Dernisage and guided tour of the exhibition I Wish that I Was Made of Stone with Lucie Tallová and curator Jan Kudrna.
Lucia Tallová works with objects, their memories and histories. Guided by her distinctive sensitivity and perception, she discovers and further develops remarkable connections between the shapes and materials of found items and her own artistic intervention. In doing so, she conducts a unique kind of archaeological research—not through sterile commentary on the original material, but through subtle, sensitive compositions that pose questions and leave space 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.
