Internationally known Hungarian/Slovak artist Ilona Nemeth brings:
27m; an Interactive Sound Installation: A corner of Slovakia brought to Providence by
The Sidewalk of Empire Street/AS 220

Saturday, November 8, 2008, noon-4pm
(artist talk & presentation by curator Viera Levitt from noon-1pm)
Internationally celebrated artist Ilona Nemeth, recently written up in the *New York Times *for her provocative survey/installation in Budapest is bringing her art to Providence by way of New York City, where she is a Fulbright scholar. Ms. Nemeth, whose sculptures and installations have been shown in Slovakia, Hungary, The Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, South Korea and New York, will bring her audio piece, 27 meters (30 yards) to the sidewalk outside AS 220 on Empire Street. Originally shown in Brno, Czech Republic in 2004, this piece contains six monologues of different people. For example, both a Czech hairdresser living in the town for 16 years and a randomly chosen Finnish manager who had spent one day in the city, are parts of the project. Visitors can take one of the available headphones and have a 'walk' with some chosen companion from the small Central-European town Dunajska Streda. The length of one of the three audio tracks corresponds to a real route in Ilona's hometown in the Slovak Republic, Dunajska Streda. The sound sequences were recorded at one of the busiest intersection in the town.
