Do we need a contemporary art gallery

The translated text of the song created by the students from Studio VVV for Collective mourning for the loss of Kunsthalle 27.3.2024.

...Do we need a contemporary art gallery? 

     Yes! 

Can I? Can I ask critical questions? 

     I want to!

A source of contemporary visuality? And where - beyond the borders? Kunsthalle Vienna - Kunsthalle Budapest -

Kunsthalle Prague? (What about Košice?) 

     Other. 

     The seismograph is drawing. 

     The result of the project will be judged by a committee.

A place of contact with new aesthetics? 

Does it not suit? 

     We need a contemporary art gallery.

Can I feel free? 

      I should. 

Can I imagine the world differently? 

Not appropriate? Don't like it? 

Colour - size - orientation? Not suitable? 

A multitude of approaches? Dialectic of views?

     Prohibition. 

     We need engaged art. 

     All can enter. 

     All can stay. 

Now? Where can I see our now? 

     We need a contemporary art gallery. 

Can I ask a critical question?

    To every age its art. 

    To each art its freedom. 

Feminism? 

    The horror. 

Where did it come from and who let it in? 

The climate crisis? 

    A fabrication. Hoax. 

What are we? What do these attitudes say about us?

     We need a safe space. 

     We need engaged art. 

     We need a contemporary art gallery. 

A source of contemporary visuality? 

     I want! 

Not appropriate? What are we like? 

What do these attitudes say about us? 

Do we need to connect? 

Can I feel safe? Now? 

     I should. 

     They can all come in. 

Isn't it appropriate? Don't like it? 

Colour - size - orientation? A multitude of approaches?

Dialectic of opinions? 

     To each art its freedom. 

     We need a contemporary art gallery...
