Pak Tanja

Written by

Tanja Pak se ustvarjalno posveča kiparstvu, prostorskim umetniškim postavitvam in oblikovanju uporabnih steklenih predmetov. V umetniških delih zadnjih let raziskuje predvsem občutke osamljenosti in samosti, pri čemer izpostavlja iskanje bližine, krhko naravo medsebojnih vezi in razmerij, in ob tem seveda izmuzljivost naše celosti.

Čerče Ksenija

Written by

Ksenija Čerče (1969) graduated (1999) and received her master’s degree (2002) in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. Prior to that, between 1988 and 1996, she completed her studies at FNT TT Clothing and Textile Design. In 2003, she received the Fulbright Scholarship for advanced study in the United States where she received a master’s degree in video and sound art (from Liz Phillips) at Purchase College State University of New York. She was an active member of Circulation 2 between 2007 and 2011. She creates in painting as well as in sound and video art, where her work focuses on researching elementary topics: the phenomenology of materiality, experiencing the relationship between visual and auditory perception and especially the multifaceted interdependence of the media in which they arise.

She has recently worked as a project leader for the Goethe Institute (2018) and as a visiting researcher at Humboldt University in Berlin (2019). She is employed at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design of the University of Ljubljana as an associate professor in the field of painting.

She is the recipient of several awards, including the Rihard Jakopič Award for the exhibition The voice of the image in the Equrna Gallery (2018), the Fulbright Scholarship (2003), the working scholarship of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia (2006 and 2002) and the Golden Bird Award with Circulation 2 (2010).
