Text about artistic practice
A detailed, thorough and precise commentary on art practice, describing different aspects of artistic experience. Separate abstracts can be used for applications for participation in various awards, grants, open calls, collaborations with brands or with other artists. If the artist turns to the search for new landmarks, the text will be useful as evidence that fixes a certain stage of artistic conception and optics.
Text about a specific project or work
A text about a precise episode of art practice, specific exhibition project, cycle of works or a specific work. Using an extended theoretical substantiation of the project, integrating the current discourses of contemporary art, the texts conditionally provide answers to the following questions: How is the project embedded in the theory and practice of contemporary art? Why is artistic expression relevant?
