The monographic exhibition of Marko Blažo (1972 – 2021) attempts to put this exceptional artist’s extensive, even holistically complex work into a minimalist functionalist container. The oeuvre of Košice artist Marko Blažo, which has unexpectedly been left deserted, belongs to the most original and consistent of his generation.

The exhibition does not follow a chronological order but instead it is formed by the self-movement of the artist’s recurring motifs, aware of their associativeness and layering, within which everything is related to everything and “anything can be stretched on anything”. It is two exhibitions in one: in the “Cabinet of Drawings”, we present mainly daily “working” drawings and artist’s concepts in a horizontal, quasi-labyrinthine plan. In the Bridge, we feature more monumental realisations and surviving installations, including a black box with an immersive penetration into Marko Blažo’s head/work computer.

The exhibition is available from February 16 to May 19, 2024 at the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava.
