Anna Dau膷铆kov谩
Anna Dau膷铆kov谩 is an artist and teacher based in Prague. Following her graduation from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava in 1978, she emigrated to Moscow (then the USSR) where she lived and worked for over a decade. In this period, she developed an extensive painting practice, as well as an interest in photography triggered by her encounters with feminist thinking. Returning to Bratislava in 1991, Dau膷铆kov谩 co-founded an influential feminist journal Aspekt and her practice shifted towards video art and performance events, which were then widely popular throughout the Slovak art scene. The engagement of the artist鈥檚 body and bodily actions became the main concern in this video work, and in presenting a queer aesthetic.
Alongside her artistic work, Dau膷铆kov谩 has been a co-founder and activist for several women鈥檚 NGOs, and a spokesperson for LGBT rights in Slovakia. Her academic career includes teaching positions at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design Bratislava and, since 2012, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.
