SCULPTURE and OBJECT XVII.
28.06. - 26.08.2012
.
During its sixteen-year existence, the international exhibition Sculpture and Object has raised public awareness of this annual event, giving the viewers an opportunity to view the sculptures created by artists from different countries. The works are exhibited at several galleries and public spaces in Bratislava.
Barrier-free encounters with artworks sited outdoors add variety to the cultural events in these cities, enhancing relations between art and viewers and refining their aesthetic perception.
For many people a close contact with the artworks displayed in the streets and parks is a source of new experience that arouses strong feelings and emotions. Sculptures communicating with the urban environment and architecture create superb compositions and a unique atmosphere. During the summer months the works of many domestic and foreign artists become an important urban element, offering greater choice of cultural events for the wide public.
Every year Bratislava is the meeting places for high quality art and for important artists from many countries. The viewers have a unique opportunity to appreciate other cultures through the universal medium of visual art.
Apart from outdoor exhibitions on the Hviezdoslav Square, in the courtyard of Lizst Garden and Castle Devín in Bratislava displaying large works by the sculptors from Slovakia and the Czech Republic. This year’s Sculpture and Object XVII is also presenting the works of 90 artists from 19 countries in a more intimate environment of several galleries in Bratislava.
