DISASTER
Vox Loci cordially invites you to the opening of this exhibition, which will take place on Friday, August 22, 2025, from 14:00 to 22:00 at Ventúrska 4 in Bratislava, in the unused building of the City House of Resistance Participants. The exhibition will run until September 20, 2025, and will be open from Wednesday to Sunday, always from 14:00 to 20:00.
Being an artist today means creating amid a hyper-visual avalanche of images, technologies, and the constant shocks of crises. Can one even breathe in that?
The exhibition DISASTER — Basic Safety Measures in the Ruins brings answers that don’t wait for permission to be heard. And perhaps also a chilling silence in which the questions ask themselves.
