Magdalena Jiřička-Stojowska. Attempting an Anatomical Gaze: On the Work of Eva Kot’átkova

Summary/Abstract: Magdalena Jiřička-Stojowska describes the work of Eva Kot’átkova, a Czech visual artist and performer. She goes over the tactics Kot’átkova uses, analyzing recurrent themes (such as children, animals, and books). She covers some of the artist’s work, such as the Za mezi nas pod v (Pokoj) [Behind between over under in (Room)] and Cesta do školy [The Road to School] projects. She focuses considerable attention on work done at the Prague Psychiatric Hospital in Bohnice: Kot’átkova organized the art brut exhibition Dvouhlavý životopisec a muzeum představ [The Two-headed Biographer and the Museum of the Imagination) and directed the play The Judicial Murder of Jakob Mohr.
