Predstavitev prakse in pogovor z Natálio Sýkorovo / Artist talk with Natália Sýkorová

Natália Sýkorová je umetnica, ki se v svojem delu ukvarja s presekom tehnoloških in ekoloških vprašanj. V njenih večplastnih projektih se prepletajo performans, kiparstvo, utelešene spekulacije, metodologije iger vlog, tehnološki in drugi vmesniki, zvok in nelinearno pripovedovanje, pogosto pa so tudi izhodišča in prostori za sodelovanje z drugimi. Pogovor bo predstavil vprašanja in pristope, ki zaznamujejo njeno delo in širše raziskovanje drugačnih načinov ustvarjanja znanja – in (narativov) prihodnosti –, ter prinesel razmišljanje o tem, kakšno vlogo v tem igrajo umetniške prakse. Pogovor bo hkrati uvod v kolektivni razstavni projekt, ki bo na ogled jeseni v Švicariji, moderirala ga bo Tjaša Pogačar.

Sýkorová je diplomirala na Univerzitetnem kolidžu v Londonu (Bartlettova šola za arhitekturo) in magistrirala na Akademiji za umetnost, arhitekturo in oblikovanje v Pragi (UMPRUM), trenutno pa je doktorska raziskovalka digitalnih umetnosti na Akademiji likovnih umetnosti in oblikovanja v Bratislavi. Svoja dela je predstavljala v galeriji Kunsthalle Bratislava (2023), Mestni galeriji Praga (2025), galeriji ACUD v Berlinu (2024), centru MeetFactory v Pragi (2025) ter v muzeju MuseumsQuartier na Dunaju (2023), kjer je bila tudi rezidentka Q21. Njeno delo je bilo v sodelovanju s Crosslucid nedavno razstavljeno tudi v Hiši elektronske umetnosti v Baslu (2025). Prihodnje razstave bodo v Mednarodnem grafičnem likovnem centru Ljubljana ter v galerijah BWA Wrocław in GJK v Trnavi.

Dogodek organizira MGLC v sodelovanju z Zavodom Projekt Atol.

Vstop prost.

Natália Sýkorová is an artist whose practice engages with technological and ecological questions. Her multilayered projects emerge as ecologies in which performance, sculpture, embodied speculation, role-playing methodologies, technological and other interfaces, sound and non-linear storytelling interweave, often serving as points of departure and spaces for collaboration.
The conversation will introduce the questions and approaches that underpin her work, as well as a broader inquiry into how knowledge – and futures – can be produced differently. It will also consider how artistic practices can disrupt dominant narratives and propose alternative models of futurity. The conversation, which also serves as an introduction to a collective exhibition project to be shown in the autumn at Švicarija, will be moderated by Tjaša Pogačar.

Sýkorová holds a degree from University College London (Bartlett School of Architecture) and a postgraduate degree from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM), and is currently a doctoral researcher in Digital Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava. She has presented her work at Kunsthalle Bratislava (2023), City Gallery Prague (2025), ACUD Galerie Berlin (2024), MeetFactory Prague (2025) and MuseumsQuartier Vienna (2023), where she was also a Q21 resident. In collaboration with Crosslucid, her work was recently exhibited at the House of Electronic Arts Basel (2025). Future exhibitions include the International Centre of Graphic Arts Ljubljana, BWA Wrocław and GJK Trnava.

The event is organised by MGLC in collaboration with Projekt Atol Institute.
