Text by the curator of the exhibition Jana Babušiaková:
The joint exhibition of the three authors foregrounds the subjectivity and intimacy, while presenting this point of view through fragmentation, similar to a diary entry. In the works, they work in the media of drawing, collages, layering not only motifs but also types of inspirations, from personal to social, biological, cultural, art, historical and symbols that "sift" into the current life situations and feelings with their own perspective. Their art practice is sharing and co-experiencing certain formulas in a unique composition, similar to how internet users work with templates, formats and songs when creating their own content. It's the POV ("Point of View" - point of view ) that makes this mix unique. The authors invite us into their approaches, which range from realism to abstract forms and from the feelings that come with motherhood to the exploration of natural elements and automatism based on the signs of writing and pictograms. It's not about activism, but about the autobiographical nature of perception, the new grasp and subsequent transformation in painting or drawing.
The preoccupation with trace and materiality in this case distinguishes this approach from the online interface. The fragment that forms the whole is tangible and re-experienced in its physical essence as it's created. Being and being present in the moment thus become an important narrative that is doubled and amplified by the tangibility of the work.
The creation of Svetlana Fialová's works has been supported by public funding in the form of a scholarship from the Slovak Arts Council.
