• 00:00:17.360
• "New Slovakia: (Difficult) Birth of the Modern Lifestyle".00:00:20.840
• 00:00:20.840
• The term New Slovakia00:00:26.560
• 00:00:26.560
• was used quite frequently at the time,00:00:29.560
• 00:00:29.560
• such as in the name of the magazine00:00:33.800
• 00:00:33.800
• that was published during World War II.00:00:38.360
• 00:00:38.360
• This propaganda magazine00:00:43.040
• 00:00:43.040
• totally discredited the term.00:00:46.560
• 00:00:46.560
• Despite this fact,00:00:50.400
• 00:00:50.400
• we kept the title New Slovakia00:00:53.400
• 00:00:53.400
• because it expresses the importance of newness00:00:56.920
• 00:00:56.920
• at that time.00:01:01.400
• 00:01:01.400
• This is not yet another exhibition00:01:04.080
• 00:01:04.080
• of Slovak modernism.00:01:08.080
• 00:01:08.080
• Our goal is rather to present00:01:12.000
• 00:01:12.000
• the modern lifestyle in Slovakia and its birth,00:01:15.960
• 00:01:15.960
• its development, the prejudice it faced,00:01:20.400
• 00:01:20.400
• the way it is reflected in art.00:01:24.960
• 00:01:24.960
• The exhibition covers all kinds of visual arts,00:01:28.600
• 00:01:28.600
• including applied arts, graphic design00:01:33.520
• 00:01:33.520
• or film.00:01:37.720
• 00:01:37.720
• It also includes everyday objects00:01:40.821
• 00:01:40.821
• connected with the modern lifestyle00:01:44.321
• 00:01:44.321
• that often have a timeless design.00:01:48.337
• 00:01:48.337
• I'd like to point out00:02:08.340
• 00:02:08.340
• that well known authors00:02:11.340
• 00:02:11.340
• are presented here through their less known works,00:02:14.944
• 00:02:14.944
• such as Benka and Bazovský00:02:20.189
• 00:02:20.189
• who focused on Slovak traditional life.00:02:23.689
• 00:02:23.689
• Many of the authors are completely unknown.00:02:28.136
• 00:02:28.136
• We don't mean to change00:02:32.579
• 00:02:32.579
• the history of Slovak art or photography,00:02:35.579
• 00:02:35.579
• rather to complete it.00:02:39.579
• 00:02:39.579
• The largest part of the exhibition00:02:42.616
• 00:02:42.616
• consists of photographs.00:02:46.116
• 00:02:46.116
• We felt that photography00:02:49.467
• 00:02:49.467
• expressed modernism better than visual arts.00:02:52.967
• 00:02:52.967
• We don't put too much emphasis on facts.00:02:58.627
• 00:02:58.627
• But we respected the limits of the period00:03:02.653
• 00:03:02.653
• from 1918, when the Slovak Republic was created,00:03:06.532
• 00:03:06.532
• to 1948 or 1949,00:03:12.502
• 00:03:12.502
• when modernism was replaced by socialist realism.00:03:15.502
• 00:03:15.502
• The themes cover various areas of life.00:03:27.245
• 00:03:27.245
• They have a logical arrangement.00:03:33.528
• 00:03:33.528
• The first theme is about the modern elements00:03:36.925
• 00:03:36.925
• penetrating into the traditional life,00:03:40.800
• 00:03:40.800
• intact landscape of Slovak mountains,00:03:44.944
• 00:03:44.944
• or places that still belonged to the 19th century00:03:48.514
• 00:03:48.514
• by their urbanist and architectural character.00:03:55.286
• 00:03:55.286
• Little by little the traditional visual world00:03:59.664
• 00:03:59.664
• was overlaid by elements of modern life,00:04:03.729
• 00:04:03.729
• such as new means of transport, electrification,00:04:07.509
• 00:04:07.509
• technical and geometric objects,00:04:12.126
• 00:04:12.126
• completely different00:04:15.721
• 00:04:15.721
• from the old clay or wooden constructions.00:04:18.721
• 00:04:18.721
• Another theme concerns people00:04:55.481
• 00:04:55.481
• and the way they used to work.00:04:59.331
• 00:04:59.331
• The exhibits also reflect social contrasts.00:05:05.524
• 00:05:05.524
• On the one hand, there is the joyful life00:05:10.734
• 00:05:10.734
• of the emerging middle class,00:05:15.626
• 00:05:15.626
• with the mass development of tourism, sports,00:05:19.126
• 00:05:19.126
• fashion, and ways to spend leisure time,00:05:23.737
• 00:05:23.737
• which was something new.00:05:29.413
• 00:05:29.413
• On the other hand,00:05:34.712
• 00:05:34.712
• some works depict life on the social periphery,00:05:38.913
• 00:05:38.913
• which we only discover today.00:05:44.678
• 00:05:44.678
• To sum up what I have said,00:05:49.141
• 00:05:49.141
• the birth of the modern lifestyle00:05:53.676
• 00:05:53.676
• was the beginning of what we live in today,00:05:57.176
• 00:05:57.176
• with all the positive and negative aspects.00:06:01.676
• 00:06:01.676
• Of course, we wear modern clothes00:06:05.769
• 00:06:05.769
• and use modern media00:06:09.269
• 00:06:09.269
• but the basic environment is quite similar.00:06:12.269
• 00:06:12.269
• And I think that the visitors understand that.00:06:16.421
• 00:06:16.421
• They feel connected with the works,00:06:21.177
• 00:06:21.177
• although they belong to the past.00:06:24.677
