The Art That Remains

The catalogue of the exhibition, which presents a long-forgotten set of works from the collection of the Slovak National Gallery, acquired by the institution from the legendary International Biennial of Young Artists DANUVIUS 68, held under dramatic circumstances after the August occupation of Czechoslovakia, under the curatorial conception of Ľubor Kára.

The Biennial as a historically important show from 1968 is presented through contemporary documents and especially works by Slovak, Czech and foreign artists such as J. Jankovič, M. Šutej, S. Filko, A. Frohner, A. Kučerová, G. Pisani, M. Raysse, M. Ikeda, H. Akiyama, N. Pliskova, J. Hilmar, V. Popovič, P. Binder, E. Ovčáček, J. Bartusz and others. The exhibition about the exhibition does not have the character of a reconstruction, it is a rediscovery of the long forgotten and draws attention to the ambition (past and present) to collect and exhibit not only Slovak or Czechoslovak art, but also art outside our borders and to orient towards international cooperation in the sense of an open, critical model of the gallery of the global age.
