OSKÁR ČEPAN’S AWARD 2012: Tomáš Džadoň

Tomáš Džadoň (1981) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. He is interested in the differences and contradictions between the modern lifestyle and cultural traditions of the Slovak environment. Preferring local to global, he works with the elements of local culture and transforms them into objects, site-specific installations and public interventions. His works are recognized for their typical teetering between kitsch and crucial subject matters of memory and nostalgia.

OSKÁR ČEPAN’S AWARD 2012: Tomáš Džadoň
The waves of the so called “color revolutions” in former soviet republics like Georgia (“rose revolution”) and the Ukraine (“orange revolution”) are types of uprisings for just and democratic presidential elections. The spirit of color revolution, characterized by the unsatisfactory state of the institution of elections and by struggles to establish it, is present in almost all the post-Soviet countries, but here we reserve the term color revolution for those countries where special early presidential elections took place.
