Natural Materials

On Thursday we visited the exhibition of Natural Materials. I was surprised when I saw this exhibition. The authors or artists of the exhibition are Richard Loskot and Michal Šimonfy.These two authors created very interesting works.I think that it was about the people, nature and about their relationship.  The works was placed in six rooms. So we can saw six amazing installations.


1- Light Path – Richard Loskot
When I came to the first room I just saw mirrors. I expected some paintings or something like this. But this was nice surprise. Because in the middle of that room was one reflector and the light reflected all mirrors. It was like never ending light

2- Life of Your Words – Michal Šimonfy

The second installation was very surprising. When I saw this work I think that there are tiny bacteria or insects.But I was wrong. This work shows people, how often they are talking about the death and life. Dark green dots symbolise death and green dots symbolise life and birth.

3- Even a Person is a System – Richard Loskot
Third installation was about our stereotypes of the day. We can heard dogs,water,music. It was about basic components of nature: wind,water,sun,moon,light,time,air,stars...... This room was a little scary, maybe only for me.

4- For Two - Michal Šimonfy
This work was the most interesting for me. In room was two chairs and one table. There were two sensors which we put on our thumbs and on the table we can saw our heartbeats. That’s the way how you can find your “soul friend”.

5-Everything Has Its Time – Richard Loskot
This installation show to us imaginative movement of the rose’s shadow. This was the most interesting for me.

6-Fruit map – Michal Šimonfy
The last work was something like Google Earth but with fruit trees. You can add your tree on  www.fruitmap.sk.
I hope that you also visit the  Central Slovak Gallery :)

Exhibition Of The Work Of Mária Čorejová

           A Conversation Leading Elsewhere

 Mária Čorejová cooperated with some artists, so it is not her own work. In her paintings often appear motives balloons,airships and she used boats in her paintings too.I think that boat is symbol of our identity. And water is symbol of our consciousness.The main ideas in the exhibition are  mystery, playfulness, irony,passion and differences between old and new world.  

We then could choose a copy of Maria Čorejová´s works and develop it ourselves.In my group we wanted to create something interesting. We choose two paintings and connected their.We wanted to create six continents and every is displayed somehow else.Black continent is America because Maria condemns west. And it create evil. White denotes Antarctica because there is none. That black and white continent is Europe. We want resemble to America but we are not still that bad on it.Next continent is Asia and on this part of picture is China´wall and water which symbolises our consciousness.On next continent is painted swimmer and walls which we can see on every Maria´s work.This is Australia.Last is Africa. Here we can see little darts which lead to the middle because Africa needs help from all of us. It is about world and how we understood the exhibition. The boat symbolises life and an escape from the world ,but we don't know where .

Forgetful parents

That was maybe two years later when I was on skiing with my family in High Tatras. We travelled by car and in car we had a lots of luggage and other things.Skiing was perfect and all the time we had very sunny weather. Last day we pocked our luggage and gave it to the car. When all things were in our car I only went to locked our room in hotel and took my jacket. When I come down to car park I was very surprised.Our car and my family weren´t be there. I was scared and I wanted to cry because I hadn´t my mobile so I couldn´t called them. I stayed on car park maybe ten minute because I was in big shock.Only what I after remember is that I suddenly saw our car with my family. They said that they absolutelly forgot to me because car was full of luggage. They were laughing on this situation but I was glad that I was with them in car.
