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 />
