About the Exhibition
The central reference point around which the concept of Marina Gržinić’s exhibition was organized is the process of reassessing our perspective on the changes taking place in art and culture under the weight of migration. Irreversible.
At the heart of the exhibition lies a focal point on the 40-year journey of video-film and installation work by Marina Gržinić and Aina Šmid. This showcase not only celebrates their collaborative oeuvre, which began in 1982 and has left a profound artistic and political impact across former Yugoslavia, Slovenia, and beyond, but also introduces a fresh collaborative venture involving Marina Gržinić, Tjaša Kancler, and Jovita Pristovšek, which began in 2022.
Marina Gržinićis a doctor of philosophy and works as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Austria. She also works as a Principal Research Associate at the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Institute of Philosophy, Ljubljana, Slovenia. Gržinić has published numerous articles, essays and several books and has been a video artist in the field of political film for 40 years. She is currently leading the research project Conviviality as Potentiality (FWF AR 679) with her research team Dr. Jovita Pristovšek, Asma Aiad, BA MA, and Anahita Neghabat, MA.
