Katarína Gatialová

curator in residence April 2015, Slovakia /



Statement

"I would like to process several subjects that I aim to develop: The first of them relates to the work and the topic that is associated with issues of cultural and curatorial work in context of our emerging institution Nova synagoga / kunsthalle Zilina.
My aim is to learn about the most progressive ways of exhibition-making and its combining with vivid accompanying program.
The second field of interest refers to introduce in Vienna our work in Zilina and discuss with both, professionals and public, our approach towards organizing exhibitions, discussions and other types of cultural events.
Furthermore I would like to focus on the Viennese media art scene, which is connected with my professional activities as a curator and critic of media art."
