PARTER Gallery in Bratislava
by Erika Trnková
At the turn of May and June, two very busy streets in Bratislava Old Town, Laurinská and Panská transformed into a temporary gallery of contemporary Slovak design. The Slovak Design Centres decided, as part of third year of Days of Architecture and Design 2012, to organise a brand new exhibition format for Slovakia which has been already successfully introduced in Prague or Paris. The purpose of the “street design gallery” is to avoid galleries and display works of designers in the shop-windows of ordinary street shops at the busiest urban streets. Owners of shops in Bratislava were happy to display products they do not usually sell in their shops. Twenty two shop owners opened their shops for twenty two designers from around Slovakia to present their works to the visitors and residents of Bratislava.
