About Eva Kot'átková

The Czech sculptor and performance artist Eva Kot'átková was born in Prague in 1982. Her work 'Educational Model' is placed in the courtyard of the Deutsche Telekom headquarter in Bonn. It's an artwork consisting of stacked and overlapping, simply fashioned tables and stools and should be used by the people for sitting, communicating and climbing. In such a way experiencing the content and intention by a playful activity.

With clear, unadorned language, it highlights hierarchies created by educational and institutional structures. Hierarchies, mutual dependencies and prejudices and their psychological impact play a central role in Eva Kot'átková's work. Her large installations often highlight the human body's functions and manifestations as an envelope, as a latticework and even as a prison. Her creations thus examine limitations throughout a spectrum from inner compulsions and prejudices to outer constraints and restrictions.
