Exhibition opening hours: Sunday 9:00–17:00
Guided tour: Sunday 10:00
The Contemporary Castle project presents contemporary art by three artists from different parts of the world—Turkey, Japan, and Portugal—situated within the historic setting of Trenčín Castle.
➡ Ekmel Ertan (TR): Well of Love
A curated selection of works by artists from Turkey, divided into two parts:
Gothic Chapel:
Palimpsest and The Whispers of the Well – Ahmet Rüstem Ekici & Hakan Sorar
Beneath – Kerem Ozan Bayraktar
Basement of the Cannon Bastion:
Echoes of Love – Ekmel Ertan
Unspoken – Busra Tunc
➡ Yasuaki Onishi (JP)
The Japanese artist works with space and illusion, using transparent materials and gravity. His installations often balance between immateriality and physical presence, creating site-specific interventions that generate a unique visual experience within a historic environment.
➡ Carla Rebelo (PT)
The Portuguese visual artist focuses on themes of layered memory and traces of history. In her installations, she combines textiles, photography, and materials shaped by the lived experience of space.
The exhibition project creates a dialogue between contemporary artistic thinking and the cultural memory of Trenčín Castle. We recommend attending the guided tour on Sunday at 10:00 for a deeper understanding of the works and their context.
