Gallery with pictures of naked women we meet almost everywhere. In galleries, museums, advertisements and movies. These are usually images created by men. Women on them are beautiful, slender and especially passive. Thanks to feminism, we understand today that such depictions are not true or innocent. For decades, many artists have been rebelling against them and show that a woman can be old, fat, noisy or angry. Within the lecture we will see what various statements about women's experience offer the creation of contemporary Slovak painters. Or, what does it look like when a "bare girl" is painted by a woman.

Mgr. Alexandra Tamasova, PhD. (1985), historian, critic and curator of art. In 2012 - 2025 she worked in the Slovak National Gallery as a curator of collections of modern and contemporary art. He is currently working in the Center of Research at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. It deals with contemporary art with an emphasis on the themes of nature, body and corporeality, identity, marginalized groups and widespread consciousness. He focuses on exhibitions, writing professional articles and reviews, moderates discussions and prepares a Modran cabaret.

Leitmotif of the fourth year of the lecture series The new interfaces 04 is the body and corporeality of the age of digital technologies. We are interested in the topics of corporeality, as well as physical sublimation in digital interfaces, non -normative bodies, animality of bodyality or body memory, which artists and artists discuss in their works in various media positions and forms.
