“Halušky are a bit like ravioli”

The young Marcel Ihnačák is at present the hottest chef in Slovakia. He saw “his first seafood” in a Prague restaurant. Later he went to London to do an apprenticeship with British star cook Jamie Oliver. At the restaurant Liviano in Bratislava he spoils his guests not with local fare, but with Tuscan cuisine, something that still seems somewhat exotic for the Slovaks.

In memoriam Július Koller (1939 - 2007)

In the night of 18th August 2007, the Slovak artist Jślius Koller departed from this life completely unexpectedly at the age of 68. The cause of death was a heart attack. A constantly active sportsman during his life, he leaves behind one of the most consistently distinctive oeuvres of conceptual art in the region of the former Czechoslovakia.

Open Borders, Open Competitions

A considerable amount of political attention is repeatedly being focussed on the major area "Europa Region Mitte" (Europe Central Region). One of the next areas is Vienna/Bratislava. In our neighbouring city developments are moving ahead rapidly – with the involvement of western and Austrian investors. We asked the editor-in-chief of ARCH, Henrieta H. Moravčíková, about the level of transparency and the quality of what is going on there. There too we encounter the eternal problem with competitions, the public realm and the difficulty of ensuring quality.
