JENEWEIN GALLERY: February 3, fashion shows, hats and more I Iveta Lederer

26.9.2024

Since the very beginning of the Jenewein Group, we have collaborated countless times with the academic painter, fashion designer, lace maker, teacher, jewelry maker, theater and stage designer Iveta Lederer. She is not only our long-term colleague, but also a family friend of our chairman – among other things, they share the same day and month of birth. The holder of several top awards from various international exhibitions of contemporary art, she is also known as a supporter of young fashion designers and talented emerging artists. This is also one of our common topics during conversations at birthday parties, dozens of fashion shows of which we were the general partner, social events or meetings for other occasions and projects. Iveta Lederer, as a recognized expert on etiquette and clothing culture, also became the president of the jury of the Competition for the most attractive hat. It was part of the Garden Benefit Party in support of the Children's Safety Line (Linka detskej istoty) during the Grand Prix Jenewein in show jumping. Even in 2002, this event, of which we were the general partner between 1998 and 2006, was dominated by colorful creations of straw and textile hats. The main prize went to the then director of the British Chamber of Commerce in Slovakia, the second prize was won by a hat with red poppies and a ribbon from the workshop of Iveta Lederer, the third place was taken by Zuzana Krekáčová with a delicate flower decoration. In addition to the photo from this event, in the Jenewein gallery we also have a 3D painting by Iveta Lederer called Fénix, which decorates one of the rooms in our company premises.

JENEWEIN GALLERY: Film MEKY and CD The Last Things I Miroslav Žbirka

10.9.2024

The Jenewein gallery's music collection is enriched by two exhibits associated with the name of Miroslav Žbirka, which are extremely precious not only for us. The documentary film MEKY (Miro Žbirka Close Snapshot – Zblízka) became part of our collection in 2020, when we commemorated the 30th anniversary of Jenewein Group. Miro Žbirka's album The Last Things (Posledné veci) was added in May 2022, only half a year after Meky's death in November 2021. For the Jenewein Group, it is known that we like to connect special moments with artistic personalities from different fields. Music and singing legend Miroslav Žbirka has a prominent place among them. As the general partner of the music documentary MEKY, we accompanied its journey to the audience from the pre-premiere at a private garden party in Prague, through the Czech and Slovak premieres to the ceremonial screening in Prague's Lucerne connected with the launch of the representative 3CD The Best Of Miro Žbirka and the Songbook. Both are a continuation of the recapitulation of more than forty years of successful activity of Miroslav Žbirka on the Czech-Slovak scene. Of course, we also supported its distribution among our partners and thousands of Meky's supporters. It is with admiration and gratitude that we became the general partner of Miro Žbirka's CD The Last Things (Posledné veci). It is the fifteenth studio album that Meky managed to write and sing before his death. David Žbirka completed the successful and later frequently awarded work with the help of supportive producers and musicians. Although Meky's life has ended, his work remains here with us - also as part of our gallery. #mekynaveky

A new hit after 24 years – also thanks to Jenewein Art Consulting

21.6.2024

Jenewein Group is a long-standing Art Consulting partner of the singer and composer Marika Gombitová. The result of this collaboration is also the new song Fantóm srdca (Phantom of the Heart), which Marika came up with after 24 long years. The studio recording of the new hit and the official video clip from the workshop of 3D animator Martin Vierik premiered on June 21, 2024. Many of us remember, and for others we clarify, that during Marika's singing career, new songs were premiered first at festivals or concerts and only then were released in a studio recording on a music carrier. And she used exactly the same procedure now – she sang two new songs Fantóm srdca and Stúpanie (Rising) for the first time in January of this year in Prague's O2 arena. New hits from the proven tandem Marika Gombitová (music) and Kamil Peteraj (lyrics) quickly wanted to find their way to the fans, so Marika was the first to publish a live recording of the song Fantóm srdca in the form of a lyrics video on her official YouTube channel. We can't help but remind you that our own Filip Krekáč participated in the production of the concert videos for both new songs together with Martin Vierik as a creative director. And finally: the final mastering was done in the prestigious Abbey Road studios in London.

