tectonics - the scientific geological discipline of the deformation of the Earth's surface, but also the internal construction of a work of art or text
The exhibition of the visual artist of the youngest generation presents current works from the artist's long-term research, in which she programmatically integrates intermedia practices into the expanded field of painting. Her characteristic work with natural earth materials and appropriated textures is a result of her interest in the analytical visual transcription of outdoor space into artworks. The artist's own movement in natural systems is of a field-based to archaeological collection of materials that allow for the visual transcription of layers into forms that are perceived not as painting surfaces, but as open site-specific environments - tectonics. In acknowledging the spatial structures of cellular materials, textiles, and soils, it creates actualized content sediments, the in-between spaces of an indigenous and synthesized ecosystem. An object composed in this way has the potential of not only a cultural but also a cultic artifact. Individual environments united in installation communication transform white-cube space into a new anthropological form of landscape, a new memory of place and its transformation.
The project was supported by a grant by Slovak Arts Council.
