Let’s Talk Art! Aleš Votava

For foreigners living in Slovakia, for friends and visitors from abroad or to improve your English. Regularly, once a month, one early Thursday evening is dedicated to accompanying current exhibitions or permanent expositions in English.

For the first time, the exhibition presents the top Slovak scenographer Aleš Votava as a master of artistic objects, an artist who easily crosses the boundaries of his profession (“Scenography is actually a constant search beyond its borders”), a creative, inventive person with a great sense of humor. Yet his independent work also reveals his vulnerability, doubts and fears. These are often the most intimate messages of his prematurely closed work. Votava’s objects can also be described as intermediate objects, because they are and are not jewelry, sculptures, machines, parts of costumes or stage designs.

The meeting is led by Vladislav Malast, a lecturer from the Education Department of the Bratislava City Gallery.
