On 2 October 2021, the Jozef Kollár Gallery (GaJK) turned into a site for an experimental performance by the “Honey and Dust” artistic group. The stage work, entitled "outside the box 01", by Andrej Kalinka and Milan Kozánek, was seen by spectators in the GaJK Grand Hall. "Outside the box 01" is inspired by the research and personal legacy of Abbot Gregor Johann Mendel, the founder of the modern science of genetics and the discoverer of the basic laws of heredity. “Outside the box 01” is an introductory project of a planned series of performative works devoted to the interface of scientific and artistic ways of learning about the world.

Honey and Dust is an art group moving along the boundaries of art forms and genres. Under its roof, works are created on the borderline between theatre performances, concerts and installations. This work is presented in theatres as well as in galleries and on concert stages. The starting point of the work is complementary art, an artistic language based on a symbiosis of means of expression. Performers are musicians, artists, actors, dancers. The aim is to look for new ways of artistic expression in the form of live movement between diverse artistic communities and means. An important part of the Honey and Dust’s creative work is not only allowing for an overlap within the means of art, but also enabling to study the interrelationships between art, biology, psychology, philosophy, history, physics, genetics, etc. within the individual works. Therefore, complementarity takes place at the levels of both form and content.
