The exhibition presents a long-overlooked set of works from the Slovak National Gallery collection as acquired from the legendary International Biennial of Young Artists DANUVIUS 68 curated by Ľubor Kára that took place under dramatic circumstances following the August occupation of Czechoslovakia.

The Biennial as a historically important exhibition from 1968 is presented through contemporary documents and particularly through works by Slovak, Czech, and foreign authors such as J. Jankovič, M. Šutej, S. Filko, A. Frohner, A. Kučerová, G. Pisani, M. Raysse, M. Ikeda, H. Akiyama, N. Pliskova, J. Hilmar, V. Popovič, P. Binder, E. Ovčáček, and J. Bartusz, as well as others. An exhibition about an exhibition, it does not have the character of a reconstruction, it is a rediscovery of the long forgotten, drawing attention to the ambition (past and present) to collect and exhibit not only Slovak or Czechoslovak art but art from outside our borders, and to focus on international cooperation in the sense of an open, critical model of a gallery of the global age.
