Stanislava Kovalčíková “Rubigo” at Kunstverein Freiburg

Stanislava Kovalčíková has opened her first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, titled "Rubigo," at Kunstverein Freiburg. The exhibition features a large-scale installation constructed from red plasticine, which forms an immersive environment housing a series of paintings executed on discarded clock dials salvaged from Prussian church towers.

The exhibition is significant as it marks a major step in the artist's career, introducing her work to a new institutional context in Germany. The use of specific, symbolically charged materials—the synthetic clay evoking bodily interiority and the historical clock faces suggesting time and ritual—creates a potent dialogue between organic form, industrial material, and cultural memory, positioning Kovalčíková's practice within contemporary discourses of materiality and site-specific installation.
