- The exhibition "Good Hunt!" takes place during the deer mating season00:00:16.207
- 00:00:16.207
- which pretty much indicates what the exhibition is about.00:00:20.485
- 00:00:20.485
- The exhibition shows that even in contemporary visual art00:00:26.431
- 00:00:26.431
- mating deers, hunting trophies, hunting scenes00:00:30.668
- 00:00:30.668
- and similar motifs are still popular.00:00:35.650
- 00:00:35.650
- Contemporary artists, however, approach these themes00:00:40.082
- 00:00:40.082
- with irony and distance.00:00:43.649
- 00:00:43.649
- The exhibition shows a selection of works mostly by authors00:01:04.007
- 00:01:04.007
- of the youngest generation but there are also works00:01:07.474
- 00:01:07.474
- by middle and older generations from Slovakia, the Czech Republic,00:01:12.050
- 00:01:12.050
- Austria, Hungary and Slovenia. The selection is diverse.00:01:15.064
- 00:01:15.064
- I did not want to exhaust the theme and I admit00:01:21.016
- 00:01:21.016
- it is a subjective selection, I basically hunted for trophies00:01:29.504
- 00:01:29.504
- and now they are presented here.00:01:35.751
- 00:01:35.751
- 00:01:35.751
- A very important aspect of the exhibition,00:01:37.410
- 00:01:37.410
- which may not be apparent at first sight,00:01:40.242
- 00:01:40.242
- is the relationship among the spectator, work, and the work's creator.00:01:43.570
- 00:01:43.570
- I tried to make the selection in such a way so that the audience -00:01:47.603
- 00:01:47.603
- when they come - they can look at it from different angles.00:01:53.583
- 00:01:53.583
- It's like with contemporary art which can be also viewed from different00:01:58.014
- 00:01:58.014
- points of view. Everyone looks at it differently.00:02:02.568
- 00:02:02.568
- In case it is a theoretician, curator, she perceives art in a certain way.00:02:04.908
- 00:02:04.908
- In case it is a regular visitor, she looks at it differently.00:02:09.213
- 00:02:09.213
- This show should invite visitors to take different perspectives -00:02:13.457
- 00:02:13.457
- at least I hope it will happen. Everyone should find00:02:18.855
- 00:02:18.855
- 00:02:18.855
- something he finds interesting.00:02:23.224
- 00:02:23.224
- Who is hunting? Does the artwork hunt for the spectator -00:02:25.818
- 00:02:25.818
- his gaze, his interest? Or is it the artist00:02:30.429
- 00:02:30.429
- who is trying to hunt for the viewer's favor, his interest?00:02:35.761
- 00:02:35.761
- Or is the spectator who with his special way of looking at the work00:02:42.010
- 00:02:42.010
- participates in the work's creation? The question also is00:02:48.272
- 00:02:48.272
- whether the curator isn't a hunter of trophies as well00:02:52.833
- 00:02:52.833
- hunting for artworks to put them eventually as trophies on display00:02:59.244
- 00:02:59.244
- in a gallery space. I leave it open..00:03:05.478
- 00:03:05.478
- An important part of the exhibition is also a catalogue00:03:27.363
- 00:03:27.363
- we managed to publish in time for the opening.00:03:30.107
- 00:03:30.107
- It is not mere documentation of the exhibited works.00:03:33.362
- 00:03:33.362
- The catalogue's graphic designer Marek Kianička chose works00:03:38.568
- 00:03:38.568
- - out of the works selected by me for the exhibition -00:03:43.449
- 00:03:43.449
- that he liked the most.00:03:46.318
- 00:03:46.318
- He created a new context, he did it in his own way,00:03:50.465
- 00:03:50.465
- so it is like a different exhibition00:03:54.857
- 00:03:54.857
- composed of the selection.00:03:58.330