JENEWEIN GALLERY: Woman of the Year I Bratislava Leaders Magazine

9.4.2024

In the Woman of the Year (Žena roka) project, which launched several initiatives in 2007 and 2008, appreciating and making women's careers more visible, several areas were combined together, including business and art. We are still very proud of it, so this project rightfully deserves a place in our Jenewein gallery. Its goal was to attract attention and express public recognition to women with significant work and family achievements. The announcer and organizer of the competition was Bratislava Leaders Magazine. It was an original activity that followed a similar social event in the Czech Republic, where Prague Leaders Magazine stood in the background. Fifteen nominated women in five categories plus a special category Woman of the 21st century formed the main framework of the event, which was also broadcast by the public Slovak television. Andrea Cocherová, Oľga Gyarfášová, Iveta Chlebáková, Elena Kohútiková, Milena Koreňová, Alexandra Novotná Rozborilová, Iveta Radičová, Zuzana Sternová, Silvia Šarköziová and Ľubica Vargicová became the winners of individual categories in two editions. Women of the 21st century became Eva Blahová, Marika Gombitová and Eva Siracká. Celebrities such as Silvia Gašparovičová, Jiří Paroubek, Eduard Kukan, Soňa Müllerová, Jan Rosák, Martin Nikodym, Monika Absolonová, Bára Basiková, Andrea Zimányiová and many, many others took part in the gala dinner entitled Women who move history. In addition to the prestigious award, the winners took home a wooden statuette of a Woman on a Pedestal, the author of which is the artistic carver Vladimír Morávek. The consulting group Jenewein Group participated in the creation of the concept and the final form of the project. Martin Krekáč headed the jury (its members were, for example, the publisher of Prague Leaders Magazine Benke Aikell, the publisher of Bratislava Leaders Magazine Hana Juřenová, opera singer Jaroslav Dvorský, CEO of American Express for Slovakia and the Czech Republic Michael Fabián, CEO of the Stock Exchange Mária Hurajová, owner of the magazine Slovenka Mária Reháková, MP Magdaléna Vášáryová and fashion designer Jana Berg). Fipra Slovakia was one of the main partners. We achieved the support and participation of other successful companies and personalities and the interest of the media thanks to our experience in the field of Art Consulting. The author of the scenario and the director of the evening was the director and documentarian Yvonne Vavrová. The visual form and presentation of the event was worked on by the studio Ante Meridiem (AM/PM Communication Group), with whom we were connected through our colleague Milan Šemelák.

Special Crystal Wing Award for M. Gombitová

20.3.2024

On March 16, 2024, we participated not only as guests at the Crystal Wing awards (Krištáľové krídlo) for the year 2023 at the Slovak National Theater. We were part of Marika Gombitová's team, which won the Special Crystal Wing Award. The added value of Marika's participation at the gala evening was the Slovak and TV premiere of the new song Phantom of the Heart (Fantóm srdca) by the proven author tandem M. Gombitová – K. Peteraj. The prestigious lifetime achievement award is in the right hands – we are sure of that as a long-term partner of this exceptional singer and songwriter. Moreover, the success of our partners is also our success. Long-term managerial and consulting experience across many sectors is the basis of our specialized expertise in the field of Art Consulting as well. We work with Marika especially when setting artistic strategies or creating new business opportunities. Every year we are also involved in the Crystal Wing project – we are among the supporters of its legacy. The effort to spread the positive and inspiring results of the creative work of the most successful personalities, regardless of borders and field of activity, has been close to us for years. Wherever possible, we encourage the visibility of worthy examples to follow and pay tribute to admirable human achievements.

