Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum in Bratislava is now opening five new exhibitions, all available until March 19, 2023:

1. “Tibor Borský. Hommage à Marián Varga” (from 31 January 2023): Tibor Borský was born in Bratislava in 1939, studied in Bratislava and in Prague, specializing in artistic photography. He regularly photographed for the most important magazines in Czechoslovakia and exhibited at many collective and solo exhibitions in Slovakia and abroad. In 2019 Borský won the title Osobnosť slovenskej fotografie (Personality of Slovak Photography). The exhibition of his works in Danubiana presents photographs of composer and musician Marián Varga, either alone or with fellow musicians or composers.

2. “Martin Dzurek. Okamih” (from 31 January 2023): Martin Dzurek’s art has developed over several decades. His artistic expression is abundant and wide-ranging; it includes monumental sculpture and painting along with sculptures of a chamber character. In recent years his artistic activities have been broadened by interactive installations and performance in which he combines music, theater, photography, literature and video. A selection of his works entitled Okamih (A Moment) will be on display at the Danubiana. Read more: https://danubiana.sk/en/vystavy/okamih
3. “Žofia Dubová. Mountains of Clouds” (from 31 January 2023): For many years, Žofia Dubová has dedicated herself to exceeding the limits of painting by stepping out of the painting format as well as transitioning to media such as glass and installation. In addition to studying the physical qualities of painting and the limits of the picture she has also recently been involved in studying natural atmospheric processes that have an ephemeral character. Waves, fog, clouds, snow, and hail had an impact on her latest series of paintings, in the same way that these forms of water create high mountain ranges.

4. “Ján Ťapák. Balans” (from 3 February 2023): There are stories that last for a short period of time but have the energy of artistic thought. And there are stories that last for 33 years and contain the power of continuity. Both moments can be found in Ján Ťapák’s exhibition at the Danubiana, which is also a retrospective of his sculptural work. Read more: https://danubiana.sk/en/vystavy/balans-1
5. “Igor Piačka. Tiger Riding” (from 3 February 2023): It’s not a good idea to look directly into the eyes of a tiger, but now there is no other way. Igor Piačka has taken the head of this predator as the leitmotif of his jubilee exhibition at the Danubiana. The mesmerizing green eyes of this feline beast paralyze spectators as they slowly realize that the artistic ride with Igor won’t be an idyllic walk through the sun-bathed Čunovo peninsula where the waves tenderly splash against its stone base. In this painting it is clear that the artist is open to the inspirations and influences of various art tendencies and media, sometimes operating on their borders.
