CRISIS – BLOOD

The artist’s main goal is to use often shocking performances (in which she engages her body) to shock the spectator and emphasize the importance of the subjects scrutinized.  The artist’s body can be perceived as a tool through which she speaks to the public while simultaneously stressing her personal involvement in a particular issue. The use of her body and the symbolic aspect of her work can be seen in one of her best-known works, “Who Can Erase the Traces”, for which she received the Golden Lion award for young artists under the age of thirty at the 2005 Venice Biennial.

CRISIS – BLOOD
Conceptualized by Zbyněk Baladrán, Vít Bohal, Dustin Breitling and Václav Janoščík, the conference brings together theorists, artists and organizers who collaborate and elaborate on their visions in order to discover junctures of overlap for thinking about the emancipatory potentials of the future.
