The aim of twelve creative personal is the public manifestation of their generation that once has taken its roots in Lučenec. They introduce the multi-genre and unique exhibition as their fruits of development. Opening: april 12, 2013 6pmBanality And Grace Are these two opposites or are the banal and the graceful intertwined? 118 artists from 25 countries have tried to find an answer to this question and have submitted a total of 208 artworks for the exhibition Banality and Grace. For whole centuries, the two concepts were separated by an impassable border, the graceful having been associated with wealth and luxury and the banal with poverty and everyday life. However, modern times have altered this perception and discover grace in the vulgar and the ordinary. It is always a great challenge and responsibility to determine a topic and to steer the attention of artists in its direction. For some artists, the topic becomes long-term inspiration.
The jury headed by Professor Marga Persson has chosen 63 professional artists and 17 students and 110 artworks for the competition. Admitted professional artists come from 22 countries but selected students only come from Slovakia and the USA. Although the globalisation has reached visual arts as well, a number of common features can be observed in artworks originating in certain areas. Many artists really embraced the topic and have thus found new inspiration. In this respect, a number of interesting works of art from Finland and Norway must be highlighted that feature cultivated colours and perfect craftsmanship. A pleasant surprise were artworks of students lead by our colleague Jozef Bajus at the Bufallo University in the USA. Applying various natural materials they achieved many new shapes and forms. Charged with powerful emotions is a collection of felt ”Babies” from the Lithuanian artist Egle G. Bogdaniene. A very humorous and direct approach was taken by the TXT member Silvia Čierniková and her Spaghetti: Equal Stomach. Daniel Szálai has created a noble ”Crown” from metal nuts held together by bamboo sticks. Ya-chu Kang from Taiwan made use of last exhibition´s wrappings to create a sophisticated collection of ladies´ handbags. Refined and exciting are little objects by Nikola Čiripová as well as those created by Zuzana Martinusová, a student working under the lead of Iveta Miháliková at the ŠUV in Bratislava. Her fellow student Anna Gregušová has succeeded in charming the jury with her collection ”Foam Rubber As An Attire”. Hannele Ollakka and Nina Nissonen from Finland as well as Blanka Šperková have created gracefully banal shoes. Ulla Pohjola from Finland and Velga Lukaza from Latvia expressed themselves with perfect traditional handmade embroidery. Brigitte Amarger from France and Ludwika Zytkiewicz from Poland who were both awarded at last year´s 13th exhibition, will present a selection of their works in separate individual exhibitions. In the course of opening the exhibition Banality And Grace, the winners in professional and student categories will be announced. Participating countries: England, Argentina, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Chile, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Latvia, Mexico, Germany, Norway, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, USA
