Commented tour of the exhibition I Wish I Were Made of Stone with Lucie Tallová and curator Jan Kudrna. The event will also include a catalogue launch.
Lucia Tallová works with objects, their memories and memory. Her authorial sensibility and insight allows her to find and further develop the remarkable connections between the shapes and materials of the original objects and her own authorial layer. In doing so, she undertakes her own type of particular archaeological research, where there is no sterile commentary on the original material, but rather subtle, sensitive compositions that pose questions and leave room for answers.
Lucia Tallová (*1985) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava at the Department of Painting in the studio of Ivan Csudai. She is the winner of several prestigious awards, including the NOVUM Foundation Award, the Tatra Bank Foundation Award, the VUB Foundation Painting of the Year and the Strabag Kunstforum Art Award. She has participated in several international residencies in France, Austria, Brazil and California. She was also part of the 16th Biennale de Lyon in 2022. She regularly exhibits both in Slovakia and abroad. She has had solo exhibitions in the past in the Czech Republic, Holland, Turkey, France, Brazil and Japan.
