Fake News exhibition Bratislava

What is misinformation, playing with emotions, social bubbles, photo manipulation, how can artificial intelligence enter Fake News? You will learn all this at the Fake News exhibition.

Some of it is true, some of it is not. We have an objective reality that should make the distinction between truth and falsehood not too difficult, yet the opposite is true.

We can easily look up information on any subject, indeed with just a few clicks. But it is just as easy to disseminate information, any information, without any check on its veracity.

The more shocking the news, the better, and its veracity doesn’t matter that much.

The mass media does not help much with the problem, as negative news has a larger audience than positive ones. So there is a lot of false information in our environment, and it is easy to find that which supports our world view, whatever it may be – that is a recipe for disaster.

The Czech Center in Bratislava and the French Institute in Slovakia invite you to their galleries for a joint exhibition titled “Fake News,” which will showcase works of art created in response to a call for submissions on the theme of disinformation.

The exhibition will be officially opened at the Czech Center Gallery in the Czech House in the presence of Monika Koblerová, Director of the Czech Center in Bratislava, and Olivier Favry, Director of the French Institute in Slovakia, as well as selected artists.

The exhibition will present works by Slovak artists who submitted their pieces to a call for entries jointly announced by the Czech Center in Bratislava and the French Institute in Slovakia, and will be complemented by posters by students from the original Fake News collection as well as artifacts from the French exhibition Fake News: Art, Fiction, Lie (Fake News: art, fiction, mensonge) by the French institution CLEMI (Coordination Center for Education and Information Media).

You will see works by the following artists:

Jana Kubíčková

In her works *Green Bottle* and *Little Red Bottle*, Coubi draws attention to the glut of counterfeit French perfume brands on the market. She studied painting in Bratislava and Paris. She lives and works in Bratislava.

Petra Štefanková

Artist Petra Štefanková will present her personal artistic diary, which emerges automatically, without words or meanings, as a form of therapy and an escape from a world overwhelmed by information. She studied in Bratislava and Prague. She exhibits and publishes worldwide.

Emma Capáková

Emma Capáková entered the call for submissions with a work titled Morning Dose of Illusion. She studies architecture in Bratislava. In her work, she explores the daily overload of information from the media and transforms it into visual metaphors.

Liana Luptáková

Graphic design student Liana Luptáková creates her own artistic language by combining various techniques, from typography to illustration. She focuses on comics and board game design.

Stano Masár

Stano Masár lives and works in Bratislava. His work is characterized by a playful creativity and, at the same time, serious undertones, both of which stem from his sensitive perception of everyday reality.

The exhibition is based on the eponymous collection of posters by graphic design students from the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, which the Czech Center Bratislava has already presented to visitors in libraries and galleries across several cities in Slovakia.
