Reference
Milena Dopitová is a conceptual artist, dealing with the gender issues as well. Since the beginning of 1990s, the artist has been producing installations in which the themes reflecting on social and body identity are being worked out. She intuitively applies methods of sociological-like research in her works; in the single projects she had been focusing on such phenomena as adolescence, ageing process, death or violence. One can interprete her works as research in the language of art, in its function of defining the position of an individual within the social and biological structures. She was an active member of Pondělí (Monday) art group formed in 1989.
