What role do the body, physical presence, and material play in contemporary art? Can works of art be created from ordinary objects, fabrics, or toys? And how does art help us reflect on emotions, identity, or our relationship to the world? 


The TransformArt series features five inspiring interviews with figures from various fields. Each lesson connects works of art with themes that extend beyond the gallery setting and shows how contemporary art and the questions it raises can be closely related to our everyday lives.


This series loosely follows the upcoming exhibition by French artist Anette Messager: Tragicomedy at Kunsthalle Praha, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary art. In her work, Messager often uses everyday materials and objects, transforming them into powerful and surprising artistic statements.
