Jan Durina (*1988, Žilina, Czechoslovakia) is a Slovak interdisciplinary artist, musician, curator, and researcher based in Prague. Through performance, photography, and sound, Durina explores the nuances of narrative, engaging with themes such as loneliness, loss, the boundaries between nature and the body, and the distortions of the human mind as experienced within evolving notions of gender and identity. Durina creates multimedia artworks that move seamlessly and confidently between exhibition and performance contexts. His artistic thinking draws on critical queer theory, feminist and ecofeminist thought, and autotheory. Themes of mental health, human vulnerability, care, cooperation, and horizontally functioning interpersonal relationships emerge as recurring and foundational elements of his work. Durina is also the cofounder of the performance collective Romeo & Hellion, established in 2020 with Slovak artist Miriama Kardošová. His artworks are held in the permanent collections of the Slovak National Gallery (Bratislava, Slovakia), the Peter Michal Bohúň Gallery (Liptovský Mikuláš, Slovakia), the Museum of Arts and Design Benešov (Benešov, Czech Republic), as well as numerous private collections.
