AMERICAN new media artist and poet Bill Seaman has created the site-specific, two-part project Epiphany inside and outside of a former synagogue in Trnava. Inspired by the history, architecture, and social relations of Trnava during his stay last August, the artist incorporated these things into a video work accompanied by music and the whispered text of a poem in both English and Slovak. The second part of the project, Names of Streets, takes the lines of the poem out of the synagogue and into the streets of Trnava. Displayed in the same way as the city's street signs, the text can be found surrounding the synagogue, as well as around the Ján Koniarek Gallery located at Zelený kríček 3. Each street sign carries one line of the poem in Slovak on the top and English on the bottom. Born in 1956, Seaman is the head of the Digital Media Department at the Rhode Island School of Design. The Trnava Synagogue, which houses the Centre of Contemporary Arts, is located at Halenárska 2. It is open from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:00 and from Saturday to Sunday from 13:00 to 18:00. The exhibition runs until March 31. Admission is Sk10 and Sk20. Tel: 033/5514-657.

"Do ľava," (to the left) I yelled, "Nie, do prava" (no, to the right), I gasped. "Dolšie," I screamed. "Nie, nie, horšie..." My Slovak girlfriend collapsed in laughter. Was it something I said?
