General Information

I am Slovak contemporary artist, curator, researcher and cultural activist. The main themes in my work are city, utopia, oscillation between past and future, posthumanism. In my artistic practice I work in the field of painting, installation, photography and video.

Mission and Objectives

I feel I want to know Arab culture and art more deeply as I believe that the diversity of cultures is always the enrichment for both sides.

Main Projects / Activities

During my career I had had the opportunity to visit Middle East several times: Rational vs Intuitive group exhibition at Etihad Modern Art Gallery, Abu Dhabi in 2018, Slovakian Art Month Residency at Art Hub Abu Dhabi in 2017, 1st UAE Art Biennale under the Ministry of Culture, Al Ain in 2016, Creativity Between Compulsion And Mutiny symposium at Museum Of Modern Art Al Minya or Alexandria Symposium For Mediterranean Arts under the Alexandria Film Festival in Egypt in 2014.
The re-visits of the Middle East countries have been extremely enriching for me, giving me an insight into a very interesting culture and art.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

I the past I organised some international curatorial projects involving Arab artists and presented them to a European audience. I would like to continue with that activity.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

I think ALF Network could provide me contacts of the international organizations for possible future cooperation.
