    PRACTICE OF SOLITUDE | 2020

Exhibition Practice of Solitude combines the work of two environments and two authors in a mutual space. The first environment consists only of the memories of the Western Fjords of Iceland, where the author spent one month during the winter this year. The second place represents Košice, where Lucia was creating together with partner and artist Ján Skaličan during two summer months at the residency programme K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence. Practice of Solitude is not an objective representation of reality. The individual parts, objects and images are interconnected by their subjective urgent need for the physical materialization of an idea. The gesture has an important function, its place in the process and the passage of time. Loss of solid ground under feet, doubt, distrust in the ability to know. Mutual loneliness is an inseparable part of our being, it is necessary to accept it, to learn together to use it for the benefit of personality.
