Each summer, as part of its Kolegovia cycle, the Ľudovít Fulla Gallery presents selected works of a Slovak Modernist who was a contemporary of Ľudovít Fulla. The project features the top works of each artist and possible mutual relations, "influences" and inspirations.

The city of Ružomberok is indeed situated at the crossroad, and its possibilities and limitations arise from this fact. A crossroad also symbolizes the point at which decisions are made; either the city will choose the path of development or the path of the status quo and stagnation.

The exhibition features Simona Čechová's illustrations from the new illustrated book about a small hero who "gets lost" during his vacation in a miraculous house filled with paintings that come to life. How will the small hero in Jánošík's band survive by the sea, in a hot air balloon or among partisans? Will he meet the little mouse that cooked the porridge? This illustrated book inspired by the life and work of Ľudovít Fulla is also a tribute to the artist.

The Ľudovít Fulla Gallery was established to exhibit Fulla's paintings but also to provide a home for him. The spaces designated for the general public were cleverly separated from his private spaces.

This time we did not focus on Ľudovít Fulla and his work in our cycle Viac Fullu / More of Fulla. Instead, this exhibition maps and interprets the qualities and interesting facts about this exceptional structure from the 1960s which was the first specially designed and constructed gallery building in Slovakia.

The exhibition entitled Osmijankova literárna záhrada / Osmijanko's Literary Garden is part of the national reading project Čítame s Osmijankom pridaj sa aj ty! (Let's Read with Osmijanko, You Can Join Us Too!) which has been implemented by the Osmijanko non-profit organization for 15 years.

Karol Pichler graduated from MOME - Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest in 1985. In the years 1986 - 1996 he was a teacher at the Academy of Applied Art in Bratislava, but also in Reims and Rio de Janeiro.

Globe Gallery are delighted to be working in collaboration with Gallery of Ľudovíta Fullu - SNG in Ružomberok, curating Paola Ciarska's first Slovakian show. Following a visit to Gallery of Ľudovíta Fullu in November 2017 Paola has documented individual rooms in the gallery, including the private spaces within the living quarters of L'udovít Fulla. Our supported artist, Paola Ciarska, has created paintings, illustrations and prints featuring an inventory of art works, furniture and personal items from the gallery.

At the end of June 2018, fifteen works from the exposition of Ľudovít Fulla had travelled to the Slovak National Gallery, where they became part of the exhibition Filla / Fulla: Destiny of an Artist. The space freed up was offered to nine artists and designers for their author's intervention.

Every year during summer season (July - September), Ľudovít Fulla Gallery presents a project from the cycle Colleagues - selected works of one of the Slovak modernism classics, who was a contemporary of Ľudovít Fulla. It shows not only masterpieces of the particular artist, but possible mutual relations, "influences", and inspirations as well.
