Field: Políčko – Contemporary Art in Taipei presents Yu Cheng Ta
Ladislava Gažiová is a painter, curator and activist from Slovakia and has been living in Prague for some years. Her early work is characterized by the inspiration of graffiti, using of stencils and sprays, and work with social topics. In recent years, however, Gažiová has been focusing on curatorial work, in which social themes, particularly the topic of the Roma minority, are at the heart of her work.

Sometimes we are telling someone something and we are actually saying it more to ourselves. The other person acts as a mirror, a mere part of the process in which we reveal ourselves to ourselves in a new form. The difference between monologue and dialogue is blurred.
