Olga Zimmelová (1945) entered the world in Majdalena in southern Bohemia. In 1968, she took the leap to Switzerland, where she settled and pursued an education in the arts. During this time, conceptual art held a prominent position on the world stage, and Zimmelová – much like her fellow Czech artists who departed the country during that era – was drawn to this innovative movement. Her art took on a natural conceptual trajectory, characterized by her inherent inclination towards openness. She does not hold onto anything, be it in life or in art. The exhibition, An Unencumbered Look at the Church of St. Lawrence, utilizes painting, objects, and projections to showcase Zimmelová’s unfettered reflection on her birthplace and childhood, as well as other significant locations in her life.
