Klaudia Korbelič (*1990) belongs to the young generation of visual artists who simultaneously work on the Czech and Slovak art scenes. In her work, she focuses on two lines: classical sculpture subjected to mechanical-performative deformation and site-specific installations and objects. Her themes draw from both the present and the past, addressing issues related to the army, boxing, sci-fi, architectural principles, and exploring the status of contemporary humans and questions about their future. Interaction with viewers is a crucial element of her work, as is the process of creation, transformation, and disappearance of sculptural artifacts. She often exposes these artifacts to various external and internal influences that destroy, transform, and dematerialize them. Through this process, the artist explores the sculptural medium itself and tests its boundaries, questioning what can still be considered sculpture and what transcends this category. She observes how the formal and contextual aspects of a sculptural artifact change as it undergoes specific situations and processes or is exposed to them. The artist has participated in several successful group and solo exhibitions in Slovakia and abroad. She lives and works in Brno.

The conceptual basis of Lenka L. Lukačovičová’s (*1987) projects involves exploring issues and questions related to human existence, place, the medium of photography, and cultural identity. She focuses on fundamental questions of life, past, and future, while examining the position and role of photography in the visual world. Lukačovičová reflects on old socio-economic structures and global climate changes arising from the fluidity of modernity through subtle symbols, references, and compositions. In her practice, she creates mixed-media objects and procedural works, primarily rooted in analog photography. She also researches photography as a secondary medium in performance, installation, and public space. She serves as the head of Protoateliér at the Department of Photography and New Media at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, where she creates and resides.
