on 14 th March, the Týždeň magazine published articles by architects Matúš Vallo 76 and Ján Bahna 77 which commented on the Slovak National Gallery. Ján Bahna wrote about Dedeček: “This architect was almost unknown to the Prague Spring generation. The theorists also showed no great interest in the work of this titan of typification. Everything began after the book Eastmodern was published in 2007 in which two Slovak expatriates discovered Slovak monuments from the socialist era. (...) Architect Dedeček became active in the period of sorela [Socialist Realism]. He was inspired at that time by the architectural icon Oskar Niemeyer. The elements of monumental Brazil impressed the young graduate and he implemented them in his works in the smaller Slovakia. It was still logical in Nitra [Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra]. However, when he entered the city with these solitaires, he crashed with an existing structure. He had big problems with the Slovak National Gallery, his wife [art historian, SNG Drawing Collection curator Ol’ga Dedečková] suffered from them and the public suffered from them too. The building has never been completely finished. [Slovak actor] Milan Lasica writes in his letters to [his friend, Slovak actor] Stano Štepka in the Slovenské pohl’ady magazine: ‘When this Le Corbusier of the third generation, the designer of the National Gallery, was asked questions about his project he replied with the typical arrogance that he is creating works for the 21 st century.’” 78 Architect Matúš Vallo, who is two generations younger to architect Ján Bahna wrote: “It is the opportunities that often make the difference. Of course, no contract or client can help an architect who does not take his/her job seriously and does not have some additional value – talent, experience or an open mind. / In the past this was very much the truth about Vladimír Dedeček. As he told me with modesty in the interview for this magazine [.týždeň], the attention he is being currently given is also the result of the fact 126
that he had the chance to work on buildings that were less limited by normative rules and functions than his other similarly excellent colleagues. It seems to me that architect Dedeček, said to have been an uncompromising ‘tough guy’ in the past, is exaggerating things with his modesty. (...) If it has not been clear so far from this text, I belong to the generation of architects who greatly acknowledge Dedeček and consider him to be a reference to which we can constantly return without the eternal need for aids like ‘the Slovak context’ or ‘it was different era’. I am sure we don't have to keep explaining that this reference is unique. The theorists or architectural historians have been doing this for years. Although they fail to get out of their shells and present Dedeček to the non-professional public in an understandable way, the truth remains the truth. Dedeček is world-class. Even though the frequency of questions such as: ‘And you really like that gallery?’ is not decreasing, at least in my case (e.g. from the chief editor of this magazine [.týždeň]).” 79 The .týždeň did not publish the response of Marián Zervan and Monika Mitášová to the statements of Ján Bahna. on 11 th April, Patrik Garaj published an interview 80 with architect Ján Studený about the exhibition project for the 15 th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. 76 VALLO, Matúš.