JENEWEIN GALLERY: Broken promise I GENTA FILM

15.3.2024

A few films also have their place in the Jenewein gallery. One of them is the full-length war drama Broken Promise – Nedodržaný sľub (SK I CZ I USA), the distribution of which we supported for its high quality and deep human message. The film by screenwriter Jan Novák and director Jiří Chlumský, based on the motifs of Martin Petrášek's book Broken Promise, was successfully released on cinema screens in 2009 by the production company GENTA FILM. At the time of its premiere, we watched the film reconstruction of the atypical but real-life story of Martin Friedmann-Petrášek, a Jewish boy from the town of Bánovce nad Bebravou, at a special screening in the premises of the Astorka Theater in Bratislava. The film won a number of awards at home and abroad, including nine nominations for the 2010 National Film Award Sun in the Net or awards at festivals in the USA, Portugal, Monaco, the Czech Republic, and Brazil. It also became a Slovak candidate for nomination for the most prestigious film award Oscar in the category Best Foreign Language Film for 2009. The connection with the successful film Broken Promise was part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Jenewein's presence on the Slovak and Czech markets, which we commemorated with various activities throughout the year 2010.

JENEWEIN GALLERY: Entry of Slovakia into the EU I F. Schiller & Ľ. Feldek & F. Guldan I Ode to Joy

27.2.2024

When Ľubomír Feldek translated the verses of Schiller's Ode to Joy into Slovak on the occasion of Slovakia's accession to the EU, we enthusiastically supported its book publication. The book, bound by hand and in leather, was published in a limited numbered edition of 100 copies, produced and designed by Viktor Vojtek. It was illustrated by Fero Guldan, and the foreword was written by the author of the translation, Ľubomír Feldek, who personally signed each copy. The book was printed by Tlačiarne BB Banská Bystrica and bound by Knihárska dielňa Lida Mlichová Žilina. The original version of the poem Ode to Joy became popular over time, but it achieved its greatest recognition when, together with the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, who used it in the finale of his Ninth Symphony, it informally became the anthem of the European Union. Informally because the Council of Europe in 1972 officially accepted only the melody of the Ode to Joy. In the universal language of music, it expresses the ideals of freedom, peace and solidarity common to all of Europe. The publication of the mentioned book with the 15th anniversary logo of our consulting group on Ex Libris brought us great joy. We consider the entry of the Slovak Republic into the EU to be one of the fundamental historical moments in the history of our country – 2024 is the year of its 20th anniversary. We experienced it very intensively as citizens and as entrepreneurs and consultants providing advice not only during our full membership in the EU, but also several years before during the preparations and accession process. Already in 1998, we founded the consulting and analytical institute EPPP – European Public Policy Partnership, and in 2004, when we became a full member of the community of European countries, we opened our EU office in Brussels.

JENEWEIN GALLERY: Right on time & Go west I M. Palonder

19.2.2024

The 60th birthday of the singer, musician, music composer and teacher Marcel Palonder prompted us to present another exhibit from the music collection in the Jenewein gallery collection. Our cooperation began with the production of the competition song Right on time/Kým nás máš (text by Jozef Urban, music by Juraj Burian), with which he ranked on the 18th place at the 1996 Eurovision Song Contes in Oslo, Norway. This is Slovakia's best placement so far at the prestigious international music TV festival in the world. The hit Right on time was released on a separate CD in Slovak, English and in dance versions. In addition, there is a bonus track on the Go west CD with a special booklet introducing the Jenewein Group portfolio and people. The Jenewein Group was the producer of the CD and in addition to Marcel Palonder, other well-known artists participated in its creation – Juraj Burian, Daniel Mikletič, Katka Korček, Jozef Urban, Milan Illík and Svetozár Ilavský with a face motif from a limited series of colored wooden sculptures created especially for Jenewein Group. Marcel Palonder was 32 years old at the time of his success at the Eurovision Song Contes. He already had a successful musical career as a singer and member of the Czechoslovak music group Mandragora. He studied piano, composition and conducting at the conservatory in Bratislava, and later studied opera singing in Monaco. Already at the age of ten he performed with his own compositions. Lately, he has been mainly engaged in composing stage and film music, solo performances and studio work. In February of this year, he celebrated the above-mentioned 60th birthday, and we hereby join the numerous line of congratulators and wish him good health and joy.
