- Painting after Painting00:00:05.933
- 00:00:05.933
- Slovak National Gallery, Esterhazy Palace00:00:08.933
- 00:00:08.933
- The exhibition Painting after Painting00:00:12.441
- 00:00:12.441
- focuses on contemporary Slovak painting.00:00:16.025
- 00:00:16.025
- It spans over 2 floors00:00:19.643
- 00:00:19.643
- of the Slovak National Gallery building.00:00:22.143
- 00:00:22.143
- The whole project has been organized00:00:25.524
- 00:00:25.524
- by one curator and her assistant curator,00:00:30.019
- 00:00:30.019
- with the help of the SNG Council.00:00:33.544
- 00:00:33.544
- The preparations consisted in reviewing00:00:36.771
- 00:00:36.771
- the artists' works00:00:40.416
- 00:00:40.416
- and animated discussions about the final list00:00:43.622
- 00:00:43.622
- of exhibiting authors00:00:47.622
- 00:00:47.622
- because it would be simply impossible00:00:50.096
- 00:00:50.096
- to include all painters.00:00:53.210
- 00:00:53.210
- When choosing the works,00:00:57.026
- 00:00:57.026
- we paid attention to three aspects.00:01:00.308
- 00:01:00.308
- The first aspect was historical:00:01:03.565
- 00:01:03.565
- we had to define "contemporary painting".00:01:06.732
- 00:01:06.732
- We decided to focus on works00:01:10.375
- 00:01:10.375
- created after 2000.00:01:13.375
- 00:01:13.375
- After this date, there was a boom00:01:15.763
- 00:01:15.763
- of painting competitions00:01:18.763
- 00:01:18.763
- that increased the public interest in painting.00:01:21.263
- 00:01:21.263
- So we can consider the year 200000:01:25.295
- 00:01:25.295
- as a sort of milestone.00:01:28.295
- 00:01:28.295
- We are also aware of the older generation00:01:31.171
- 00:01:31.171
- of painters, of course.00:01:34.662
- 00:01:34.662
- But we decided to focus00:01:37.081
- 00:01:37.081
- on the young artists.00:01:39.581
- 00:01:39.581
- Still there are considerable differences of age00:01:42.050
- 00:01:42.050
- among the authors.00:01:46.005
- 00:01:46.005
- Our main goal was to find works00:01:49.244
- 00:01:49.244
- that deal with what is contemporary, new,00:01:52.244
- 00:01:52.244
- or different.00:01:55.766
- 00:01:55.766
- The second key aspect of the selection00:01:57.596
- 00:01:57.596
- was "painting after painting".00:02:00.939
- 00:02:00.939
- We were interested in painting as a vehicle,00:02:03.848
- 00:02:03.848
- not only as a result.00:02:07.348
- 00:02:07.348
- The important thing was to see00:02:09.668
- 00:02:09.668
- what happens to the painting00:02:12.668
- 00:02:12.668
- during the process of creation.00:02:15.668
- 00:02:15.668
- This is why I chose the work you can see here.00:02:18.500
- 00:02:18.500
- This is what is left00:02:22.500
- 00:02:22.500
- when Erik Binder has finished a painting.00:02:25.000
- 00:02:25.000
- It's a descriptive painting after painting.00:02:28.346
- 00:02:28.346
- So that was the second aspect00:02:31.783
- 00:02:31.783
- of the selection process.00:02:34.783
- 00:02:34.783
- Of course, our other goal was to exhibit00:02:37.803
- 00:02:37.803
- a representative selection of painters,00:02:41.303
- 00:02:41.303
- of possible approaches to painting.00:02:44.754
- 00:02:44.754
- It is said that the best art historian00:02:48.352
- 00:02:48.352
- must have no sensibility and no taste00:02:51.852
- 00:02:51.852
- as it's the only way to remain impartial.00:02:55.244
- 00:02:55.244
- But we are all only humans.00:02:58.654
- 00:02:58.654
- Of course, I have a personal inclination00:03:01.524
- 00:03:01.524
- for some of the authors00:03:05.024
- 00:03:05.024
- but I also like discovering new painters00:03:07.525
- 00:03:07.525
- among artists who are not known as painters,00:03:11.025
- 00:03:11.025
- although that is exactly what they are.00:03:14.704
- 00:03:14.704
- Among the examples is this installation00:03:18.388
- 00:03:18.388
- by Erik Binder,00:03:21.888
- 00:03:21.888
- the installation by Denisa Lehocká,00:03:23.888
- 00:03:23.888
- or the non-traditional way00:03:27.077
- 00:03:27.077
- of exhibiting the works by Dorota Sadovská.00:03:30.077
- 00:03:30.077
- I was also thrilled to discover the new cycle00:03:33.495
- 00:03:33.495
- by Robert Bielik in his studio.00:03:37.495
- 00:03:37.495
- That's when I realized00:03:40.992
- 00:03:40.992
- that he is a serious painter,00:03:43.492
- 00:03:43.492
- an artist of multiple skills,00:03:46.788
- 00:03:46.788
- and it would be a shame to put him00:03:50.411
- 00:03:50.411
- into a single category.00:03:53.411
- 00:03:53.411
- I also like the large format painting00:03:55.797
- 00:03:55.797
- by Pavol Megyesi who is virtually unknown00:03:59.297
- 00:03:59.297
- in Bratislava, unlike in Eastern Slovakia.00:04:02.829
- 00:04:02.829
- I could say that above all, I appreciate00:04:06.250
- 00:04:06.250
- the works that were created00:04:09.750
- 00:04:09.750
- specially for the purpose of this exhibition.00:04:12.750
- 00:04:12.750
- They were a great motivation for me.00:04:16.830
- 00:04:16.830
- We paid extra attention to the descriptions.00:04:20.108
- 00:04:20.108
- They say where the artists come from00:04:24.061
- 00:04:24.061
- or where they did their studies,00:04:27.354
- 00:04:27.354
- but also mention the owners of the works.00:04:30.650
- 00:04:30.650
- And the fact that many of the works00:04:34.407
- 00:04:34.407
- are owned by private art collectors00:04:37.907
- 00:04:37.907
- makes it obvious in a very natural way00:04:41.421
- 00:04:41.421
- that contemporary paintings00:04:44.921
- 00:04:44.921
- are frequently sold and bought.00:04:47.921
- 00:04:47.921
- In our time painting is a commodity.00:04:55.254
- 00:04:55.254
- That's one of the reasons for the boom00:04:59.152
- 00:04:59.152
- of this type of art. Why not admit it?00:05:02.652
- 00:05:02.652
- We tried to reflect this in the descriptions,00:05:06.183
- 00:05:06.183
- not to hide it.00:05:10.545
- 00:05:10.545
- That's the current state of the art scene.00:05:13.288
