Come and discover an exhibition that records the visual journeys of three contemporary artists.
At the FORMAAT Gallery in Trenčín, contemporary Czech-Slovak art meets in a dialogue about identity, self-portrait, and the passage of time. The exhibition Autoreport presents three mid-generation artists who, over the past decade, have reshaped their visual language and explored themes of self-image as well as social reflection.
Step into spaces that invite you on a shared journey through object, photography, installation, and moving image.
About the event
Autoreport is a group exhibition of Viktor Frešo, Pavlína Fichta Čierna, and Mark Ther. Each of them seeks different answers to the question of what a self-portrait is today – when identity is rewritten between analog and digital, between intimate and public.
The curatorial selection of Vladimír Beskid gathers works created in recent years. Together they map the shift of the artists – their personal as well as artistic “autoreport.”
The exhibition will be open from July 25 to September 14, 2025.
Opening: Friday, July 25, 2025, at 7:00 PM
Opening hours: every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Venue: FOR MAAT Gallery Trenčín
