Csaba and Suzanne Kis Establish Art Presence in Samorin Without Formal Training

Csaba and Suzanne Kis have created an art space in Samorin, Slovakia, despite having no formal art education or institutional management experience. Located just 20 minutes southeast of Bratislava, Samorin is a provincial town that shows typical Central European signs of war, occupation, and neglect. The couple's persistent efforts are gradually putting Samorin on Slovakia's fine art map. Their project fulfills both their own aspirations and those of artists. This development was documented in July 2002 by ARTMargins Online through an interview conducted by Marisa Prihodova from Prague.
