Guided by: Matej Andraž Vogrinčič, artist
Exhibition Ne vem / I don’t know is the first attempt of reviewing Matej Andraž Vogrinčič’s works created in the last 15 years in Ljubljana, Venice, Australia, Siberia and beyond. Matej Andraž Vogrinčič is the author of site-specific installations in urban and natural landscapes. His monumental interventions incorporate every-day objects (water cans, balls, shovels, glasses) and transform selected locations into artistically and imaginatively provocative spaces. His installations have been created in a dialogue with local communities, tradition and history, but with a convincing turn into the unknown.
