ART BIO

BIOGRAPHY
Martin Toldy is an artist, performer, researcher, and organizer working in the context of Slovak art since 2013. 
Combining intermedia project or installations with live performance he focuses on how we confront ourselves with play, chance, experimentation, and collaboration. In this way he inquires into current cultures of care, economies of intimacy, politics of sharing; in other words, into our ability to be and feel together. Usually he incorporates elements of humour, simplicity and absurdity as well as conceptual and research-based approaches. Martin Toldy graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in the Intermedia department in 2019 with a diploma thesis on the topic of "Fields and Roles on Our Scene". 
He is the founder and an active member of the performative group Marína Abramovič Po Sebe Neupratuje          https://mapsn.myportfolio.com
