Moving Clouds – this is the title of the solo exhibition by Lucia Tallová, Deutsche Bank “Artist of the Year” 2026, opening at PalaisPopulaire. The exhibition presents a broad selection of her works and honors her artistic position that poetically explores the fragility of memory in an increasingly accelerated and digitally shaped present.

The Open House marks the unveiling of Tallová’s exhibition. Throughout the evening, live speakers invite you to explore her constructions, collages, and paintings, guiding you through the works and offering insights along the way. The opening will be accompanied by music and the Café LePopulaire will provide drinks and snacks.

Deutsche Bank honors Lucia Tallová as "Artist of the Year" 2026. Born in Bratislava in 1985, Tallová completed her studies at the local art academy and gained international recognition in 2022 through her participation in the Lyon Biennale. For her collages, she uses photographs from old books and magazines, partly combined with found objects such as furniture fragments and natural materials. At the intersection of painting, collage, and installation, she develops an impressive visual language. In doing so, she addresses themes such as ecology, suppressed female histories, modernity, loss, and utopia. Her "Artist of the Year" award recognizes the relevance of Tallová's poetic exploration of the fragility of memory in an accelerated, digital present. 

On the occasion of her exhibition Moving Clouds, PalaisPopulaire invites visitors to an artist talk with Slovak artist Lucia Tallová, who has been named Deutsche Bank’s Artist of the Year 2026.

In conversation, Tallová will offer insights into her artistic practice, which operates at the intersection of painting, collage, and installation. Drawing on photographs from vintage books and magazines, often combined with found objects, furniture fragments, and natural materials, she creates evocative visual worlds that explore themes of memory, loss, utopia, ecology, modernity, and overlooked female histories.

The artist will talk with Britta Färber, Global Head of Art and Culture at Deutsche Bank and curator of the exhibition, about how the works came about, the themes of the exhibition, and Tallová's artistic perspectives.
