LINKA @ Plusminusnula gallery


















Besides my artistic practice, I also teach at the Faculty of Arts, Technical University of Košice. In March 2018, this fantastic student workshop took place at the Plusminusnula gallery in Žilina, Slovakia. It resulted in a group show. Read more about the project below:

FU TUKE Students: LINE
. Not a goal line, not a bus line, nor one created with an eyeliner. Line is the topic and name of the workshop for students of the Department of Visual Arts and Intermedia of the Faculty of Arts of the Technical University of Košice. They will spend an intense creative week at the Plusmínusnula Gallery, reacting to the assignment under supervision of Svetlana Fialová and Boris Sirka, gaining new experience, setting up lines to link them together, and ultimately a group exhibition.The workshop concentrates on line and the way it is grasped in an artist’s mind, on paper and in space. The students will concentrate on the moment when a line materializes, passing from thought to the physical space around us — transforming from something abstract and vague into a concrete visual form.The young authors will in the background of the gallery work with line in space, in video animation, in site-specific installations, in sound recordings, they will have a chance to try out the screen printing technique, get acquainted with book binding, but also experiment with the art of tattoo. The spectators will have a chance to experience not only the exhibition itself, but also what goes on behind the scenes of the gallery during the students’ creative process.
