The main theme of Piaček’s separate exhibition is a personal identity in national and historical point of view. He, as an artist, looks critically on the consequences of being born in Slovakia, as a Slovak citizen. He has to deal with his genetic and national connection to slovak identity - this identity becomes a source of curiosity and a theme for personal research. Piaček considers the distrust to our official history, that slowly became a simplified myth of otherwise complex events, as a main inspiration for his works. He has a special interest in critical places and dates of “own” national history.

Martin Piaček (1972) studied College of Fine Arts (VŠVU) in prof. Bartusz’s and prof. Jankovič’s studio.
