Opening of the exhibition. Jana Bernartová: Liquid Crystals R0G0B25

Jana Bernart in details analyzes “digital blue”, which is the basic color when launching a data projector. R0G0B255 is a standardized color - but it’s not always the same. Differences are due to the type of different media device, but also to the extent of their usage or technical defects. Likewise, our perception of color is influenced by the perception frame (lightness or darkness, etc.). The aspect of variability and interaction will be included in the exhibition, depending on real-time changes in the gallery. Within the Jana Bernartova`s project in curatorial co-operation with Tereza Jindrová will be created an unfinished “sampler” of various incarnations of R0G0B255. The exhibition will run until July 14, 2017

Dance performance:Desire & Discipline;
a Study of Erotics of Dance is a dance performance made by Matthew Rogers (SK/USA) and Chris Leuenberger (CH) that focuses on the wild, ironic, vulnerable, aesthetic, dark nature of male eroticism. Using themselves/each other as the subject and object of desire, they playfully build upon the freedom gay men have to create new models of relating and bonding as humans. Their relating engenders a fantasy world that intertwines historical dance references with personal pursuits of labor and intimacy. Inside Desire & Discipline, homo-erotics are used as a metaphor for self love, connection and sexual autonomy.
Tickets: 4.00 / € 2.00 (adults /students)

We’ll use touch and create sound together. We’ll exercise full body pleasure while dancing.

With some reflection you may redefine your understanding of erotics in dance.

Working exhibition
The working exhibition is our attempt to deal with the space of Nova Synagoga. With its weight, historical and architectural, with its beauty and meaning, with the measure of its landmark (un)touchiness and the completion of its reconstruction, which delights us and at the same time forces us to think about which type of cultural space we are opening. We wanted the artistic and theoretical reflection to not be separated from physical work on reconstruction, but to be a specific part of it. Therefore, residences of invited artists, architects and theoreticians from Slovakia and abroad have taken place in parallel with the last reconstruction works. Together with them and the general public, during working exhibition we will try to think how to approach Behrens and modernist architecture without slipping to uncritical adoration. How to handle the complicated history of the New Synagogue and not to unload some of its layers. Howh the hierarchical and sacral space originally communicates with the vision of an open cultural institution.

Duration of the exhibition: 11. 6. - 22. 7. 2017
Participants of the exhibition: Katarina Burin, Martin Groch, Tomáš Libertíny, Matúš Kobolka, Jakub Kopec, Martin Piaček, PLURAL, Magda Stanova, Miessen Studio, Peter Szalay, The Society for Nontrivial Pursuits, Martin Zaiček

Marsel Onisko was the artistic chief of the defunct Panic Button magazine along with La Aramis filmmaker from Žilina, as well as a member of the Fly United, Zilina-Uzhorod Association. He studied philology; he is self-taught in art. Since the outbreak of the conflict in the east of Ukraine, he is desighning monthly layouts of posters for the Stanica cultural center.
