20 th May – 21 st June, an exhibition of works of the<br />

NL Architects studio represented an international reaction<br />

to the book Eastmodern and to the Bratislava discussion<br />

regarding the demolition, reconstruction or revitalisation<br />

of the front wing of the SNG. These Dutch architects chose<br />

to exhibit in the closed exhibition rooms of the SNG “bridging”.<br />

They preferred the exhibition spaces that were in a state<br />

of disrepair and “out of order” to the “reconstructed” historical<br />

Esterházy palace of the Slovak National Gallery.<br />

NL Architects publicly appealed by means of this<br />

exhibition and also in a press conference to save the Water<br />

Barracks “bridging” and supported the voices against its<br />

demolition. The invitation of this studio to Bratislava as a part<br />

of a Dutch culture festival “Made in Holland, Holland in<br />

Slovakia” was initiated by the photographer Illah van Oijen.<br />

Curatorial collabration Monika Mitášová.<br />

the genesis of Dedeček's project for the SNG was<br />

discussed in a text in the gallery yearbook published by<br />

the curator Monika Mitášová who also placed the architect's<br />

work in the context of 1980s architecture in Slovakia<br />

in the exhibition for that decade 61 .<br />

10 th July, the Slovak National Gallery, the Department<br />

of Architecture of AFAD, the architectural studio of Benjamín<br />
