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
