Revealed Faces
In an exciting new exhibition Carter Burden Gallery collaborates with Nástupište 1–12 to present an international exhibition featuring five Solvak artists alongside three Carter Burden Gallery artists, entitled Revealed Faces. This unique opportunity to present the work of Slovak women artists who, while celebrated and valued in their homeland, remain largely unknown in New York. The artists present work from the fields of textile art, design, and painting, highlighting distinctive aspects of the Slovak and broader Central European artistic scene, while the Carter Burden Gallery artists present a range of ceramic sculpture. In a reflection of Carter Burden’s mission, Nástupište 1–12 presents older artists in this show who began their professional careers in the 1970s and 1980s, significantly shaping the character of contemporary art in Slovakia. These artists’ creative journeys have matured yet continue to yield innovative and valuable results.
The Multimedia Space for Contemporary Culture Nástupište 1–12, is located in the small Slovak town of Topoľčany, Slovakia. They provide a venue for temporary exhibitions, site-specific works with interdisciplinary overlap, as well as music and theater performances, educational programs, and artist residencies. Revealed Faces is supported using public funding by the Slovak Arts Council, a financial contribution from the LITA Fund Slovakia and the Slovak Consulate in New York. The exhibition is curated by Zuzana Novotová Godálová and Peter Kršák . Accompanying the exhibition is a workshop Hat-Making on Saturday, February 8 from 2:00pm – 4:30pm. Led by three of Slovakia’s most renowned designers, Júlia Sabová, Silvia Fedorová, and Júlia Kunovská. Using pre-made hat templates, participants will craft their own stunning, wearable piece of art. This workshop is a rare chance to learn directly from Slovakia’s finest creative minds in embroidery, textile, and design.
Slovak artists include Eva Cisáriková-Mináriková, Sylvia Fedrová, Julia Kunovská, Julia Sabová, and Veronika Rónaiová, with Carter Burden Gallery artists Olivia Beens, Jennifer Simon, and Christopher Skura.
