Jaromír Švejdík alias Jaromír 99 has divided his life between music (Priessnitz, Umakart and Kafka bands) and visual art. Expressive comics handwriting is quite close to the aesthetics of the noir film or pop art. His graphical novellete is based on the famous unfinished novel by Franz Kafka – The Castle. This absurd, grotesque work, full of black humour will be presented in Slovakia. Baroque courtyard ULB, Ventúrska 11 Exhibition: In Between in a Different Place. Recapitulation of the Czech comics history in ten chapters, through historical and social connotations and that which has, in between, happened in a different place. Focusing thematically at central genres, decisive historical moments and inter-cultural inspirations, it narrates the story of the „first century“ of modern comics.

The exhibition illustrates the origin of a theatrical costume, from its design up to its resulting shape on the stage. From the initial euphoria, idea, director’s interpretation, a number of sketches and drawings, selection and combination of materials, pattern books and different stylisations up to the final costume in which the actor acts on the stage. The exhibition presents flat costume designs and selected theatrical costumes from the collections of the Museum of the Theatre Institute from more or less known stagings in Slovak professional theatres, across the regions and developmental periods of theatrical costume.
