EVENTS COUNTRYWIDE

The Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava enjoys introducing prominent foreign artists to Slovak spectators.

The extravagant couple Gilbert and George present a photo installation that oscillates between pop art and social criticism. The Archive of the Dead Swiss by Christian Boltanski examines the pathos of death. Other artists include sculptors Jean-Luc Vilmouth and Patrick Tosani and painters Pascal Pinaud and Bernard Frize.
