the alley of famous noses > Stano Radič and Jaro Filip
Vernissage in the Alley of Famous Noses, 24 th August 2005, was also the opening ceremony of Kremnické gagy 2005 (25 th year). Music and songs of Jaro Filip were performed by Kremnica´s musical group Regiment Instrument. The Alley of Famous Noses was fulled up. It was the first event of festival and there were lots of celebrities, guests and visitors.
Stano Radič´ aphorisms which entertain visitors and spectators were recited by Rasťo Piško. Ján Fakla, manager of festival, moderated the opening ceremony. Iveta Radičová emphasized the idea of noses as the most important organs of humourists and satirists. After her speech, Prime Minister Mikuláš Dzurinda, was remembering both humourists. On the Prime Minister left hand there is mayor of Kremnica Miroslav Nárožný and author of both sculptures Miroslav Ronai.
Credo, which symbolically covered Jaro Filip and Stano Radič noses, remembered that everyone of us is finite: ”We think (of you) therefore (yet) we are…” Roman Vykysalý had to cut the band of chained scissors at first and only then Mikuláš Dzurinda could cut and exposed the sculptures.
Iveta Radičová and Mikuláš Dzurinda performed ceremonial exposure of sculptures (on behalf of Jaro Filip family absented). Balloons with the bequest for Jaro Filip and Stano Radič are flying into the sky. Catharsis.
Then posing for medias followed. But the strong feeling lasted in souls and minds of everyone. Journalists´ remarks are situated on this webpage in ”Reports” of 25 th year (2005). The author of work is Miroslav Ronai from Kremnica. Based on another idea of Roman Vykysalý, the tradition of Saturday breakfast for the members of Slovak Humour Academy with the community of Kremnica´s painters was established.
