STATEMENT
My intention is to go over personal archives, to rethink my current practice and to try to realise my further steps without specified result behind it. So, my residency would be a process of looking back with an aim to better understand the future of personal practice. I might prepare a presentation of my existing practice and confront it with my current institutional experiences and working conditions. As I often create spontaneous works based on impressions of urban explorations, it might happen that I will anyway produce some simple in-situ and studio works during my residency.
