Exhibition of The Betakova Hlavina Art Collection

In the summer of 2016, I was invited by the Slovak Embassy to present The Betakova Hlavina Art Collection.

These writings are a form of introduction, rather than an exhaustive and complete description of The Multiple Sculpture, The Multiple Art, and the role of these concepts in our society. As a practising artist and dedicated sculptor, I am forwarding my findings and thoughts, in order to initiate the necessary study, in greater depth, within the area of multiple expression.
