MAROSBARAN – The Black Church 2012
1/2
1/2
On 24.8.2012 The Human Body Exhibition came to Bratislava, Slovakia.
After one month since lauching the exhibition catholic church of Slovakia woke up and released riddiculous requests to bann it. Asking people with “good will” not to attend the show.
After another one month, I decided to release first of two videos, accidently shot in Eindhoven in Netherlands two weeks ago, expressing my opinion about “good will” of catholic church.
These kind of “stuff” are all around the globe… all the people in the universe know about them and do not care about so much as well, although by some mysterious reason, church does not realise couple of things, which are insanely obvious to some of us and uses its power to take controll of weak and old people… for how long?
Who is exhibiting who?

Since its foundation in 1980, the International Biennial Festival of drawings and graphics - INTERBIFEP Tuzla has represented one of the most important and significant international art event in ex-Yugoslavia. The reason is not only because in the former community there were not many international exhibitions of that rank (except Ljubljana Graphics and Rijeka Graphics Biennial being two of the oldest events of that kind in the world) but also because of the conscientious approach in the organization as well as in the carrying out of this exhibition. Graphics and drawings as means of expression and techniques, as well as portraiture chosen as the first and unique topic, have promised results from the beginning which proved later to be successful.
One should appreciate the fact that this exhibition not only stopped in Tuzla, returning the works to their authors after closing. Indeed a number of works remained there as lasting heritage, thanks to the awards scheme (purchase awards) and the artists who made donations.
Today the International Portrait Gallery can be proud of counting in its collection such worldwide- known names of graphic and drawing artists as Safet Zec, Petar Omčikus, Jiri Anderle, Matos Cardoso Jose, Adam Urbanik, Istvan Geller, Yuji Hiratsuka, Dan Mihaltianu, Ivan Kožarić, Dubravka Babić, Vladimir Makuc, Mersad Berber... to mention just some of them, without purpose to disparage the others.
The traditional Biennial Festival of portrait – drawings and graphics INTERBIFEP will go on thriving so that this valuable collection will continue developing in the future.

"Resilience" as a "Violent Desire" 2013 - "You kill the thing you love." (Francis Bacon quoting Oscar Wilde, Francis Bacon's Arena).
Resilience as an animal force, sexual energy, violent desire are themes,which Maros Baran has always found fascinating and full of inspiration. So he decided to work with them on this collection. Swan as a virginal animal. Sacred, once "raped" by an eagle turned itself into a black daemon, disguised Zeus making love to Leda. Cursed love leading to transcendental source,human beings born from eggs.

Man With The Hanging Tongue 2013
It had been raining for
three hours and I was not sure of my way.
I did not know what the sign
on the window meant, but
I knew that three hairdressers, three mirrors and three customers that I saw
was something that all together meant “Hairdresser's“.
Finally! The only thing what
I wanted to hear that day was a sound of shaving machine. ´ Everything will be gone, just like
my sins,´
I though and turned doorknob.
My body winced back when
I noticed man gazing back at me from the other side of the glass. His
tongue was hanging outside of his mouth and his eyes clearly said that he was
suffering from mental illness.
Eyes... sad eyes,
I realized.
I walked along three Edwards
Scissorhands and sat on the green couch at back of the room. Only scissors and
roaring of lion from TV were breaking silence in the room. Scissors were
cutting air and lion was not real.
´Lion, lion, you look so weak in
that box,´ I thought... The King?
A sudden movement in the retarded
man´s hands broke my meditation. It was some kind of dance of man with the
hanging tongue and the hairdressers. He moved with the broom so gently and
I did not have time to notice, when all the hair from the floor disappeared.
As my hair started falling down,
looking at my reflexion in the mirror I envied the man with the hanging
tongue. Although he had a horrible life, he succeeded to find his place in his
life where he fits perfectly. He succeeded in which many of us fail.
I would teach everybody to
open their eyes so everybody could find their own broom.
Door opened and somebody entered.
He was dry.
He was dry.
