Anetta Mona Chisa (born in Romania) and Lucia Tkáčová (born in Slovakia) have been working together since 2000. They both graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava and currently live and work in Prague and Bratislava.
They
explore gender relations as well as their role of Eastern European artists in a
Western-dominated art world. With videos, installations, textual works, and
performances they refract consumer expectations and trigger processes of reflection
about gender questions, the art market, and making art. They focus on the
post-communist world with all its changes. The gaze of the artists is directed
at the concrete experiential world of individuals being subjected to the
transformation process from communism to capitalism.
