Hermann Nitsch was known for his interdisciplinary practice that encompassed performance, painting, musical composition, and more. Having trained at Vienna’s Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in the 1950s, the artist became a pioneer of the city’s avant-garde scene in the 60s and 70s, staging radical and controversial performances as part of the Viennese Actionism movement. Curators: Sammlung Werner Trenker and Nitsch Foundation.

The Slovak National Gallery is dedicating a double exhibition to “its” architect Vladimír Dedeček (1929 – 2020), creator of great concepts and almost a hundred realisations, an important co-author of the architectural form of modern Slovakia.

The Month of Photography is historically the oldest and largest photography in Slovakia.

Jarmila Sabová Džuppová and Jarmila Mitríková will present for the first time their joint exhibition at the DOT.Contemporary Gallery in the Jurkovič’s heating plant. Generationally related, the artists work in different media (Džuppová in painting, Mitríková currently mainly in ceramics). Each has her own recognizable and mutually unmistakable handwriting. However, they are united by a focus on personal experience, which they process through various more or less universal symbols.

The solo exhibition of Ivan Dudáš presents his latest works, as well as a selection of older works. The exhibition is part of the 15th OFF Bratislava Festival with the subtitle/theme Persona Incognita, which encourages us to immerse ourselves and reflect on the complexity of hidden characters, veiled identities and (our) masks.
