TALK/SHOW does what it says: over the period of 4 weeks a group of
altogether 16 internationally reknown artists and cultural practioners
are invited to deliver a TALK at Bratislava Academy of Fine Arts and
Design. In the course of this programme a SHOW will build up step by
step at tranzit workshops, with each invited guest contributing a work
to the show. On a non-pragmatic level, however, TALK/SHOW also
signifies the media format epitomizing what critics have called the
denigration of the public sphere. Before the background of recent
developments in the urban and political landscape of Bratislava, the
project TALK/SHOW thus revolves around issues of the constitution of
the public sphere and questions of public access to urban as well as
discursive spaces in the face of their increasing normalisation,
commercialisation and privatisation. TALK/SHOW will try to enter a
dialogue with a local public by presenting comparable developments
within the so-called ‘Western’ world through the work of 16
international artists, architects, musicians, graphic designers,
filmmakers and curators whose practices share a common interest in
exploring the possibilities of articulating parallel structures to
mainstream economies of space and discourse: sub-economies, sub-
communities, sub-publishing, sub-architectures and sub-designs. While
the invited groups and individuals are analysing and infiltrating the
political, economical and urban realities of the early 21st Century,
they at the same time employ these conditions to divert resources
towards forms of production that critically re-negotiate questions of
power, ownership and authorship within the public sphere. In this
TALK/SHOW brings together a unique and internationally outstanding
group of creative producers that are not only able to present
developments and strategies parallel to those experienced in Slovakia
but as a whole might create an atmosphere of inter-cultural exchange
within which both sides will be able to discover common grounds.
