On Friday, March 13th, an international colloqium will take place at Villa Lanna. Researcher and Work package 1 Leader Andrea Průchová Hrůzová will present her recent work at the event.
In her paper titled Constellations of Women’s Life Writing and Re-construction of Ideological, Geopolitical, and Artistic Spaces. The Case of Charlotta Kotik’s Biography,Andrea Průchová Hrůzová will present both the methodological questions and the preliminary thematic findings brought by the currently evolving research project dedicated to the personal and professional life of the Czech-American curator of modern and contemporary visual art, Charlotta Kotik (Kotíková), who is also well-known to the Czech general public as a grand-grand-daughter of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. This project builds upon an ongoing series of biographical interviews which deal with diverse palette of topics: personal family histories and memories; the entanglements of the family and the national history; the experience of geopolitical and ideological transition through emigration; the high-profile curatorial career in the field of the Noth-American contemporary visual art; the return to Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic after 1989; and the articulation of curatorial practices, which draw upon the philosophical understanding of space, urban public space, volume, body, and movement.
Full programme of the colloqium is available in PDF.
