Vernisáž výstavy Všetko ti dám

The opening of the exhibition Všetko ti dam will take place on December 5 in the Zichy gallery.

Linda Viková's exhibition offers an insight into her author's practice in the medium of clay on the floor plan of 2020-2025. Her work is anchored in direct contact with the materiality of ceramics and porcelain and has long been moving on a flexible trajectory of design and sculpture. She herself declares her relationship to ceramics as unconditional, but she is not subject to the tyranny of technology, she bypasses the traps of hermetic sentimentalism and reforms her position through concentrated material research.

(Not only) she conducts glaze experiments with respect for the modernist tradition and at the same time directly holds up to her the mirror of ethical and ecological responsibility. Does the ceramic discipline today need the toxicity of metal oxides or does it make sense to think through recycling and experiment, e.g. with cellulose or ash? With her objects and vessels, Linda Viková argues about craft as one of the horizons of art (Glenn Adamson), looks for stimulating historical and strong contemporary stories, tests the ceramic medium in interdisciplinary collaborations (e.g. with Patrícia Koyšová). The exhibition is thus not only a gallery presentation of works, the research line has an important place in its dramaturgy, such as a video documentary (in collaboration with Vladimíra Hradecká) and a visual library of glaze experiments.
