Lucía Tallová's solo exhibition Fragility of the Caryatid at Rosenfeld Palace (12/10/2023)
Lucie Tallová’s solo exhibition projects images of a woman as a fragile caryatid in a total site-specific installation on the premises of the Rosenfeld Palace. Caryatids, as sculptural elements of architecture, served as pillars of ancient buildings. They were usually depicted as standing figures and half-figures that seemed to bear the weight of the entire structure on their heads or shoulders. Today, the caryatid is a universal metaphor for a woman who feels burdened or tired by the expectations placed on her by society, family, relationships, and the complexities of contemporary life. Tallová’s Unstable Monuments series is a tribute to women as caryatids, carrying on their shoulders the sometimes too-demanding weight of responsibility for the running of an unstable, changing world. Curated by Lucia Gregorová Stach, the exhibition will be open to visitors between 12 October 2023 - 16 February 2024.
