Una riflessione sulla trasformazione. Quadriennale of Rome. From Public Body to Foundation. Reflection on transformation. In 2010 she was awarded by the Lemmermann Foundation for this research.
Lýdia Pribišová is interested in testing the boundaries of art. In her curatorial projects, she focuses on subversive art practices that go against typical social and cultural patterns. In her work, Pribišová observes how cultural stereotypes are constructed as well as the shifting positions of individual subjects in society. She works with themes of collective memory, sharing, and local Central European history, in part by questioning social rules, conformism, and the changing role of public space in post-communist societies.
She collaborated with institutions and galleries in various countries:
