Russian and Slovak visual artists.

The Slovak National Gallery presents within its long-term programme The History of Slovak Visual Art - after Baroque, the 20th century and Gothic - a representative exhibition and popular scientific publication with the title Renaissance.

The interest of the young painter Maja Matrková (1983) focuses on humans. She handles the motif with care and from different angles.

The group "Soft-headed" (Mäkkohlaví) was founded 20 years ago in Pilsen and united visual artists and theoreticians from Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia. The group´s activities in the time before the Velvet Revolution included common events and meetings. The first exhibition of the group took place not until 2009 as the "Soft-headed" stepped out from the anonymity.

The photographer Miro Gasidlo (1960) devotes himself to free photography and graphic design. He takes pictures especially of life in big cities and their architecture, following the contrast of different meanings intersected in the shots. He chooses picture intermingling as technique.

Representative selection of paintings, sculptures and drawings from Slovak and foreign artists.

Marcel Sedlák (1966) surprises in each of his new collections or cycles with a shift in his own painting expression. His current paintings are softer, more multifaceted and multilayered. They inspire to search for the epicentre of energy, the point of origin, the inspiration, thanks to which they were created.

A common exhibition of the Slovak painter Rastislav Podoba and the Slovenian visual artist Jernej Forbici. For both artists space plays an important role.

The first exhibition from the cycle about techniques of visual art is dedicated to collage.

Concert cycle at the Apponyi Palace

The exhibition is a beautiful example of the Slovak visual art from the end of the 19th to the first half of the 20th century.

The young photographer Lea Lovišková (1986) is engaged in document, reportage, landscape, portrait, advertising and fashion. She makes arranged photography. The exhibition in the GUBA Gallery shows her works on the subject of dance, to which she has devoted herself for eight years.

In cooperation with the Italian Cultural Institute.

The artist offers to the audience a number of explanations of the subject of his interest – ornament. No matter what form he chooses (abstract or a combination of ornament with human motif), he awakes feeling of something pleasant, something we have in the subconsciousness and is part of our childhood memories.

Exhibition about the origin and the forms of the phenomenon GAME. We will learn more about the history of toys, parlour and sports games as well as art games.

26 Swedish and 28 Slovak artists will prove with their works craftsmanship, the power of folk tradition as well as related aesthetic feeling. The exhibition is a confrontation of the two culturally different, but yet close countries.

The 15th annual competition and the following exhibition of press photography will take place under the auspices of the President of the Czech Republic and the mayor of the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague.
