If you are talking about only displaying a module on certain articles that do not have a menu item to control the display with, one solution would be to add in an assertion to your template in a new module position, something like:

<?php
$articleId = Number of article from a query or set as static value....
if(JRequest::getVar('option') == 'com_content' && JRequest::getVar('id') == $articleId)
{
?>
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="slideshow" style="xhtml"/>
<?php
}
?>

That is how you would do it if the module position is outside of the content area, alternatively if you want to display a module inside an article you could use {loadposition myModulePosition}, just make sure the module is set to display on all pages (dont worry it wont due to the conditional).
