22. 4. 2024 / 18.00
We cordially invite you to an informal discussion with the artists of the exhibition “Will I Ever Look Into Your Eyes Again?” – Katarína Bajkayová, Klaudia Kosziba, and Paula Malinowska. Through diverse formal approaches (ceramics, painting, 3D digital animation), they reveal themes of transformation, rebirth, eroticism, sex, and strange alien love. The event offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the artists’ strategies, their ideological backgrounds, and the process of creating the specific works presented.

Katarína Bajkayová (*1994) graduated from the Faculty of Arts of the Technical University in Košice, where she is currently a PhD student. She is a graduate student at the University of Technology in Bratislava, where she is currently working on her PhD. She mainly works on spatial installations, combining ceramics with other materials. Currently, she is particularly interested in the themes of social relations, housing, and eroticism, which she explores in the contexts of natural sciences, mythology, architecture, and literature.
Klaudia Kosziba (*1971) is a painter and teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. Since 2008, she has been leading the Ateliér mal+by. Kosziba’s artistic program has long been focused on uniquely painterly issues, problems of the mode of representation, or its historical transformations. In her latest paintings, her starting point becomes her direct experience with mushrooms, tracing the metamorphosis of their aesthetic qualities, growth, or disappearance.
Paula Malinowska (*1998) graduated from the Department of Intermedia at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava (2020-2022), specifically in the vvv studio (Dávid Koronczi and Martin Piaček). She bases her work on the theme of the Anthropocene and our relationship to non-human reality. Paula interprets these issues through mythology, which she “undermines” with new readings and reveals new contexts.
The program of this gallery is supported using public funding by the Slovak Arts Council.
The Slovak Arts Council is the main partner of the project.
