Ladislava Gažiová (* 1981) is one of the outstanding personalities of the contemporary art scene. After two years of studies in Košice, she moved to Prague at the beginning of the millennium, where she attended the studios of Vladimír Skrepl at the Academy of Fine Arts and Jiří David at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. She has had dozens of individual and group exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad.

In addition to her own work, she has also curated exhibitions of other artists. In 2024, she became the second laureate of the Meda Mládek Prize. The expert jury, consisting of independent experts and representatives of Museum Kampa, recognised the uniqueness of Gažiová’s artistic expression and her ability to raise important social issues through her paintings and curatorial work. The exhibition Waiting in the premises of the so-called Stables will present a selection of Gažiová’s most recent works. It is the artist’s first major exhibition in nine years.
