Moravany nad Váhom – Trnava Region

www.facebook.com/ArtroomsMoravany

An international exhibition of art held at the manor house in Moravany nad Váhom. The upcoming edition is the 6th year of the exhibition called the Slovak Venice. The art of mystification will present artistic projects that purposely choose strategies associated with a certain kind of deception as their modus operandi. They do so critically, however, often responding to current societal phenomena and new technologies. They also reflect and make visible different types of manipulation through art in the thrall of ideology in the past, which was used programmatically for this purpose.
