This Autumn Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum in Bratislava invites you to following temporary exhibitions:

1. “Hermann Nitsch (1938-2022). Tribute of colours” from 10. September 2024 to 24. November 2024.

Hermann Nitsch was known for his interdisciplinary practice that encompassed performance, painting, musical composition, and more. Having trained at Vienna’s Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in the 1950s, the artist became a pioneer of the city’s avant-garde scene in the 60s and 70s, staging radical and controversial performances as part of the Viennese Actionism movement.

2. “John Wehrheim. Paradise Lost” from 22. October 2024 to 08. December 2024.

American photographer, filmmaker and engineer John Wehrheim was born in 1947 in Chicago. He graduated from the Catholic University of Notre Dame in 1969. After his studies, he traveled to the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where he created the photographic collection Taylor Camp. The Camp, like the Woodstock music festival, became a symbol of an era full of revolution. However, a utopia based on human ideals and harmonious coexistence with nature ended in flames in 1977. The local government decided to destroy the camp under the pretext of creating a state park.

3. “Peter Uchnár. Laputa” from 03. September 2024 to 09. February 2025

Peter Uchnár (1970) is one of the most successful Slovak illustrators of recent decades. The Laputa exhibition is the completion of the artist’s work dedicated to the three hundredth anniversary of Jonathan Swift’s fantasy novel Gulliver’s Travels. The exhibited works were created for the latest edition of the book (Slovart, 2023) from Uchnár’s illustrations from 1998. More than fifty full-page pictures of the new edition were created from the original acrylic paintings using digital collage and newly painted parts. The format diversity of the original illustrations, which limited the previous editions, was changed by the artist’s interventions.
