Lucia Tallová's exhibition I Wish I Was Made of Stone has already opened and the curator of the exhibition Jan Kudrna and the artist Lucia Tallová describe the exhibition in an audio guide.
Lucia Tallová works with objects, their memories and memory. Her authorial sensibility and insight allows her to find and further develop remarkable connections between the shapes and materials of the original objects and her own authorial layer. Thus, she undertakes her own type of a certain archaeological research, where there is no sterile commenting on the original material, but instead subtle, sensitive compositions that ask questions and leave room for answers.
