OPENINGS: EVA KOT’ÁTKOVÁ
WHERE DOES THE SPACE of the human body begin and end? How do subjects position themselves against oppressive cultural norms? Fundamental questions of this kind have defined much philosophical and political thought, from Plato to Marx—but they are often treated as grand abstractions rather than as discernible effects on the self. Prague-based artist Eva Kot’átková, however, gets personal: Her installations, sculptures, performances, collages, videos, and drawings give visual form to the social and psychological forces that invisibly shape human experience as it is lived out in the body.
