“It is not interesting to be recognised at a young age as an artist. Because art is not about being recognised but to work and understand a medium well.” – Anna Boghiguian
Eva Schlegel expands the properties and limits of photography and sculpture by situating each discipline in relationship to the other. Her photographs are studies in depth. One looks into them rather than at them. Her sculptures, meanwhile, deny depth. Flat, opaque, impenetrable, their mirrored surfaces refuse to reflect either body or being. They fracture the 3-dimensional space of existence. This is photography and sculpture that together make possible impossible spaces.

The formation of the artist duo of Nevena Aleksovski & Maja Babič Košir was a spontaneous and natural process that came about thanks to their very similar artistic practices. The result is a distinctly multimedia and multilayered experiment. With certain aspects of their identity (woman, artist, precarious worker and migrant), they tried to find common ground that would help them transform the particular into the universal.
Beauty of textures 🧽 The works of Vera Kox put our perceptions to the test, examining the relationship of differing materials and their textures – whether industrial or hand-made – as well as their associations with each other. Kox interrogates our understanding and relation to materiality and material. Her objects absorb our projected ideas and allow their potential to fluctuate, such that through further observation they constantly change – just like the world, in which our bodies find themselves in a perpetual cycle of transformation.
Franz West challenged traditional concepts of sculpture and eradicated the taboo of touching art. By putting his artworks on the ground in public spaces, West demolished hierarchy in the relationship between the viewer and the artwork. Art was no longer passive and unresponsive to the viewer, one now had to address the work and think how to engage with it. Consequently, West earned the title of the ‘gentle anarchist.’
