Peter Getting: Studne mútne / uvedenie knihy

Come to the Artforum bookstore for a discussion with the author Peter Getting about his new book Muddy Wells.

The stimulating and first publication of its kind in Slovakia deals with the situation in Slovak literary circles during the period of the Slovak State.

Publicist Peter Getting offers an open critical view of the iconic figures of our culture. Their names constantly appear in textbooks and lexicons, but for decades the circumstances of the creation of their works, as well as the role of the artists themselves in the installation, existence and support of the regime at the time, have been ignored.

The book can raise new questions, stir up passions, but also play a purifying function and expand knowledge about hitherto hidden or overlooked facts about Slovak literary figures. He thus has a chance to contribute to the necessary self-reflection and de-taboo chapters of history.

The event is moderated by Dado Nagy, we look forward to seeing you!
