Amálie Plavcová - Continuum

Amálie Plav­cová is a grad­u­ate of Fine Arts – Cre­ation in Pub­lic Space at the Fac­ul­ty of Art and Archi­tec­ture, Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Liberec. She was drawn to art by a love of move­ment, amaze­ment at the end­less trans­for­ma­tion of the world, and joy in the strong will to live. Her work exists at the inter­sec­tion of del­i­cate tex­tile objects that respond to social themes and fleet­ing site-specific inter­ven­tions in places asso­ci­at­ed with con­tro­ver­sies from both the past and present. She is inter­est­ed in the iden­ti­ty of places, their his­tor­i­cal weight, as well as their poten­tial for the future. Through inter­ven­tions empha­siz­ing the theme of tem­po­ral­i­ty, she seeks to briefly enliv­en these spaces.

Out­door environments—with their chang­ing con­di­tions, the wind, peo­ple with their own sto­ries, and time itself—are an impor­tant fac­tor for the artist. The emerg­ing and dis­ap­pear­ing scenes remain a fas­ci­na­tion for her due to their non­vi­o­lent nature, even as they speak of the great con­ti­nu­ity of trans­for­ma­tions amidst which we live, and from which there is no escape.
