Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin with Tina Poliačková

In the 29th issue of Contemporary Czech Art in Berlin, we talk to
Tina Poliačková, a curator and contemporary art critic based in
Prague with Slovak roots.


Last year she received The Věra Jirousová award (for visual art
critics) in the category of emerging art critics with her text
The Search for the lost God (Hľadanie strateného Boha). As a
reward, she received a few days' stay in Berlin in cooperation
with the Czech Centre Berlin, which she visited in May this year.
Currently, she is completing a PhD programme at the Academy of
Fine Arts under the supervision of doc. Václav Magid, where she
researches the phenomenon of "romanticism" in contemporary art.
She contributes to various Czech magazines focused on visual art
and co-curates exhibitions at independent contemporary
galleries(Berlinskej Model, and Holešovická šachta). She also
performs as a DJ under the pseudonym "dirrtina" as part of the
DJ/AV collective Blazing Bullets, where she is involved in
experimental and post-club music. She studied History of Art at
the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and MA in Theory and
History of Modern and Contemporary Art at UMPRUM in Prague.
