Samuel Velebný is a visual artist, curator and theorist. The sources of his work are a wide range of (sub)cultures and art forms, from the non-professional art of football stadiums, to murals, graphics and digital animations, to video essays, texts and curatorial projects. Formally, Samuel works on a basis of a found object, which he redesigns and recontextualizes using other materials that originate from a chosen topic, either poetically or because of their genesis. As a curator, dramaturge and a graphic designer, he cooperates with the VUNU Gallery and Tabačka Gallery in Košice. In 2022, he presented his first solo exhibition at VUNU, he also took part at a literary residency of the Visegrad Fund in Krakow and he is now preparing for his SKUSY Air art residency in Athens. From 2021, he's been a full-time PhD. student at the Faculty of Arts at TUKE.
