Neo-Avant-Garde Illustration in Liptovský Mikuláš
In mid-April 2021, galleries in Slovakia reopened to the public after the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic. One of the first exhibitions to open to the public was the project "Uncovered", which presented book illustrations by now internationally acclaimed Slovak artists of the so called neo-avant-garde in the Peter Michal Bohúň Gallery in Liptovský Mikuláš.
Its curator, Ján Kralovič, talks about the unknown aspects of the works of significant artists in the history of visual art in Slovakia. Richard Gregor, the director of the LGPMB, reveals that there is no point in presenting exhibitions online while the need to re-establish the live contact between the public and art is highly important. The report is in English because it is aimed at foreigners, for whom the RSI is one of the few sources of information about the latest developments in the country, not only in the sphere of politics. They have appreciated this service mainly during these pandemic years.
