Polona Maher / Hustle and Bustle
UGM Kabinet, Strossmayerjeva ulica 6
Friday, 17 October 2025, 19:00
curator: Breda Kolar Sluga
You are invited to UGM Kabinet on Friday, 17 October 2025 at 19:00, to the presentation of a brand new body of work by sculptress Polona Maher, who is finally returning to the artistic space of Maribor after a long period of no exhibitions. The opening will be followed by a conversation with the artist.
Polona Maher’s practice aligns with women artists who have introduced soft and everyday materials into sculpture – from Eva Hesse and Sheila Hicks to contemporary Slovenian creators exploring textiles and reuse. Through the interweaving of new and old, she draws attention to the potential of overlooked materials and poses critical questions about women’s labour and the redefinition of sculpture today.
