Public Pedestal
Public Pedestal is a Slovak public-art project of four artists (Dalibor Bača, Martin Piaček, Tomáš Džadoň, Michal Moravčík) following up an initiative What statue for the city? (2006), petition Stop “cultural policy” in our cities! (2006) and protests named Antikulich (2010) and Antikulich II (This is not a Svätopluk, this is (just) a bad sculpture! (2010).
These activities were supposed to express a critical opinion of a young generation of artists, theoreticians and art consumers towards overloading of the spaces of the Slovak cities with the production of tourist kitsch pretending an artistic value.
SPACES (Sustainable Public Areas for Culture in Eastern Countries) project assembles artists and cultural workers in four Eastern partner countries, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, who aim at reflecting societal issues in the public realm of their city. It also aims at strengthening the independent art and culture scene.
