01:38.827
• 00:01:38.827
• of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia,00:01:41.238
• 00:01:41.238
• which is the reason why00:01:44.601
• 00:01:44.601
• there are so many political performances.00:01:47.101
• 00:01:47.101
• Everyone tries to find their own place00:01:50.929
• 00:01:50.929
• and to define it00:01:54.680
• 00:01:54.680
• historically and politically.00:01:57.126
• 00:01:57.126
• We invited the artists so that they could00:02:19.213
• 00:02:19.213
• express their opinion on the situation00:02:22.617
• 00:02:22.617
• and make the public see the reality00:02:26.117
• 00:02:26.117
• they live in00:02:29.784
• 00:02:29.784
• from a different angle.00:02:32.638
• 00:02:32.638
• There were also a few panel discussions.00:02:36.044
• 00:02:36.044
• Some issues simply needed to be discussed.00:02:39.797
• 00:02:39.797
• I think Komárno is a very special case00:02:45.248
• 00:02:45.248
• and we don't know exactly00:02:48.704
• 00:02:48.704
• how this project should continue.00:02:51.727
• 00:02:51.727
• It was specially conceived00:02:55.682
• 00:02:55.682
• for this city,00:02:58.682
• 00:02:58.682
• for its past and its present.00:03:01.663
• 00:03:01.663
• The project is a result00:03:04.986
• 00:03:04.986
• of the political events00:03:07.486
• 00:03:07.486
• of the last few years, at least for me.00:03:09.986
• 00:03:09.986
• It seemed to us that we needed to react00:03:14.052
• 00:03:14.052
• in our own way. It was a necessity.00:03:17.500
• 00:03:17.500
• If I were to choose my favorite work,00:04:07.245
• 00:04:07.245
• I'd probably choose00:04:10.977
• 00:04:10.977
• the work by Michal Moravčík.00:04:13.477
• 00:04:13.477
• In an ancient building he found pedestals00:04:16.275
• 00:04:16.275
• that faced the wall since 1945.00:04:19.801
• 00:04:19.801
• Moravčík made the pedestals00:04:23.795
• 00:04:23.795
• into rotating objects that anyone00:04:26.595
• 00:04:26.595
• who comes here can turn around.00:04:29.577
• 00:04:29.577
• And that's the point.00:04:32.621
• 00:04:32.621
• It's a reaction to a particular place00:04:35.390
• 00:04:35.390
• and the history of the place.00:04:40.431
• 00:04:40.431
• Another work00:04:44.100
• 00:04:44.100
• we are really happy to have here00:04:46.100
• 00:04:46.100
• is the Museum series00:04:49.111
• 00:04:49.111
• by the Kassa Boys group.00:04:51.956
• 00:04:51.956
• The works comment on several statements00:04:54.695
• 00:04:54.695
• spoken by Ján Slota.00:04:57.857
• 00:04:57.857
• It's important for local people to see this00:05:00.192
• 00:05:00.192
• because it's the first display00:05:03.917
• 00:05:03.917
• of this series00:05:06.823
• 00:05:06.823
• in the Hungarian part of Slovakia.00:05:08.823
• 00:05:08.823
• I'd like to add00:05:18.995
• 00:05:18.995
• that at the "Empathy Boutique"00:05:21.239
• 00:05:21.239
• created in the former cinema00:05:24.239
• 00:05:24.239
• you can see works by a gypsy artist00:05:30.126
• 00:05:30.126
• from Hungary00:05:33.626
• 00:05:33.626
• who made some naive paintings00:05:35.829
• 00:05:35.829
• depicting the visit of Sólyom,00:05:38.829
• 00:05:38.829
• the president of Hungary.00:05:41.897
• 00:05:41.897
• There is also an object found by János Sugár00:05:44.587
• 00:05:44.587
• during our first trip to Komárno.00:05:48.408
• 00:05:48.408
• He put it on T-shirts with texts00:05:51.561
• 00:05:51.561
• that you can read only in a mirror.00:05:54.837
• 00:05:54.837
• I was aware of the small size of Komárno00:06:07.212
• 00:06:07.212
• and of the fact that a similar event00:06:11.456
• 00:06:11.456
• has never taken place here.00:06:14.561
• 00:06:14.561
• And I'm satisfied with the result.00:06:17.561
• 00:06:17.561
• This was public art00:06:20.978
• 00:06:20.978
• and the public paid attention to it.00:06:23.478
• 00:06:23.478
• Any reaction is interesting for us,00:06:26.837
• 00:06:26.837
• whether it's positive, or negative.00:06:30.337
• 00:06:30.337
• We also organized two panel discussions00:06:34.742
• 00:06:34.742
• that were very important00:06:39.123
• 00:06:39.123
• because people may start to look00:06:42.098
• 00:06:42.098
• at the artworks in a different way00:06:45.598
• 00:06:45.598
• if they hear the opinion of an expert00:06:49.676
• 00:06:49.676
• during the discussion.00:06:53.401
• 00:06:53.401
• The panel discussions were just as important00:06:55.968
• 00:06:55.968
• as the artworks themselves.00:07:00.244
