Ivana Slavíková mot de l’artiste

Born in 1981, in Hnúšťa, Slovakia

2002–2008: Academy of Arts, Banská Bystrica

Her installations are situated at a thin line between the public and the private, the monumental and the intimate. She challenges traditionally female, folk techniques and subjects in the confrontation of materials and in the tension between optic and haptic. In the cycle Iron Woman she employs a comic strip technique as a metaphor. She works with historical and personal memory, dream, sub-consciousness and viewer´s perception. Instead of imposing her own story upon a viewer, she provides him/her with enough room for own interpretations.
