The group exhibition presents the works of four Slovenian artists of the youngest generation who have developed their artistic practices in the context of site-specific art, spatial transformations or digital extensions, simulations and other forms of digital virtuality. The conceptual orientation of the exhibition arises from the question of how to navigate the neutrality of the gallery space with the experiences of these practices.
Maks Bricelj (1991) graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana in 2016, where he also completed his master’s degree in sculpture in 2021. He showed his work together with Ema Maznik Antić in the exhibition Hi-Res Prints for Burial T–shirts in Aksioma (2023), in solo exhibitions Adaptation (Plaza Protocol, 2023), Plaza Protocol – Deposit in the Little Gallery of the Bank of Slovenia (2022), Terminal Drift in MoTA LAB (2022), Open Call in Škuc Gallery (2017), Community Kit in MAO Project Space (2017) and elsewhere.
