Rehearsing Skin
Workshop
Kafkárna
today
The workshop will function as a rehearsal – a rehearsal, an experiment, and a shared exploration. It will be based on Hofmann’s performative method, which connects bodily experience with processes of perception, listening, and situated action.
We will focus on a working method that links a performative approach with the perception of skin as both medium and boundary – between body and space, between self and others. Together, we will explore what happens when skin is understood not merely as a surface, but as a site of communication, sensitivity, and transformation.
The workshop is part of the Studio with Visiting Artists and Fine Arts Studio 1 programs.

Lukáš Hofmann
Although Hofmann works primarily in the field of performance, his artistic practice extends across disciplines and media, and he is also active as a curator. Together with his peers, he slides down museum railings, deforms his face by pressing it against glass, and uses a needle and thread to create a red line between bodies. In the dark, he steals construction netting, develops perfumes exhibited as Waters of Life and Death, films the skin as it becomes skin. As a curator, he has invited an amateur ornithologist duo to perform bird songs, organized a recital in a sauna and a string quartet concert, and later had a greenhouse built in a gallery garden.
He has presented his work at MUDAM Museum of Modern Art in Luxembourg, Centre Pompidou in Paris, CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux, Moderna Museet in Malmö and Stockholm, Schinkel Pavillon and SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin, Art in General in New York, Brussels Gallery Weekend, the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen, the National Gallery Prague, PLATO Ostrava, and Cabaret Voltaire during Manifesta 11in Zurich. In 2018, he received the Jindřich Chalupecký Award.
