Watch the video below.
As a curator, Lucia Gavulová’s main focus is the contemporary art scene and discourse since the nineties in Slovakia and Czech Republic. In this talk, Gavulová will present the Oskár Čepan Award which she manages, an annual art prize in Slovakia with no media limitations for artists under the age of forty, which provides the laureates a two month residency at Residency Unlimited. Besides discussing the discursive-like platform of this award, Gavulová will provide a short but intense overview of the exceptional practices of its nominees and laureates since 2018, and the often adventurous impact that New York has on their trajectories.
