Hi guys! Last week I visited Central Slovakian Gallery
in Banska Bystrica. There is exhibition called Natural Materials. I do not like
exhibitions, because they are usually
boring. But this exhibition created by
the artists Michal Šimonfy and Richard Loskot was really interesting. So, I decided
to write to you something about 6 amazing installations which I saw there.
1. Light Path – Richard Loskot
This installation is created from 6 mirrors and 1 reflector.
The author used simple components and knowledge about light reflection. I think,
it shows us the way of seeing things.
2. Life of Your Words – Michal Šimonfy
At first, I thought that animation on the wall describes some
bacteria. I was wrong! It is artistic software which secretly spy
discussions about death and life all around the world. Then it is represented
by little green moving lines. When I heard it, I was really
surprised. I think, it is warning signal that we should be more careful in
chatting with friends.
3. Even a Person is a System – Richard Loskot
This instalation describes every day life. The author showed us basic components of nature which are necessary for our lives - water, air, light, time, sun, sound,...
4. For Two – Michal Šimonfy
This instalation was for two people. When 2 people sit on the chairs and put the sensor on their fingers, the sensor starts to measure their heartbeats. Then machine shows graphs on the table. When hearts of both people hit at the same time, on the table, we can see big circle. This is the way how we can find ”soul mate”.
5. Everything has its Time – Richard Loskot
This installation was created by 1 reflector and 1 rose. It shows us movement of the rose´s shadow. I think, the author wanted to say us somenthing about time.
6. Fruit map – Michal Šimonfy
www.fruitmap.sk is map where people can register fruit trees. This project is really interesting. I recommend it ! :)
