CENTRAL SLOVAKIA



THE EPIPHANY project by Bill Seaman is a combination of image, text and sound, revealing the artist's reaction to the particularities of the situation and space. The project was premiered at Trnava Synagogue last February at its Centre for Contemporary Art, and is now showing in the At Home Gallery in Šamorín's former synagogue. The project exists on two levels - as an interiorising video installation, and as a conceptual, poetic text written on enamel signs on various exteriors. The American artist assembled the visual and acoustic material during his residency organised by the Ján Koniarek Gallery in Trnava in August 2003. The exhibition will end on October 24. For more information call the At Home Gallery, Mliečňanská 6, Šamorín. Tel: 031/5627-999.
