At this stage of my professional development, I am focused on strengthening my artistic research and curatorial skills, aiming to establish a solid position within the field. My goal is to be able to communicate significant topics and insights through public art exhibitions, artistic publications, and curated programs.

​

In 2023, during a curatorial internship, I met the internationally renowned artist Tom Price. I chose to focus on his work after a thorough study of his practice and his distinctive approach to life and art. Based on this research, I began developing a curatorial concept and exhibition project to showcase his work. We are now collaborating on this project, which we intend to propose to institutions across Europe for future realization.

​

Tom Price is a British artist with international acclaim, particularly in the USA, Asia, and the UK. He currently lives and works in Mallorca. His acceptance of my proposal to collaborate on this project represents a crucial opportunity for my professional growth. This partnership allows me to build experience in curating at a higher level and supports my ambition to establish myself as an independent curator and cultural professional.

​

Reflecting on our collaboration, Tom Price shared the following:

"The time we were able to spend together was invaluable and enabled us to explore, discuss, and investigate the ideas, concepts, and practicalities of our collaboration in a way that would have been impossible were she not here in person. Being able to meet regularly and spontaneously allowed us to work in a much more fluid and dynamic way than would have been possible had we only been able to communicate remotely.

I provided Zuzana with first-hand practical knowledge and experience of how my works are made and where I source my materials. She participated in the fabrication of several pieces, which I believe gave her a much deeper insight into my practice and working methodologies. Furthermore, having unlimited access to my studio and library meant that Zuzana could explore many publications and articles on my work and collaborations—resources that mostly exist only in my personal archive and are not available online.

Overall, it was an incredibly valuable experience—one that has enriched our collaborative project with a much deeper mutual understanding. I am absolutely convinced that the exhibition, when it materialises, will be far more successful as a result of this grant, which enabled us to spend so much time learning from each other face to face."
