The Christmas markets at Peace Square in Trenčín will start on 5 December 2019 with the arrival of St. Nicholas and will end on 22 December 2019. TRAKT will conclude on 21 and 22 December from 5 pm to 8 pm with an innovated visual project that will be presented for the third time . The embroidered tower will be seen by the public after dark with a large-screen projection directly on the facade of the City Tower.
Project Film workshop was realized in Trenčín and its surroundings.
Throughout the week was filming a movie called Night News. Daniela Slávikova’s work was also attended by students of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Trenčín from the field of photographic design.
Thus, secondary school students had the opportunity to cooperate on a joint project with the Studio of Audiovisual Art of Tomas Bata University in Zlín. Students had the opportunity to directly experience film production and its creative process. During the workshop they also created their own outputs in the form of photographs and videos. During the main shooting day in Munich they could also try the action in extras. Professional film technology from Tomas Bata University was used during the project.
This project allowed professional shooting to be linked to a practical workshop. Projects of a similar type in which the university cooperates with a secondary school are very rare. However, they provide a wealth of experience for high school and university students learning new collaborations. Students of the Academy of Arts in Trenčín still have a theoretical part of film preparation and discussion with filmmakers. The project was organized by the civic association TRAKT, which has long been active in the field of art and education throughout Slovakia.
The film was shot for 4 days at 3 different locations. 2 places were located in Trenčín and 1 in the Munich time center, a cultural house.
Did you hear from the elders about the amazing atmosphere of keying in 89’s? Or have you been yanking yourself? In the work of Pavel Soukal and Lukáš Matejka, you can take out the keys again and experience some of these extraordinary events. But you can’t do it alone, you’ll have to connect with other people. Exactly as in November 89. Your joint rumble will begin an interactive visual demolition of the wall projected in your city. The reward for visual demolition efforts will be to reveal unique photographs from the Velvet Revolution. Who knows, maybe you meet your parents there, or yourself thirty years ago.
The civic association TRAKT together with the Férová O2 Foundation and the Trnava Self-Governing Region prepared an audiovisual installation that will travel together with the exhibition to mark the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. Overall, the exhibition will be in seven cities within Trnava region.

The work was created with the support of the Férová O2 Foundation and the Trnava Self-Governing Region.
How do the authors perceive November 89?
As creative artists and contemporary artists, we perceive the events of November 89 as a fusion of an active society that wanted to make a difference for all of us. This change was only possible because we, as a company, were able to connect, we were a collective hero who could not be broken on our way to freedom. Today, our society is polarized by various themes – groups – communities that often divide us out of mind. We want to show our interactive work how active and connecting people are today.

Symbolism in the work:
In 2019 the Festival of Light and Shadow is expanding from the public space of Banská Bystrica to “Little Rome” to Trnava. In Trnava’s environment, the project will not offer viewers a superficial superficial lighting “show”, but will present contemporary visual and lighting art in the public space of the historical center.
Young art projects will sensitively open the theme of the union in their wide cultural and social spectrum by their ideological legacy. Projects will focus on networking, collaboration (multi-generation, multi-genre, cross-species), networking, networking, connectivity and finding new ways. The festival’s priority is to provide space for young, un-established artists from Slovakia and the European environment. The festival wants to be the engine at the start of their professional artistic career. We want to inspire, educate and entertain the general public. We promise to the public, viewers and visitors truly unusual experiences. When? 20 September 2019 after dark.

The aim of the project called “IMAGINARY / HOAXATION” is to create an overlap of contemporary art disciplines and their interaction. It is an embodiment of the work into an urban interactive platform. Using visual impulses in conjunction with the cultural and historical center of Trenčín, our project will bring a new, attractive and innovative view of the city itself. With the help of artistic research, we want to uncover and decipher the HOAX (false message, which aims to favor a party). The project consists of overlaps in the following forms: 3D, ANIMATION, COMIX, DIGITAL ART, ART INTERACTION and ENHANCED REALITY.
The exact dates of the project will be revealed in October – November 2019.
The project is implemented thanks to the support from the City of Trenčín.
Interactive experiential educational event at the Regional Cultural Center in Prievidza, focused on the life and activities of Milan Rastislav Štefánik. The aim is to bring one of the most important personalities of our history closer to pupils and students. How? In an unconventional – experiential way, through their own activities. The area of augmented reality was covered by Lukáš Matejka (TRAKT) and Peter Marcinov.
Augmented reality on a smartphone or tablet will reveal to children and visitors to the exhibition about MR Štefánik areas and topics such as astronomy, aviation, politics – rhetoric, communication, military science – World War I, its course, Stefanik’s participation in it, travel – getting to know countries etc.
The combination of the word “tasting” and the letter “V” in the title of the exhibition is intended to indicate that it is a wine tasting on which the entire work of Lukáš Matejka and Štefan Oliš is based. The work itself consists of happening – classic wine tasting. The work responds directly to the functioning of openings and similar events – to elitism in art. Why do people go to the opening? The vernissage is the grand opening of the exhibition, which is usually associated with an art program and refreshments. In these circumstances, people hear the opening speech. Then they are happy to engage in discussions with friends and refreshments already mentioned… The exhibition itself and art often fall into the background. So why wouldn’t wine tasting alone be art?

“Tasting V” consists of a short event, a classic wine tasting in the gallery space. It is a public evaluation of wine made available to the general public. Appropriation or appropriation of the event – wine tasting as an artistic activity. The staged event reconstructs real, live tasting in real time and space and in direct interaction with visitors to the Trenčín M. A. Bazovský Gallery.
