It shows how modern art in Slovakia reflected “achievements” of modern civilization and how it together created overall visual of the time. There are presented not only traditional art techniques such as painting, drawing, plastic art but the accent is particularly put on a photographic material and artefacts of applied art. It presents photographic sets of Jaromír Funke, Miloš Dohány, Karel Plicka together with top avant garde works of Ľudovít Fulla, Mikuláš Galanda and applied art as well.

New Slovakia (SNG – Esterházyho palác )
Conceptualized by Zbyněk Baladrán, Vít Bohal, Dustin Breitling and Václav Janoščík, the conference brings together theorists, artists and organizers who collaborate and elaborate on their visions in order to discover junctures of overlap for thinking about the emancipatory potentials of the future.
Reflecting Gábor Palotai's expanded understanding of graphic design, in his consistently formulated oeuvre, besides conventional formats and media, other, hardly classifiable or less common genres are present; such as conceptual photography, graphic design novel, printed textiles, non-narrative digital motion pictures or even public plaques.
