Petra Čížková
Lecture Title: Posthumans, plants and becomings.
Petra Čížková studied at the Mal+by Studio (2008-2013) at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. During her studies, she took a residency at the Studio of Video and Multimedia led by doc. akad. soch. Anna Daučíková and a semestral residency at Ecole de Beaux Art et Design in Saint-Etienne in France. At the moment, she is pursuing her doctoral studies at the Department of Painting at AFAD. She has participated at various group exhibitions, e.g. Fetishes of Today at Nitra Gallery (2019), Vezme to ruka, Galerie Pragovka, Praha (2018), Flower Exhibition, Gagarinka Gallery, Bratislava (2015), Fem(inist) fatale, Kunsthalle Bratislava (2015), she organised Oppidum residenti, a site-specific symposium and exhibition at the Eszterházy Manor in Galanta (2016) and the Tutti Frutti festival of contemporary art at Tržnica [Marketplace] at Trnavské mýto in Bratislava (2014). She chooses themes that help man find a new dimension of his courage to cross the boundaries of the subjective and objective, private and public, figuratively, with a rather rare ability to differentiate between irony and lightness in the immanent relationship of the internal and external, autonomous and implanted, active and passive. She is able to use this mutually reversible, overlapping or even colliding pattern of predetermined terms to create a space for transgression not just from the perspective of her own experience, but also thanks to her ability to see the artistic and aesthetic potential in her surroundings and turn it into something completely unconventional.
