Sculptures produce a unique mood and distinct atmosphere; they enrich  
the ways that culture can be enjoyed both by locals and visitors to  
the city alike. The possibility to explore barrier-free communication  
using works of art in the streets and on city squares not only helps  
build up a relationship to art, but also cultivates the aesthetic  
insight and awareness of the viewer. Every summer quality art and  
distinguished artistic figures from all over the world come together  
in Bratislava.
This annual event enjoys exceptional popularity and interest not just  
from the general public but also professional circles. At a previous  
year of the exhibition the then rector of the Budapest Academy of  
Fine Arts, Professor Adam Farkaš, even noted that Bratislava is  
becoming the European capital of sculpture every summer thanks to  
this event.

Now in its thirteenth year, this year the event will involve an even  
greater number of works (more than 200), participating artists (67)  
and countries (22), and it will take place at more venues than it  
ever did before.
In addition to outdoor sites on the city squares Hviezdoslavovo  
námestie and Františkánske námestie with large dimension works of  
artists from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Spain and Korea, and in  
the courtyard of Primate’s Palace with works of the “stars” of  
this year’s exhibition, outstanding Polish artist Igor Mitoraj and  
the no less renowned Czech artist Olbram Zoubek, the artistic works  
of over 60 artists will also be put on show in the “chamber”  
environment of the various participating galleries. Joining local  
Slovak artists will be others from the Czech Republic, Hungary,  
Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Norway, Finland, Sweden,  
Denmark, the Netherlands, Croatia, Spain, Japan, Korea, Israel,  
Brazil, Russia, Great Britain and Georgia.

The premises on the 1st floor of Dom umenia (House of Art) will be  
the venue for a broadly conceived display of artists from various  
countries entitled Art Without Frontiers. Art has always ignored  
barriers that endeavour incomprehensibly to separate and prevent the  
open and free promotion of artistic values. The works of artists of  
various genres and generations, using different expressive and  
material means, present a mission of co-operation and better mutual  
understanding through the universal communication medium that is fine  
art.
In addition to various Slovak artists like Peter Roller, Ján  
Hoffstädter and Ingrid Višňovská, Daniel Brunovský,  or Ľubo  
Stacho, for instance, other works on display will include those of  
young Finnish artists the likes of Vesa-Pekka Rannikko and Jari  
Mannisto, as well as the large dimension installation Flags from  
Markus Kahre, winner of the 2007 Ars Fennica Prize for young artist;   
there will be works from renowned artists from other countries as  
well, including Lis Andersen (DK), Susanne Kathlen Mader (N), Barbro  
Raen Thomassen (N), Fredrik Raddum (N), Gunnar Carl Nilsson (S), Bert  
van Loo (NL), Roland de Jong Orlando (NL), Gebhard Sengmüller (A),  
Mitsouko Mori (J), Carlos Galvao (BR), Gjalt Blauw (NL), Neven Bilić  
(HR) recommended to be included by the Museum of Contemporary Art in  
Zagreb, or Alexander Pankin (RUS), already renowned also in this part  
of the world.
In Mirbach Palace of Bratislava City Gallery visitors will have the  
chance to see works of four Italian artists at the exhibition  
entitled Italian Lights, in the curator concept of Lia de Venere.  
They are Giuseppe Teofilo, Carlo Bernardini, Filippo Centenari and  
Carlo Steiner whose works creatively utilise and play with lights;
In Gallery Z there will be an installation – exhibition of Hungarian
