Martin Piaček

Martin Piaček (Bratislava,1972) is an artist and the head of vvv studio at the Intermedia Department of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. Trained in sculpture, he works with a broad range of media and strategies, trying to reconsider the traditional sculptural techniques and materials. Although his long term interest lies in individual and collective memory, national heroes and myths, mostly from modern European history, his recent projects open towards a broader environmental focus. In addition to his art and teaching practices he is involved in many curatorial and organizational projects, providing expertise on public space and the politics of monuments. He has been working on the dramaturgy of the Soft Norm lecture series and most recently, the globally oriented Liquid Dogmas project (http://www.liquiddogmas.org). He is a founding member of the civic association Public Pedestal (www.verejnypodstavec.com), the exhibition format DiStO (www.disto.sk) and a supporter of the KU.BA platform (www.kulturnabratislava.sk). His works have been presented as solo shows and within numerous group exhibition in Slovakia and abroad. Recently his projects were presented in East Slovak Gallery in Košice (2020), Art Encounters Biennale Timişoara (2019), Karlín Studios in Prague (2018), Futura Gallery Prague (2017) and Kunsthalle Bratislava (2016) among others.
