Martin Piaček

Since 2006 Martin Piaček (1972) has been thematically dealing in his work chiefly with a personal identity from the nationally historic point of view, a genetically accidental affilation to the Slovakian national and state identity and the following unobvious cultural identity as well. Piaček peculiarly engages in critical points of his „own“ national history. Distrust in official history and its linear causality and purpose mythologization is typical of his work as well as the need to cope with the given predetermination and curiosity related to a personal research.

Martin Piaček
The number of fields and trends Tomáš Uhnák devotes his attention to is misleading. In reality we can discover intersections and a „specialization“ of its kind, which is based on „expert generalism“, to use his own term. In other words in an effort aimed at intentional, conscious generalization and interconnection of different fields of interest. This is connected with constant negotiating related to the organization of different regimes of changing the world.
